CEA Assist in Thai Military Community Project CEA Project Logistics are over 15 years old and are experts in project cargo and heavy lift. They are active PCN members in Thailand & Myanmar and they show the same activism in their local communities as demonstrated by this worthwhile project located in Kanchanaburi Province (Thailand) which they have recently taken part in. The project was to restore a C-123 Fairchild 'Provider' transport aircraft that served in the Vietnam War. The aircraft is kept at the 'Royal Thai Army Vietnam Veterans Museum' in Kanchanaburi and CEA were joined by a number of local businesses and ex-pats to help complete the task in just 4 days.

Earl Brown (Marketing & Communications Manager) explains; "CEA sent a team on the Friday morning along with a Hiab truck and a generator to help aid the project which actually became instrumental in the success of the operation. The number of willing hands soon grew with members of the DSL and Defence International Security Services pitching in alongside even more CEA staff arriving on the Saturday. Mick Newbatt of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission was the foreman for the weekend and had only to give minimal guidance to the teams who, with brush in hand, set about painting the old bird! By Monday, the project was complete with the final decals applied to give it that finishing touch. The plane, now restored to its former glory, will be used for a Vietnam War veteran’s reunion to be held this month (December 2014). However, the painting teams are already looking to the next community project for the new year as the original museum suffered some water damage two years ago and is still yet to be repaired - so watch this space!"

CEA Racing Team Win the 2014 Pro Racing Team Championship CEA Project Logistics (PCN member in Thailand & Myanmar) report that their racing team, CEA Racing, have won the 2014 Pro Racing Team Championship in style at the Chang International Circuit, Buriram, Thailand. Earl Brown (Marketing & Communications Manager) describes the action; "The CEA driver, Thomas Raldorf from Denmark, drove in the #29 car and started the first race in 2nd place on the grid. As the lights went, he stormed into the first corner and by the second, had already built up a significant lead. From then on it was a fairly straightforward race as the chasing pack could do nothing to stop Thomas's charge to the finish line. As Thomas achieved the fastest lap of 2:06.1 in race one, he was in pole position for race two. However, the race didn't pan out as smoothly as the first. Once again, he made a blistering start but some wayward driving from the following pack caused him to run wide twice, allowing other drivers to get in front. As the laps counted down, Thomas battled his way back into contention and crossed the line in 4th place. This disappointment was soon washed away though as the news that CEA Racing had won the Team Championship filled the paddock. As well as this, Thomas had also consolidated 2nd place in the Drivers’ Championship, which, added to the S1R Championship that CEA won earlier in the year, cap a great season for the team! Our thoughts now turn to planning and preparation for 2015".

CEA Racing Team Win Dramatic Competition CEA Project Logistics (PCN member representing Thailand & Myanmar, specialising in industrial project cargo) sponsor their own racing team: CEA Racing. The team (pictured below) enjoyed a dramatic and fairy-tale ending to their last competition.

The CEA Racing Team came from last position on the grid to excitingly win first place in the 1,500cc class at the True Visions Bobby Hunter Super One race taking place at the Chang International Circuit in Thailand. The CEA driver, Thomas Raldorf from Denmark started racing at just 10 years old and is a former Thailand and Denmark go-karting champion. He succeeded in overcoming adversity and misfortune to snatch the important victory. A broken gear box during the qualifying stage meant they were forced to forfeit their slot and started the first race at the back of the grid in 25th place as shown below.

With a mix of incredibly skilful driving and sheer determination from Thomas, CEA Racing powered through the 6-lap race as photographed below. At the end of the first lap, Thomas had moved an amazing 13 places and by the end of third lap, he was in 3rd place. However, CEA Racing were unable to reach the 1st and 2nd placed cars in the remaining 2 laps and finished the first race in 3rd place. An excellent achievement made all the better when it was announced that Thomas had secured the fastest lap of the day meaning extra bonus points were added to the CEA Team tally. A dashboard video of the first race can be watched at the bottom of this article. This total put Thomas starting in pole position on the grid for the final race.

From the very beginning, Thomas remained safely in 1st place for the entire final race with none of the other drivers threatening the win at any point. From starting in the worst place in round one, CEA took the final victory. The CEA Racing team were delighted with the win and stated it was made all the sweeter due to the difficulties faced and gaining pole position for the final race due to the fastest lap - drama with a fairy tale ending! As he crossed the finish line, Thomas held his hand out of the window in celebration:

To celebrate this milestone, a networking event was held at the newly refurbished Club 5 situated underneath the Park Royal Hotel in Yangon. CEA Project Logistics Myanmar co-sponsored the professional yet fun event with the Park Royal. Earl Brown (Marketing & Communications Manager at CEA) states; "Although the start time was stated for 6pm, the huge anticipation for this event meant that guests arrived as early as possible to ensure they would not miss out. As the guests entered Club 5 they were met by the very attentive Park Royal staff presenting a selection of free flowing drinks and exquisite canapés. By 6:30, 120 business professionals had passed through the doors and were enjoying the food and beverages while Club 5's very own Latino band kept the guests entertained with a lively set list. Judy Benn, the Executive Director of AMCHAM, began proceedings by giving thanks to attendees, organisers and sponsors before presenting Proctor & Gamble with their 100th member certification. John Hamilton (the Country Manager at CEA Myanmar) also took to the microphone to reiterate Judy’s thanks and added 'This is a first for Myanmar to have such a high quality networking evening, and you have all been part of it, we hope to also see you all at the next event!' As the evening continued, Park Royal kindly provided several promotional prizes including food & beverage vouchers for various first class restaurants, much to the delight of the crowd. The party went on late into the night and the feedback was nothing but positive. The event was a resounding success for Yangon as a whole, as nothing like this had been done before in the city. CEA Project Logistics would like to thank Judy Benn & Arkar Kyaw at AMCHAM and Ram Nurani, Hermann Fiegl & Thida Aye at the Park Royal Hotel as well as all the staff and volunteers who made the fantastic event possible."

On Nights with CEA Myanmar Our PCN representative for Myanmar, CEA Project Logistics, have told us they are now operating three warehouses 24 hours a day to meet the demand for their new telecommunications contracts. CEA will facilitate the implementation of 4,800 telecommunications towers within the next three years with the promise of a further 500, this is no mean feat when you take into consideration that Myanmar intends to install 17,000 towers throughout the country. This equates to CEA Myanmar having more than a 28% share of the towers. Each tower comprises of 4-5 different sections, and weigh from 9-15 tonnes, with the highest configuration being 57m in height. To keep up with demand, all three warehouses will work 24 hours a day with two separate shifts. The Thilawar warehouse, which is located in the Special Thilawar Economic Zone, outside of Yangon, operates 7 days a week and receives cargo from the local MITT port throughout both shifts. The scope of the project at Thilawar is Cargo Receiving, Cargo Inventory, Cargo Consolidation, Dispatch and Transportation. As the demand is so high, CEA Myanmar currently have over 100 trucks, with flatbed trailers, delivering the towers countrywide day and night.

CEA Dive into Catamaran Project CEA recently launched the dive catamaran Calypso Blue in Chonburi Thailand. After successful sea trials, the boat sailed to Sri Racha Port, where, upon arrival, CEA were then employed to lift the boat from the water and on to a waiting cargo ship. After the Catamaran was secured aboard, the ship set sail for Australia. CEA provided much of the needed logistics, including: Modular Bars, Slings, Shackles and two divers. The CEA lift team arrived at the harbour just after sunrise to begin the project. Eight metre modular spreader bars were assembled and slings attached. The slings were lowered into the water, with two specialist divers fastening the slings together and adding a retaining sling. After this, tag lines were attached to the Catamaran, allowing the CEA team to manoeuvre her into position, inside the sling configuration. A trial lift was performed to ascertain the Catamaran was in the correct position within the slings. After a successful trial lift the boat was lifted and placed on to specialised stools on the ship’s deck. Lastly, the CEA rigging team lashed down the Catamaran, readying her for the successful journey to Australia.

CEA Cleans Up On ICHTHYS Quarantine Project CEA took on the challenging project of transporting a cargo, consisting of modules and steel gas spools. This included the application of full quarantine procedures - in accordance with DAFF (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry) regulations - preparing the cargo for shipping to Darwin, Australia. The parts were destined for the Ichthys LNG Project, where they will be used in the construction of a new Gas Processing Plant. The Ichthys LNG Project is a Joint Venture between the INPEX group of companies, major partner TOTAL group, and the Australian subsidiaries of Tokyo Gas, Osaka Gas, Chubu Electric Power and Toho Gas. The cargo was received, recorded and placed into CEA’s quarantine compliance area, at their cargo consolidation facility in Laem, Chabang; which was cleaned and prepared to receive the cargo, beforehand. Even the containers, to be used for shipping, were cleaned, inspected and recorded. Cislin 25 was administered throughout, rat bait boxes and salt traps surrounding the compliance area were also replenished. After this process, all cargo was then cleaned with pressure washers and detergent, before being placed on concrete blocks inside the quarantine area, to alleviate any new contamination. A further application of Cislin 25 was then applied to the outer surfaces of the cargo. Next up, each container was cleaned again, using the same process. More Cislin 25 was applied to the inside of each container to eradicate any remaining insects; with the containers being placed in a separate quarantine area. Added to this cleaning process, CEA also fabricated several packing frames, from timber, that had been treated and fumigated to kill any insects. These frames ensured the safe transit of the cargo, en route. The modules and gas spools were placed into the containers, being secured in place with Cordex strapping. For added security, chocks were installed, on all four sides of the cargo. This prevented any acceleration or braking forces causing possible damage, during transit. Lastly, fumigation, through the use of Bug Bombs was applied to each container, with the containers being sealed - including their appropriate shipping tags. They were then, finally, readied for transportation.

A CEA 220 Ton crane moved into position alongside the barge. Counterweights for the crane were installed. CEA operatives removed the hook block and unfastened the bridle section from the main boom. The crawler cranes 10 counter weights were lifted and removed one at a time and placed on three CEA flatbed trailers. The next crane section removed was the counter weight holder this was loaded on to a CEA low loader. The CEA crane was moved further along the barge to lift the main boom. The main boom comprised of five sections, 4 insert booms and 1 boom top. Lifting slings were secured in four key lift points to compensate for the heavy boom top section. The crane lifted the complete boom and lowered it on to the port below. CEA operatives removed the boom pins and dismantled the boom into 5 sections. The boom top was secured in place on a low loader trailer, each of the 4 insert booms were placed and secured on separate flatbed trailers. The CEA crane was once again moved to facilitate the demobilisation, both tracks on the crawler section were unpinned and lifted on to a low loader trailer and secured in place. Walkways attached to the crawler section were removed and secured on a flatbed truck. The only remaining section on the barge was the Crane Base with Boom Base attached. Operatives retracted and lowered the main bridle section and slings were attached to the lift points. The CEA crane lifted the Base & Boom on to the port floor below. The cranes operative then retracted all supports and lowered the Boom Base ready for transportation. The Crane base section was lifted on to a CEA low loader trailer and secured in place.

The Expansion of CEA Projects Continues The PCN Head Office is pleased to announce CEA Projects Co Ltd have successfully completed our application procedure to become official representatives in Myanmar. The company are already well-known to our membership as they have also been PCN representatives in Thailand since March 2013. CEA employ 40+ staff in Myanmar and have offices in Yangon and Kyauk Tan making them ideally placed to handle all logistic requirements and solutions. They list their main services as oil & gas, mining, heavy equipment, cross-border transport, river transport, craning, project cargo & heavy-lift, transportation, warehousing and customs clearance. Kevin Fisher (CEO at CEA) has worked in Myanmar since 1997 and noticed a gap in the market for a reliable logistics service provider in the country. However due to the political unrest in the coming years, Kevin delayed the plans until a more suitable opportunity. The democratic reforms that began in 2011 opened up Myanmar to new possibilities and it was during a visit in early 2012 that Kevin decided the time was right to invest in Myanmar.CEA soon acquired 10,000m2 of warehouse & office space in the Thilawar commercial port (Kyauk Tan) & in Yangon and CEA Projects Co Ltd (Myanmar) was officially established in January 2013. Kevin states; "We have been very successful in our branding campaign of the company and we will mirror our business model in every aspect from Thailand to Myanmar. We are strategically well poised for the eagerly awaited explosion of business in this new marketplace." CEA recruited John Hamilton to become the Myanmar Country Manager Myanmar a year ago and John states; "After a year of learning how the market operates and the way customs, import permits and the government works, we feel 2014 will produce steady and continuous growth. Furthermore CEA’s aim is to provide high quality turnkey solutions in logistics for international companies entering the Myanmar market. Our plan is to grow from a solid foundation by building a reputation of being reliable, candid and giving our clients peace of mind that their cargo will be delivered on time and in perfect condition. CEA have recently secured a new contract with a large international telecommunications company. We will provide full turnkey services over the next 2 years for the installation of new telecoms towers including customs clearance, transport, warehousing and distribution for over 4500 towers which are to be shipped into Myanmar. CEA are operating 24/7 to ensure the towers are transported to their destinations all across Myanmar quickly and safely. We are hoping to capitalize on the success of this project by signing up more telecoms service providers for full turnkey services in the coming months as the Myanmar mobile telecoms expansion is now gathering pace. Myanmar is one of the few untapped markets in the world and CEA sees a bright future with continued growth in this developing economy."

CEA Project Receive Official Certification for Jumbo Waste Bags CEA Project Logistics recently received official certification from the Thailand Institute of Scientific and Technological Research and further approval from the Marine department for their Jumbo Waste bags. These bags have now been recognized by the United Nations and registered with an official UN number. Mr Earl Brown, Business Unit Manager at CEA Projects explains; "CEA started producing Jumbo Waste Bags in early 2012 after noticing a gap in the Asian market for servicing the oil and gas sector. The bags are used to collect the waste by-products from off shore drilling which can contain many heavy metals (mercury, lead, cadmium, zinc, chromium, copper, and others) that come from components of both drilling fluids and drilling cuttings. The bags have a safe load weight of two metric ton and are lined with an inner Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) bag which ensures that if any tears occur to the outer bag the contents will still remain sealed in the inner bag. The bags are produced at their Laem Chabang facility situated on Thailand’s eastern seaboard. CEA’s client list includes Chevron and PTT Exploration and Production (PTTEP). Such is the demand for these bags that the CEA plastics team are now working at maximum output."

CEA Projects Work 24 Hours A Day to Meet Deadline CEA Projects (Cranes and Equipment Asia Co Ltd) who joined the PCN Network in March 2013 representing Thailand, recently completed a complex and potentially difficult project in Bangkok. Mr Earl Brown, Business Unit Manager at CEA Projects explains; "The project involved the un-stuffing of 60 containers each holding two waste compactor units which were to be stored at a designated lay down area. The units had arrived from Shanghai China and were to be used by the BMA (Bangkok Metropolitan Administration). CEA carried out methodology studies and ascertained that the project would require two teams of 6 working 24 hours to meet the three day deadline. As Bangkok has transit restrictions for the transport of containers from 10am – 3pm and with the continuing demonstrations, timing and efficiency were key to a successful execution. The day shift team arrived early in the afternoon to begin mobilization, the first convoy of containers arrived soon after and assembled in the parking area. The first container was moved into position and opened, a CEA Manitou Telehandler placed its forks under the first compactor and slowly reversed until 2/3rds of the compactor were exposed. A CEA 14 ton forklift then positioned itself at the side of the compactor and raised its forks to take the weight, the Telehandler and container truck then withdrew from the area allowing the forklift to transport the compactor across the yard to the designated laydown area. The night shift team arrived at 6pm and continued the process throughout the night, as the hours passed by, the teams increased their efficiency resulting in completion of the project in 2.5 days much to the delight of the client."

CEA Move 5,200 Tons of Factory Parts for Nissan CEA Project Logistics recently executed a project for the Nissan Motor Company which involved the transportation of factory parts which totaled 5,200 tons. Mr Earl Brown, Business Unit Manager at CEA Projects explains; "The factory parts arrived by ship at Laem Chabang Port and were unloaded by the vessel onto the dock below. Two CEA 50 ton cranes were then used to lift the parts on to three different types of trailer Flatbed, Lowbed and Multi Axle, this was due to the cargo being oversized and varying in weight. All cargo was secured with ratchet straps and transported to the CEA yard in Laem Chabang for two weeks storage until delivery date. Upon delivery date the same configuration of trailers made the 82km journey to the Nissan facility in Samut Prakan. As these parts were oversized cargo CEA employed the services of the local Highway Police for a full escort to ensure the safety of all road users."

CEA Project Transport Of Royal Thai Navy Helicopter Cranes & Equipment Asia Co., Ltd (CEA Projects), a PCN representative in Thailand, were privileged and honored to assist the Royal Thai Navy on a recent project that involved transporting a USD 7 million Sikorsky SH-60 Seahawk helicopter. The Seahawk was to be moved from its base at Utapao Airport in Rayong province to one of CEA’s facilities in Laem Chabang, there it would be processed ready for shipment to Australia where it would undergo a full refit. Mr Earl Brown, Business Unit Manager at CEA Projects explains; "The CEA team arrived early in the morning at Utapao airport home to Seahawk Squadron 302 and began the operation, as Utapao is an active military naval base the team had a window of just 2.5 hours to complete the first stage of the project. First the Seahawk’s main rotor blades were carefully packed into a military cargo crate while the tail rotor blades were placed in a CEA custom made crate and surrounded by rubber to ensure no damage would occur during transportation. These crates were then lifted on to a CEA flatbed truck and strapped securely. A 25 ton crane was used with Modulift spreader bars to lift the valuable cargo on to a CEA Air Ride trailer, it was then carefully lashed and strapped and covered with a tarpaulin to ensure extra protection and security for the 60km journey to the CEA facility in Laem Chabang. Upon arrival at Laem Chabang the Seahawk was uncovered and all straps and lashes were removed allowing it to be lifted from the Air Ride trailer by use of a CEA Reach Stacker and placed on a 40 foot flat rack, this flat rack was modified by CEA to accommodate the Seahawks landing gear. Once again it was strapped, lashed and covered in readiness for the short journey to port. The Seahawk’s rotor blades and other accessories were packed into a 40 foot container and secured in place with lashing straps. After the container was sealed cleaning and fumigation in accordance with Australian DAFF (Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry) requirements was applied. The cargo was then safely transported and loaded onto the vessel bound for Australia."

CEA Projects Successful Catamaran Launch The PCN Head Office is always delighted to report on our Members latest activities, CEA Projects (Cranes and Equipment Asia Co Ltd) who joined the PCN Network in March 2013 representing Thailand, have recently launched another Catamaran, which is fast becoming their speciliality. This was a potentially difficult project which involved three separate lifts. Mr Earl Brown, Area Manager at CEA Projects explains; "Five days before launch date, CEA had visited the boat yard to formulate strategies with the boat builders which would ensure a safe and efficient execution. After several measurements had been taken it became apparent that upon departure from the yard the boat would not pass safely through the main gate, after inspection of the gate and the immediate fencing it was agreed that the best possible solution was to lift the boat over the fence onto the road below. A beautiful clear day greeted the CEA team as they arrived at the boat yard in Rayong province. The team quickly got to work positioning two 50 ton cranes either side of the boat and assembling the Modulift spreader bars with the necessary slings. The first lift involved lifting the boat off its cradle and placing it gently onto four support stands, while the boat was in lift the cradle was pushed out to allow room for the CEA multi axle hydraulic trailer. The trailer was carefully reversed under the boat, chocks and rubber mats were placed under the agreed load points to ensure optimum weight distribution during transportation. The trailer made the very short journey across the boat yard and placed perpendicular to the fence. The second lift began by raising the boat off the trailer, the trailer then moved out of the yard and positioned itself on the road ready for the next stage. The cranes working in tandem turned the boat until it was parallel with the fence then slowly moved it over the fence and lowered it for a second time on to the four support stands. The trailer reversed underneath the boat and the previous process was applied once again, the boat was then strapped and secured ready for the 30km journey to the marina. As this was an abnormally wide and high value load CEA employed the services of the local Highway Police to escort the convoy ensuring the safety of all road users. On arrival at the marina the cranes assumed their position for the third and final lift, as the boat made its way down the main thoroughfare a crowd had gathered to celebrate in its launch. The boat was placed in position and just as the Siam sun began to set the final lift began. The boat was lifted up and across the marina barriers and slowly lowered into the water below, as the boat touched the water for the very first time cheers rang out from the gathering crowd, a few nervous moments followed as builders, designers and more importantly the owner of the boat waited to see if she floated!! CEA are happy to say that the boat sat perfectly in the water and all involved were relieved and very happy with the outcome. The CEA team then unhooked all straps and carefully retracted them from the water to be packed away. All in all another great project executed professionally."

CEA Support Childrens Day 2014 Cranes & Equipment Asia Co., Ltd (CEA Projects), a PCN representative in Thailand, are delighted to share news of their support of a charity event at a local school. Earl Brown, Business Unit Manager at CEA Projects explains; "Corporate Social Responsibility or CSR activities are of paramount importance within Cranes & Equipment Asia Co., Ltd (CEA Projects). Since the company’s inception in 2000 CEA has consistently invested in giving back to the community that surrounds it and Children’s Day 2014 was another great opportunity to do so. A member of the CEA team had brought it to the attention of the company’s executives that a local school was holding Children’s Day on Thursday 9th of January and asked if they could support. The decision was unanimously approved very quickly and CEA agreed it would give five lucky children a one year scholarship and give away stationery sets and ice cream on the day of the event. The School ‘Wat Mai Nern Payom’ is located just two minutes’ drive form CEA Headquarters in Ban Ao Udom, Si Racha and houses over 500 children, it is an integral part of the Ban Ao-Udom community. A team of CEA volunteers led by QC Manager Khun Krittapas were in attendance to supply free ice cream to all the children, and as it was a particularly a hot day and kids being kids this soon became the most popular attraction. After the traditional Thai dancing CEA Yard Manager David Johnson presented one year scholarships to the five lucky children, this was met with rapturous applause by fellow pupils and parents alike, the children then partied on well into the afternoon full of energy thanks to CEA’s ice cream."

CEA Projects Make History With Catamaran Launch CEA Projects (Cranes and Equipment Asia Co Ltd) who joined the PCN Network in March 2013 representing Thailand, made history when the company was commissioned to launch the ground breaking Heilotrope 80 Catamaran. Mr Earl Brown, Business Unit Manager at CEA Projects, explains; "The Heliotrope’s architecture is the result of a project brief of comfort and security. As one of the very few mixed energy watercrafts, Heliotrope can produce up to 7 kilowatts of solar energy. The latest of the series, the 80ft mixed energy catamaran (solar and diesel) is a bigger version of the existing Heliotropes designed, even the paintwork on the Heliotrope is unique as the gold colour was a special mix created by the boat builders and can now be purchased as Heliotrope Gold! The role of CEA was to transport the catamaran from her building yard to the beach and successfully float her in an efficient, safe and timely manner, as this was to be a beach launch CEA had to survey the local beach for the optimum position for launch, after this had been ascertained CEA proceeded to excavate the beach moving several tonnes of sand to create a temporary slipway upon which steel plates were placed to allow their heavy lift vehicle to maneuver safely. After the beach had been prepared the CEA team would have to wait until the next day to launch her as the whole project was planned and determined by the local tide levels. On the day of the launch a CEA specialized heavy lift, 10 axle hydraulic trailer was carefully maneuvered into position below the catamaran, with expert precision the trailer was hydraulically raised to take the full weight, after all support beams and blocks had been removed the trailer and its cargo made the short half mile trip to its launch site. Upon arrival at the beach the trailer was slowly reversed down the slipway and placed in the shallow water awaiting the tide to rise and naturally float the Catamaran. CEA were lucky enough to meet the new owners who congratulated them on an excellent execution of a complex project. CEA Project Logistics would like to thank all the team at Ocean Marina Yacht Club for their time and assistance in this project. Please Note: CEA returned the beach to its original state without any environmental impact following the successful launch."

Mr Michael Parham, the Business Development Manager at CEA Projects, explains; "CEA Project Logistics has become very well known as the company to call when it comes to launching Catamarans on the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand. Recently CEA launched a USD 2 Million Dollar Luxury 32 ton CAT using their 10 axle line hydraulic trailer and 2 x 65t mobile cranes. Fortunately, CEA had plenty of Modulift Spreader Bars and soft slings on hand to carry out the lift safely. A smaller vessel known as the Gecko was launched a few weeks later and there are now 2 other CATs that will be launched before the New Year."
