Al Faris transported 19 vessels covering a distance of 150km for a crude-oil production facility in Abu Dhabi
This project was completed in different stages over a period of 3 months. Al Faris provided our client with a complete solution for loading these vessels from different manufacturer’s locations to Hamriyah and Jebel Ali Port. We then received these vessels at Mussafah port and land transported as well as off-loaded to our clients’ site. The transportation which was critical in nature due to close proximity to a live plant, required specialized techniques, equipment and experienced staff. All road surveys, planning, technical support documentation, authority permissions, execution plans and schedules were prepared inhouse prior to job execution. This helped organize all activities smoothly with minimum delays. Execution was safely carried out by our trained engineers and operators. After careful consideration and study of the loads, our Goldhofer hydraulic multi axle & self-propelled trailers upto 68 axle lines were used for transportation and our Liebherr 1000t, 600t and 400t crawler cranes were used for offloading purposes at various locations inside the plant. www.cbnme.com
