Santiago de Chile, 10 November 2025 — deugro Chile, working jointly with deugro Spain, has completed the transportation of a mobile LNG service station from Spain to Chile in support of its client’s green corridor project linking Chile and Peru.
The cargo unit measured 18.16 meters in length, 3.38 meters in width, and 3.55 meters in height, with a total weight of 30 metric tons. (The overland transport phase documentation listed a width of 3.50 meters.) The green corridor, which connects Lima and Puerto Montt, consists of a network of LNG fueling stations for trucks. It promotes the use of LNG as an alternative to diesel fuel and currently serves more than 300 trucks across various sectors, including mining and forestry.
Under the coordination of deugro Spain, the cargo was loaded at the Port of Bilbao onto a multipurpose heavy-lift vessel. Because the unit’s walls were built from carbon fiber, it required precise handling in line with technical drawings and method statements. Special lifting and stowage points were designated to avoid any damage during the voyage.
Following a 7,000-nautical-mile journey, the vessel reached the Port of Valparaíso, Chile, where the 18-meter-long unit was discharged directly by port crane onto a special extendable low-bed trailer arranged by deugro Chile.
Due to public holidays in Chile that restricted the transport of oversized cargo, operational teams from deugro monitored vessel berthing daily to meet the terminal’s schedule and avoid extra storage costs. Escort coordination, vessel arrival adjustments, and port change arrangements were also managed, according to Carolina Andrea Naranjo, Senior Logistics Coordinator at deugro Chile.
For onward transport to the project site in Tabolango, Limache—approximately 38 kilometers from Valparaíso—deugro Chile conducted a road survey to determine the safest and most suitable route. The survey verified that there were no height restrictions, as key components were located on the upper section of the equipment. The company secured the required permits and police escorts before transport.
Throughout the move and up to final delivery, deugro’s project management team and a surveyor ensured adherence to safety procedures. The LNG service station arrived safely, on time, and according to budget.
