CNC Freight Services
Successfully Charters Antonovs for Sudan EPCC Client Shipments
“Transports to Sudan Very Healthy on the
Back of Energy Project Business”
Khartoum, Sudan, September 19, 2005 – CNC Freight Services Sdn Bhd, Global
Project Logistics Network member based in Port Klang, Malaysia, recently
announced the successful execution of two air charters of Antonov 124 in
July. CNC successfully delivered 200 metric ton of oilwell equipments which
were urgently required by their customers in Sudan.
CNC Freight Services Sdn Bhd is currently busy handling two projects for
Malaysian EPCC clients who have secured different contracts in the oilfield
and pipeline development projects at Sudan. Since September 2004, CNC
shipped about 350 FEUs and well over 6000 freight tons of construction
equipment and materials to Sudan. One of the two customers, Bentini NF
Energy, a joint-venture company between Bentini of Italy and the Malaysian
based Nam Fatt Corporation, has accounted for approx 200 FEUs and 5,000 m3
of breakbulk cargo during this time. Bentini NF Energy is an EPC contractor
of six pumping facilities for Melut Basin Development Project in Blocks 3
and 7 in Upper Nile and White Nile states, which is one of the biggest oil
investment projects in Sudan. Bentini NF Energy is expected to complete the
pumping facilities by April of 2006.
Melut Basin is an integrated project covering oil production in the fields
until its export from the Peace Port at the cost of 1.7 billion dollars. The
project produces about 200,000 barrels per day yet it is expected to
increase to 500,000 barrels per day. The length of the pipeline for
transporting oil is around 500 kilometers with a diameter of 32 inches. It
begins from Faloog area in the Upper Nile and ends in the export ports in
the Red Sea State, passing through White Nile, Khartoum and River Nile
states. The pipeline capacity amounts to 500,000 barrels per day, starting
with more than 150,000 BPD from 99 wells in Faloog field. In October 2004,
Malaysian Peremba began construction of a USD 232 million marine export
terminal for the Melut Basin Oil Development Project. The terminal,
scheduled for completion in December 2005, will have a capacity of 2 million
bbl/d.
In handling the Antonov charters CNC Freight Services left no stone
unturned, which included the company’s managing director traveling to
Khartoum to oversea the cargo’s arrival. “CNC’s core expertise lies in the
field of project cargo forwarding where we have strong track records in
handling overdimensionals and heavylifts for various industries and
clienteles,” says Patrick Lee, “and we showed what we were capable of in
with the Sudan cargo but being an example. Handling overdimensional and
heavy lifts has all the while been our forte.”
