PROJECTS
We strive to give our Clients peace of mind by offering dependable solutions for their transportation projects
CFE Transformer
Deck-barge transport of a 270-metric-ton transformer, essential for CFE operations, from Altamira to the shallow-draft port of Tuxpan. We selected a shallow-draft barge/tug combination, timed transits to tidal windows, and managed permits and port formalities to ensure a controlled discharge at destination.
Tren Maya — Aggregates Logistics
Maritime transport of 2.4 million metric tons of aggregates from the Port of Veracruz and Balzapote to Seybaplaya and Progreso, using a mix of bulk carriers and deck barges. Our scope included ship-to-barge lightering operations at Seybaplaya, ensuring continuous discharge streams and berth efficiency. Armamex served as a trusted provider to the project, aligning vessels, schedules, and terminal hand-offs to keep volumes moving.
Dos Bocas Refinery
We are proud to have contributed to Mexico’s OLMECA refinery in Dos Bocas. Our role was to provide the tugs, deck barges, and related equipment to transport multiple oversized pieces—assisting with logistics planning and authority interface. We also supported roll-in/roll-out loading operations and assisted the project team during transfers between yard, terminal, and barge operations.
PEMEX Dehydration & Desalting System
Maritime transport of multiple units for the crude-oil dehydration and desalting system at Pemex's Akal-J1 platform in Campeche Bay.
We provided the deck barges and tugs required to transport the cargo from Texas and shallow-draft locations in Louisiana directly to the platform area. Scope included sea-fastening design, lashing and loading, and securing vessel acceptance by PEMEX, with permits and agency formalities handled for platform access.
Cantarell Nitrogen Plant
Maritime logistics in support of constructing the Cantarell Nitrogen Plant in Atasta, Campeche. Project cargo arrived by vessel to Coatzacoalcos, was directly discharged to deck barges, and transported to Nuevo Campechito, where discharge took place at a purpose-built dock for the project. Two major constraints—5-ft river draft at the entrance and overhead power lines limiting air draft—were addressed by timing transits to tidal windows and coordinating scheduled power cuts with the authorities.
Madero Refinery
Transport of four carbon coke drums, 278metric tons each, and a 200-metric-ton vacuum tower from Altamira to Madero. Given the cargo dimensions, only a few kilometers could be done by road, making marine logistics and specialized Armamex equipment critical. The operation was executed aboard MV Popocatépetl II with support from our local tug fleet.
Minatitlan Refinery
Transportation of an HDT reactor weighing 1,203 metric tons and measuring 38.53 × 8.90 × 6.16 m. The transit under the Coatzacoalcos bridge required precise air-draft control because the lift mechanism was out of service and clearance was limited, compounded by strong river currents. At destination, a dock-height difference was solved with a custom steel ramp fabricated at the Tampico yard, enabling a controlled discharge from the deck barge.
Single Point Mooring (SPM) Transfer
Transportation of an SPM buoy from Salina Cruz, Oaxaca (Pacific) to Tuxpan, Veracruz, for PEMEX, via the Panama Canal for repair. With no cranes at origin, we prepared a semi-submersible barge at the Armamex yard to enable safe float-on/float-off loading and discharge. Armamex handled the end-to-end execution—cargo preparation, loading, canal transit, and delivery—providing a safe, cost-effective solution.
