At the end of last year COLI Group’s Guyana division successfully completed its first major logistics projects.
The inaugural project for COLI Shipping & Transport (Guyana), managed with colleagues from COLI Brasil and in partnership with XPD Global, involved the handling and receipt of a crane, counterweights and accessories from Kingston, Jamaica, which arrived in Guyana last September.
The crane measured 16.2 m in length and weighed over 91 tonnes, totaling 218,107 cu m. A lift point analysis ensured secure and efficient handling throughout the transportation and discharge process. Despite a vessel delay and the need for rapid mobilisation on arrival, COLI Guyana coordinated closely and successfully with all stakeholders, ensuring a seamless flow from port arrival to final delivery at a local oil and gas service provider.
Separately, COLI Guyana collaborated with Romeu Mexico in October 2024 to import a 14 m-long storage tank, weighing 19.5 tonnes, from Veracruz, Mexico. The transport required a detailed route survey and extensive coordination with engineers and transportation teams to navigate the logistics challenges posed by the tank’s dimensions. Again, the job was performed smoothly, said COLI.
Angelica Rodney, branch manager for COLI Guyana, said: “Successfully handling these first two projects is a proud moment for COLI Group and for me personally as well. It shows our capabilities and proves that COLI Guyana has a role to play in the region.”
