Transhipment News

Presidential visit
This past February, senior management had the opportunity to visit CSL Asia’s two transhipment platforms located 20 miles off the eastern coast of Kalimantan, Indonesia. After a threehour speedboat trip from Tanjung Redeb, the three presidents, Paul C ozza, CSL International, Gerry Carter, Canada Steamship Lines and Rod Jones, CSL Group, first boarded the SST Berau, which has been in service for the past 10 years. After a tour of the platform and a lunch with the Master, the team shuttled over to the recently deployed FOTP Derawan, located about a kilometre away. Both platforms were in the middle of a transhipping operation. CSL Asia expects to tranship more than seven million tons of coal this year in support of customer Berau Coal. After a great afternoon, the group took the speedboat back to shore. The return trip was a little “bumpier” with a storm passing through the location, but all made it ashore safe and sound. Special thanks go to Jakob Hansen, CSL Asia’s Managing Director in Singapore, and Alain Larocque, Technical Operations Manager, for keeping everyone on schedule.
