SEPC Cracker Expansion Project: Vantage Logistics On-Time Third Shipment of Large-Scale Chemical Tanks Timely Delivery Despite Prolonged Heatwave in Southern Vietnam

In June 2025, amid extreme weather conditions in Southern Vietnam, Vantage continued to demonstrate its expertise in transporting oversized and heavy cargo by completing the third shipment consisting of large special chemical tanks for the Saudi Ethylene and Polyethylene Company (SEPC) cracker expansion project at the Al-Jubail petrochemical complex, Saudi Arabia.

This expansion project is one of the Middle East’s key petrochemical developments, with a total investment of approximately USD 500 million. It aims to increase ethylene production capacity by 18% using advanced Short Residence Time (SRT) cracking technology, which optimizes efficiency, saves energy, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
