Semi-subs & Jack-ups

The CargoMaxx Drilling B.V. Drill Cuttings solutions consist of complementary equipment, focused on distributing, storing, circulating and discharging a wide range of Drill Cuttings in a controlled way within a fully enclosed pipe system on drilling units.

CargoMaxx Drilling philosophy:

As the appearance of Drill Cuttings is unpredictable and well-dependant and varying from dry and sticky clay-like to wet and slurry-like, it requires a very robust pump system as base case for success.

We apply our experience from the concrete industry by using a high pressure piston pump.
The cuttings will be stored under deck in silos. No skips handling required any more.

The CargoMaxx advantages:

Simple, safe and reliable pumping through a pipe or hose
100% closed circuit
Proven technology
Safer storage
High discharge rate (75m3 per hour)
No crane handling
Lower centre of gravity while freeing up valuable deck space

We apply our experience from the cement carrier industry by using a vacuum-pressure system with re-loaders.

The CargoMaxx advantages:
