Salzgitter (euro adhoc) - EUROPIPE GmbH, a joint venture of Salzgitter
Mannesmann GmbH and Aktien-Gesellschaft der Dillinger Hüttenwerke, has
successfully extended its reach to Australia and will again be delivering the
main part (410 kt; the equivalent to 60%) of a major offshore project. The
Ichthys LNG Project (liquefied natural gas) is to transport natural gas from the
Ichthys Field to Darwin via an 889 km subsea pipeline. The gas will be liquefied
in one of the world´s largest LNG facil-ities and shipped mainly to Japan.
The project stands not only for sustainable economic benefits in Australia but
also for a long-term, stable supply of cleaner energy which is to help Japan
diversify its energy sources.
The production will run from April 2012 until February 2013 in the EUROPIPE
Group´s large-diameter pipe mill located in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany. The
order secures a significant part of the mill´s production capacity during this
period.
