Dockwise executes the logistical management of 18 onshore modules for Koniambo Nickel Project in New Caledonia

Dockwise will execute the transportation of 18 onshore modules including an extended engineering and associated services scope from China to New Caledonia. This logistical management contract was awarded by Hatch-Technip on behalf of Koniambo Nickel SAS, a joint venture owned by Xstrata Nickel and Societe Miniere du Sud Pacifique ("SMSP"). Hatch-Technip, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has been appointed as main contractor.

The transportation of the modules is scheduled for mid 2010 and will be performed as multiple consecutive voyages by the Dockwise vessels.

The modules, fabricated in China, will be loaded at the yard of CNOOC's construction company COOEC at Qingdao, China. The modules will be offloaded in Vavouto, New Caledonia. The contract is one of the company's first large extended scope onshore industrial contracts. Presence in this market segment is one of the prime strategic objectives of Dockwise.

The planned smelter will have an annual production capacity of 60,000 tonnes of ferrous nickel alloy.
