Client: Major Petrochemical Company
Location: Korea to Jubail, Saudi Arabia
Service Provided: Turnkey Project Logistics Management
Project Overview
Transcar Projects was contracted to transport two colossal demethanizers, each measuring 80 meters in length and weighing 900,000 kg, from Korea to a petrochemical project site in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. These critical components were essential to the client's operations and required flawless execution of both sea and land transportation to ensure they arrived safely and on time.
The Challenge
The transportation of such large and heavy equipment involved significant challenges, including the coordination of in-kingdom route surveys, securing the use of a dedicated discharge berth, and managing the logistics of moving the demethanizers overland to the project site. The complexity of this project was heightened by the need to navigate Saudi Arabia's regulatory environment and infrastructure limitations.
Engineered Solution
Transcar Projects began by conducting thorough route surveys in Saudi Arabia to identify the most feasible path for transporting the demethanizers from the port to the project site. These surveys were crucial in ensuring that the equipment could be moved without encountering obstacles or causing disruptions.
The next step was securing approval for access to the dedicated discharge berth at the Saudi port, which required extensive coordination with port authorities and other stakeholders. This ensured that the demethanizers could be offloaded efficiently and without delay. Specialized hydraulic trailers were then used to transport the demethanizers to the project site. These trailers were selected for their ability to handle the immense weight and size of the equipment based on quay limitations, ensuring a safe and stable journey.
Outcome
The demethanizers were delivered to the Jubail project site without any issues, meeting the client's timeline and specifications. The successful execution of this project highlighted Transcar Projects' ability to manage complex, large-scale logistics operations in challenging environments. The client was particularly pleased with the team's meticulous planning and execution, which minimized risk and ensured a smooth delivery process.
