The year 2022 was one of strong performances for Wagenborg and for all business segments. Amid volatile market conditions – the Russian invasion in Ukraine had a significant impact on the world in terms of geopolitics and energy – our business performed well overall, achieving record volumes and providing a vital service to our customers in the face of significant supply chain disruptions. As we move into 2023 and are confident to continue this positive vibe, here is a look back on some stories that moved our company last year.
On the 8th of September the LNG tanker ‘Murex’ arrived in Eemshaven under agency of Wagenborg. Assisted by multiple tugs - including the Wagenborg tugs Waterlines, Waterstraat and Waterstroom – the first LNG tanker moored successfully at the Wagenborg terminal with the assistance of the Wagenborg tug boats.
On Sunday, September 4, the Floating Storage Regassification Unit (FSRU) ‘Golar Igloo’ arrived in the Eemshaven under the agency of Wagenborg at the end of the afternoon. This floating LNG facility receives port assistance of multiple ASD tug boats including the ‘Waterlines’, ‘Waterstraat’ and ‘Waterstroom’. ‘Golar Igloo’ was moored safely in the Wilhelminahaven.
Wagenborg Towage has acquired a 80-tonnes bollard pull ASD 3280 Tug. With this new tug, Wagenborg strengthens her position in the towage market in the Eemshaven and Ems region.
Recently, Exmar's FRSU 'EEMSHAVEN LNG' arrived in the Port of Rotterdam after a long trip from Singapore. Under control of Wagenborg Agencies the massive float-off started on 19th of June and after 18 hrs. operation time the FSRU finally berthed safely at a shipyard.
After 10 weeks of outfitting and commissioning at the Wagenborg terminal, the cruise ship 'Disney Wish' left Eemshaven. During this period, Wagenborg's shipping agents have done a lot of work.
Based on a long term contract with NKT, Wagenborg started the mobilization project of a cable laying barge in Eemshaven. This project includes the full logistic scope of the mobilization.
