Eight fully assembled marine loading arms sea freighted to the port of Houston by Buckeye and Kanon

“Sea freighting eight fully assembled marine loading arms to the port of Houston at the early stages of the Covid-19 crisis, was quite a challenge,” said Kanon Loading Equipment BV on its social media channels. It was describing the fact that Buckeye Partners LP and Kanon teamed up recently to transport a huge cargo to the port of Houston.

Kanon said: “Now they are standing tall due to the long and reliable cooperation and partnership between Buckeye and Kanon.”

From Houston, the arms were transported by truck to the South Texas Gateway Terminal facility near Corpus Christi. It added: “This smooth collaboration assured that small adjustments could easily be executed.”

Describing the achievement, Kanon said: “The experienced Kanon service department and the well trained and intelligent Buckeye crew, managed to proceed with erecting the first two arms together. The remaining six could be installed without any need for further Kanon supervision.”
