Swire Projects has shipped refinery equipment and materials, with a total volume of approximately 9,193 cu m, from Mokpo in South Korea to Balikpapan, Indonesia.
The cargo, which included heavy components weighing around 194 tonnes and 145 tonnes, was transported using Swire Projects’ multipurpose vessel Pacific Endeavour – a 12,800 dwt unit equipped with two 120-tonne capacity cranes.
The shipment was destined for the refinery development master plan (RDMP) in Balikpapan, a strategic national refinery enhancement project designed to bolster energy resilience and self-sufficiency.
The Indonesian government is boosting its refining capabilities at five exiting sites under its RDMP. Back in 2022, the works at Balikpapan saw freight forwarder DSV deliver a 950-tonne oil distilling component from Malaysia on behalf of Hyundai Engineering.
