DISPATCH DAY!

This ripping vessel is off to WA. Weighing in at 35T, 18m high and 2.9m diameter, it was a big effort by all involved to get the vessel en route to its final destination. External insulation and cladding on half of the vessel along with internal painting.

We look forward to seeing this spray cooler getting put through its paces!
