The service

The right material, certified, on the right barge.

Procurement sits inside most of Winsko's jobs: line pipe and fittings for new and replacement flowlines, materials for flow station refurbishments, and hoses and connectors for crude barging operations. Winsko describes itself as an engineering, procurement and logistics contractor, and buys to the client's specification, locally or abroad.

What matters on a swamp job is that the material arrives complete, certified and in time for the barge. Winsko checks each item against its specification and certificates on receipt, stores it in its warehouse on the Trans-Woji base, and loads it out at its own jetty with the rest of the spread.

Clients also use the base for their own materials: the warehouse and yard are leased for storage and staging before marine mobilisation.
