BigRoll KMC Busan has completed a heavy-lift shipment call at Tianjin, China, where the vessel loaded a wellhead module for an offshore energy project in Nigeria.
Part of the BigRoll Module Carrier fleet, the vessel was developed for modularised cargo and oversized shipments. BigRoll KMC Busan has an overall length of 166 m and a beam of 40 m. With an open flush deck and high deadweight capacity, the ship is designed to transport large industrial components for oil and gas projects as well as heavy equipment for renewable energy developments.
During the recent call at the Port of Tianjin, the operation centred on loading the wellhead module, described in the source material as a key structure in a $2 billion shallow-water gas condensate development project in Nigeria. The project is led by a major player in the oil and gas sector.
The loading and securing process required precise handling and close coordination among the crew, project teams and terminal operators. According to the source material, the work was carried out to complete the loadout safely, efficiently and with minimal downtime.
Once installed, the wellhead module will help deliver up to 500 million cubic feet of natural gas per day, contributing to local energy supply and national development goals in Nigeria.
