Anker Handle Gas Compressor Project from Texas to Cartagena
26th August 2025
Anker Logistica y Carga in Colombia have recently handled a complex project from Texas to the Port of Cartagena.
They provided a comprehensive coordination of the project and the cargo consisted of the following:
- 4 Gas Compressors - 35 x 12 x 10ft / 116,000lb
- 4 Coolers - 21 x 10 x 14ft / 23,000lb
- Wooden Skid - 10 x 8 x 8 / 10,000lb
- Plus necessary parts for assembly
A pre-loading inspection was conducted for all the cargo stored in the open yard in Houston with the four compressors loaded on Mafi trailers.
The four compressors and four coolers were loaded to the vessel by 2 cranes in a 'Christmas Tree' formation, using one 6m spreader bar, two 3m spreader bars, chains, slings, and shackles.
The compressors were secured with long-link chains and shackles to 37mt SWL welded D-rings on the upper deck pontoon of the vessel.
After completing the corresponding customs procedures, the international transit to the Port of Cartagena began. At this stage, joint work was carried out with the port authorities and customs at the destination to perform the clearance in a shorter time than usual for this type of cargo.
