Forship Group Secures Contract with EuroChem
Forship Group has been awarded a significant contract for the commissioning of the second phase of the Serra do Salitre Mining-Industrial Complex, which is expected to account for 15% of Brazil’s phosphate fertilizer production by 2024. The contract, spanning 14 months, involves planning, managing, and executing the commissioning services, as well as providing support for the assisted operation of the phase-two project of this venture. Salitre Fertilizers, a subsidiary of the Swiss group EuroChem Mineral & Chemical, acquired the Serra do Salitre Mining-Industrial Complex (CMISS) in 2021. “We are committed to meeting the client’s expectations by significantly contributing to the implementation of a commissioning work methodology through the use of our management tool, HMSWeb© (Handover Management System),” states Marco A. Kronemberger, Operations Director at Forship Group. He adds that, due to the specific nature of the fertilizer plant, certain equipment will necessitate a deeper dive into engineering and manufacturer documentation to fully understand the start-up procedures, and may require involving specialist professionals in the commissioning process. Another challenge highlighted is ensuring the engagement of all stakeholders in using HMSWeb© and adhering to the commissioning plan. “To address this, we are organizing meetings and workshops to present our work methodology,” he notes. The contract with HMSWeb Information Technology, a subsidiary of Forship Group, follows the standard model for licensing and related services, including setup, training, and support of HMSWeb©. Strategic Project The Serra do Salitre Complex, which began construction in the second half of 2022, will contribute 15% of Brazil’s phosphate fertilizer production—adding 1.2 million metric tons (MMT) to the market and reducing external dependence. This project is a key part of EuroChem’s strategy to strengthen its presence in Latin America. “Strategically, this is a significant opportunity for us to showcase our commissioning solutions and to potentially engage in other EuroChem projects,” concludes Marco A. Kronemberger.
