deugro Executes Complex Move in Dubai (video)


Forwarder Deploys Tugboat and Cranes to Handle Oversized Metering Skid



deugro has successfully masterminded a complex maritime operation to transport an oversized metering skid from Jebel Ali Free Zone to Drydocks World in Dubai.

The metering skid – a huge steel-framed system of instruments designed to measure and evaluate oil and gas flow – was too bulky to be carried overland, deugro said. To address this challenge, the project forwarder opted to ship the unit using an anchor handling tugboat.

The skid was transported by water and eventually offloaded at the Drydocks World marine and offshore services facility by means of a floating crane. A tandem-lift operation using 800-ton and 700-ton cranes supplied by Al Faris was deployed to ensure the component was handled safely and efficiently.

“With our team's expertise and unwavering commitment to safety, this daring feat was accomplished seamlessly and on time,” deugro said.
