Stolthaven Terminals have reported New Zealand terminal expansion

Tanks and Terminals,
The company reported that they have achieved a milestone in the expansion of our Mount Maunganui terminal in New Zealand, with the safe arrival and installation of three new pre-constructed storage tanks, two already complete with insulation and cladding and with heating coils fitted.
In-situ construction would have been difficult, so it was instead confirmed that a crane-lift installation was possible. The process involved lifting the tanks (two 650 m3 capacity and one 1100 m3 capacity) onto two barges some 300 km from the terminal. They were then transported by sea, lifted onto transporters in the port and moved to our site for installation.
The whole process was no mean feat and precision was required every step of the way. Lots of planning went into the lift and the whole process went smoothly - even the weather was kind.
