Client: State-Owned Gas Company

Service Provided: Turnkey Project Logistics Management
Project Overview
Transcar Projects, in collaboration with its Japanese partners, was tasked with executing a 600,000 Freight Ton (Frt) logistics operation for a state-owned gas company in Qatar. The project involved the shipment of numerous full and part charter vessels from various global locations to the Ras Laffan Industrial Complex, one of the world’s largest natural gas production facilities.
The Challenge
The Barzan Gas Project was fast-tracked, meaning that any delays in shipping or handling could have significant financial and operational consequences. The challenge was to ensure that all vessels arrived at Ras Laffan without incurring waiting time at anchor, which required precise scheduling and coordination across multiple time zones and ports.
Engineered Solution
Transcar Projects developed a comprehensive logistics plan that accounted for the fast-tracked nature of the project. This included the careful selection of vessels, precise scheduling of departures and arrivals, and close coordination with port authorities in Ras Laffan to secure berthing slots upon arrival.
The team also implemented a robust tracking system to monitor the progress of each shipment in real-time. This system allowed for immediate adjustments to the logistics plan if any unforeseen issues arose, ensuring that the project remained on schedule.
Furthermore, Transcar's expertise in managing large-scale projects ensured that all method statements were carefully engineered and approved before execution. These statements covered everything from loading and unloading procedures to the specific requirements for each piece of equipment being shipped.
Outcome
The Barzan Gas Project logistics contract was completed on time and within budget, with all shipments arriving at Ras Laffan without any claims for vessel delay or damage. The client was highly satisfied with the teams ability to manage the complexities of the project, particularly the coordination required to avoid costly delays. This successful project execution further established Transcar Projects as a reliable partner for large-scale industrial logistics in the energy sector.
