Anticipate - Communicate - Cooperate - Lead
ZPMC - RED BOX Energy Services (ZPMC-RBES) provides safe and reliable transportation
services of ultra heavy cargoes for energy infrastructure projects.
The RED BOX Founders are a group of fourteen Marine Heavy Transport professionals who
founded Red Box Energy Services after Fairstar Heavy Transport was acquired by Dockwise in
2012 through a hostile takeover.
The RED BOX Team has extensive experience in the full scope of energy logistics services and
were deeply involved in executing the Gorgon LNG, Ichthys LNG, Tombua Landana and
Golden Eagle transportation contracts as well as a wide range of floating cargoes such as
jack-up rigs, cranes and other semi-submersible cargoes.
The RED BOX Founders have extensive ship design and construction experience and were
responsible for the conversion and construction of several significant additions to the Global
Industry Fleet of semi-submersible heavy marine vessels, notably the FJORD (24,000 DWT) ,
FJELL (18,000 DWT), FORTE (50,000 DWT) and FINESSE (50,000 DWT).

Yamal LNG Liquefaction Project
The largest energy project ever attempted above the Arctic circle representing a
total investment of USD 27 billion.
Yamal LNG Plant located on Sabetta, Yamal Peninsula, Northern Russia (70 40’15’N
70 08’12’E).
Production and export of Arctic’s vast natural gas reserves from Russia to Europe and
Asia, transportation via the Northern Sea Route.
Yamal LNG is committed to the first LNG exports to Far East Asian Markets in 2017.
The Projects consists of three trains during the first phase with a total production
capacity of 16.5 Mt / year.

‘Modularization’ has become the Preferred Engineering
and Construction Technique for LNG Liquefaction Projects
One 5.5 mt ‘Liquefaction Train’ is composed of approximately 50 modules, ranging in
size from 500 tonnes to 10.000 tonnes.
Modules can be as large as: 80 meters (L) x 40 meters (W) x 30 meters (H).
Modules are fabricated for the most part in East Asia where the construction costs
are more competitive then in Europe, North America or Australia.
The Marine Transportation of large heavy modules requires Specialized Vessels and
significant engineering and project management support.
