In a joint venture, we designed and constructed the marine facilities to cater to the world’s largest bulk carrier, the ValeMax.
The marine facilities are part of Vale's Malaysia Manufacturing Project (VMMP), an iron ore distribution centre located in Teluk Rubiah, Perak State, Malaysia near the Malacca Strait. It comprises a pelletizing plant, stockpiles, and a jetty for the import and export of iron ore with sufficient depth to accommodate ships of 400,000 DWT.
The berthing facilities are for the 400,000 DWT VLOC (also known as ValeMax. Approx. Length 360 m x Width 65 m, Draft: 24 m).
The berths are located 2 km offshore and were constructed in 25 m of water. The access trestle measures 2,200 m long and the operational jetty head is 800 m long.
The jetty is capable of handling up to 30 million metric tonnes of iron ore annually, with an option to expand facilities to 90 million metric tonnes per year in the future.
This project is facilitating the distribution of Brazilian iron ore to the world, strategically located to facilitate markets in the Asian region, simultaneously boosting the local economy of Malaysia.
We completed the safely and on schedule.
