Western Australia’s Freemantle Ports informed that the large electrical substation has been dispatched to Chevron’s Wheatsone LNG project site.
The Pacific Battler is towing a huge barge over a distance of more than a thousand sea miles to Western Australia’s Pilbara region, stands in the Freemantle Ports statement.
Pacific Battler is a 2100t ocean-going tug, 60m long, with 12,000t brake horsepower, a bollard pull of 150t and a winch pull of 300t.
The Wheatstone project, that includes two LNG trains with a combined capacity of 8.9 mtpa plus a 200 terajoule per day domestic gas plant, located 12 kilometres west of Onslow, is close to being 50% complete.
Offshore facilities for the liquefaction project include Australia’s largest offshore gas processing platform, with a 225 kilometre trunkline connecting it to the onshore plant.
