G2 Ocean has once again demonstrated its expertise in handling heavy, large, and complex project cargoes by achieving another milestone: the transportation of a seawater treatment package featuring several highly complex components.
The highlight was the 376-metric-ton ultrafiltration unit, alongside a 322-metric-ton sulphate removal unit that measured 18.6 metres in height—the tallest cargo ever stowed underdeck on the Star Lysefjord.
The shipment was delivered to Brazil, where these massive units will be installed as topside modules on a Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel.
"Cargo of this nature is typically transported using deck carriers. By choosing our open hatch cargo vessel for the task, G2 Ocean showcased both bold innovation and technical expertise," said Edwin Peh, Project Cargo Director Pacific at G2 Ocean.
By entrusting such a challenging shipment to G2 Ocean, the customer has demonstrated a strong confidence in the company’s capabilities and a willingness to pursue innovative solutions for complex logistical needs.
"G2 Ocean’s proactive approach and innovative solutions in cargo shipping truly set the company apart in the industry,” said Aaron Ng, former Head of Project Development - Southeast Asia at Pentagon Freight Services (Singapore) Pte Ltd, adding:
“We see commitment to efficiency and forward-thinking strategies being evident in every aspect of their operations, and it significantly enhances the shipping experience for us at Pentagon Freight Services."
Vast experience shipping complex cargoes
G2 Ocean’s dedicated project cargo experts, as well as its experienced operations team, played a key role in the success of this operation.
“Our years of experience serving diverse industries—renewable energy, oil and gas, mining, and construction—have given us a deep understanding of the unique challenges associated with transporting heavy and complex cargo. We recognise that diligent planning and precise execution are essential to ensure safety and efficiency,” said Peh.
“In this operation, our careful preparation, technical expertise, and hands-on coordination ensured that every stage—from stowage planning and lifting to transit—was carried out safely. By anticipating risks and collaborating closely with engineers, logistics partners, and the vessel’s crew, we delivered a tailored solution that enabled the seamless movement of these outsized modules.”
