Another milestone achievement for the Port of Duqm in heavy lift cargo operation.

SAL Heavy Lift vessel M.V.Anne Sofie carrying over-dimensional shipments for the flagship Duqm Refinery project was received at the Port of Duqm.

The vessel had on board Air coolers and accessories as part of the EPC 1 package whose lead contractor is the Spanish based Company Technicas Reunidas.

The highlight of the shipment is the discharge of one single Heavy Lift piece weighing almost 800 metric tons and measuring 73m in length, a width of 12.6m and a height of 13m. Mammoet, a global market leader in heavy lift transportation, will take care of the safe pickup and delivery to Duqm Refinery.

This is the second such heavy lift cargo in the recent times. Two months back, the Port received 9 massive LPG storage tanks for the same project, each of them weighing around 780MT.

The Port of Duqm is proud to facilitate the construction of this key anchor project for the Duqm development and continuously prove its readiness and capabilities to all relevant stakeholders by successfully managing the discharge operations for such landmark projects.
