May 3 - Mammoet has completed a lift of coke drums at the Phillips 66 Lake Charles refinery in Louisiana, USA with its 5,000-ton (4535.9-tonne) capacity PTC 140 crane.

The required boom length for the lifts was 149 m, however the available assembly space was limited to 108 m. To overcome this challenge, Mammoet used a process designed in house that assembles a portion of the crane in the air.

During the crane assembly process, Mammoet completed over 30 lifts, each over 25 tons (22.7 tonnes).

Throughout the project's lifting scope, Mammoet executed 16 lifts, the heaviest weighing 600 tons (544 tonnes).
