AAL keeps the lights on in Queensland

[ July 11, 2023   //   ]

AAL Shipping (AAL) has recently shipped critical Toshiba-built power station components from China and Japan to Queensland, Australia on behalf of forwarder DB Schenker. They are to be used to repair the Callide Power Station as part of a USD200 million project to fix damaged turbines and return one of Queensland’s newest and most vital coal-fired power plants to full capacity, after failures had resulted in mass power outages from the NSW border to the north of Cairns.

The cargo, initially consisting of a 270-tonne transformer and 600cu m of accessories was loaded onto AAL’s 31,000 A-Class heavy lift MPV ‘AAL Singapore’ in Shanghai and was due to be discharged at the Port of Gladstone in Queensland, with the transformer offloaded to barge and then transported to shore.
