Vietnam Global Transport Corporation \u2014 VGT is currently participating in the receiving, transportation, and load-in operations for the LNG Power Plant and Terminal Project<\/strong> in Botum Sakor District, Koh Kong Province, Cambodia.<\/p>\n

The project is developed by Royal Group<\/strong> and is regarded as one of Cambodia\u2019s large-scale energy projects, supporting the country\u2019s development of gas-fired power infrastructure, LNG terminal facilities, and future power supply capacity.<\/p>\n

The LNG power project in Koh Kong has an estimated capacity of approximately 900MW<\/strong> and is developed together with LNG terminal infrastructure for the import, storage, and supply of liquefied natural gas to the power plant. With a total investment of approximately USD 1.34 \u2013 1.35 billion<\/strong>, the project plays an important role in Cambodia\u2019s energy transition, power system stability, and socio-economic development.<\/p>\n

13 Equipment Packages for the LNG Project<\/h2>\n

Within the project scope, VGT is responsible for receiving and transporting 13 equipment packages<\/strong> from Sihanoukville Port to the LNG project working area in Koh Kong.<\/p>\n

The cargo includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 02 transformers weighing 305 tons each.<\/li>\n
  • 01 transformer weighing 77 tons.<\/li>\n
  • 09 modules.<\/li>\n
  • 01 lifting beam weighing 53 tons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Among them, the 02 transformers weighing 305 tons each are the heaviest cargo items, requiring a specialized transportation plan, close coordination, and careful preparation in terms of equipment, site conditions, load control, and safety throughout the entire operation.<\/p>\n

    Due to the heavy weight, special dimensions, and high technical requirements of the cargo, the project demands strict logistics planning, particularly in port receiving, barge loading, waterway transportation, load-in at the jetty, and internal transportation to the site.<\/p>\n

    Combined Waterway Transportation and Site Load-in Solution<\/h2>\n

    To meet the specific requirements of the heavy equipment cargo for the LNG Power Plant and Terminal Project in Koh Kong, VGT has developed a transportation solution that combines waterway transportation with internal site transportation.<\/p>\n

    From Sihanoukville Port, the cargo is received by VGT, loaded onto 02 barges<\/strong>, and transported to the jetty<\/strong> located within the LNG project working area. This is a critical stage that requires strict control of cargo weight, cargo positioning on the barges, securing arrangements, and close coordination among the port, marine transport units, operation teams, and relevant parties at the site.<\/p>\n

    After the cargo arrives at the jetty, VGT continues with the load-in and lowering operations at the site<\/strong>. Depending on the weight, dimensions, and characteristics of each cargo item, suitable transportation equipment is selected to ensure safety, stability, and operational efficiency within the project area.<\/p>\n

    For the 02 transformers weighing 305 tons each<\/strong>, VGT uses Nicolas modular trailers<\/strong> for transportation into the site. The remaining cargo, including the 77-ton transformer, 09 modules, and 53-ton lifting beam, is loaded in using Goldhofer modular trailers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    The selection of suitable equipment for each cargo group helps optimize the transportation plan, ensure load-bearing capacity, enhance operational flexibility, and meet the actual site conditions at the jetty and within the construction area.<\/p>\n

    Safety Control and Site Coordination<\/h2>\n

    For heavy cargo projects, especially cargo items such as 305-ton transformers, safety is always a top priority throughout the entire operation.<\/p>\n

    Each stage requires careful preparation, from cargo data review, assessment of receiving conditions at the port, cargo positioning on barges, cargo securing, transportation to the jetty, to load-in and lowering at the designated location.<\/p>\n

    In addition to specialized equipment, site coordination plays a crucial role in ensuring that all operations are carried out in a synchronized manner, minimizing risks and meeting the project schedule. Coordination among the operation team, port operator, barge units, load-in team, and relevant parties at the site is a key factor in ensuring a safe, stable, and efficient transportation process.<\/p>\n

    Strengthening Project Logistics Capabilities in Southeast Asia<\/h2>\n

    The LNG Power Plant and Terminal Project in Koh Kong is a project with high requirements for project logistics, especially in the fields of energy, LNG, heavy industry, and port infrastructure.<\/p>\n

    Beyond transportation, VGT\u2019s scope of work in this project requires synchronized coordination across multiple stages: receiving cargo at Sihanoukville Port, loading cargo onto barges, transporting cargo to the project jetty, conducting load-in operations, performing internal site transportation, and lowering cargo at the required position.<\/p>\n

    Through this project, VGT continues to demonstrate its capability in organizing logistics solutions for complex project cargo, especially oversized and heavy-lift cargo, heavy industrial equipment, and large-scale energy projects in the regional market.<\/p>\n

    The project also reflects VGT\u2019s ability to develop flexible transportation solutions, combine multiple modes of transport, and deploy specialized equipment suitable for each cargo group, site condition, and technical requirement.<\/p>\n

    Accompanying Key Energy Projects<\/h2>\n

    VGT\u2019s participation in the LNG Power Plant and Terminal Project in Koh Kong further expands its footprint in Southeast Asia and reinforces the company\u2019s role in supporting large-scale energy and infrastructure projects.<\/p>\n

    With practical experience in project logistics, a professional operations team, specialized equipment, and flexible execution capabilities, VGT is committed to delivering safe, efficient, and project-specific transportation solutions.<\/p>\n

    The Koh Kong project is not only a heavy equipment transportation assignment, but also an opportunity for VGT to further demonstrate its capabilities in project logistics, especially for projects with complex scopes, multimodal transportation requirements, and strict on-site coordination.<\/p>\n
