ALS (International) Limited provided specialist solutions to remove 4 x CO2 storage tanks 25.3 x 4.55 x 4.55m from load point due to road & dock restrictions.

A senior project manager from ALS (International) Limited in Hull, UK Project Team managed the lifting, loading, transport and discharge of the cargo in Sweden and Norway for the duration of the project, which took 1.5 weeks from dismantling to delivery.

ALS' Project team also arranged pre ops quay and waterway/ navigation inspections due to the limited waterways access involved.
