deugro Oman, in cooperation with deugro UAE, successfully delivered a well fluid slug catcher weighing 254 metric tons.
This was from Nizwa, Oman, via the Port of Duqm, Oman, to Mina Zayed Port, Abu Dhabi, UAE.
deugro was awarded the contract for this project based on the experts’ technical concept, including a sophisticated transport engineering solution and timely ocean freight options despite extremely tight timelines.
To ensure the safe and on-time movement of the oversized and heavy lift slug catcher, deugro arranged for a route survey; detailed transport, stability, lashing and lifting plans; and regular technical meetings with the client and dteq Transport Engineering Solutions (dteq).
“The biggest challenge was the pre-carriage from the cargo pick-up location in the Nizwa Industrial Estate to the Port of Duqm, Oman. Due to the cargo’s dimensions and weight, the identification of the best-suited route and any potential obstacles such as low bridges, narrow roads, road crossings and overhead signboards was vital to ensure safe and on-time delivery,” said Deepak Fernandes, transport engineer, dteq Transport Engineering Solutions, UAE.
Under personal supervision of dteq, the slug catcher was received and secured on a multi-axle hydraulic trailer according to dteq’s securing arrangement. To ensure safe operations, a site survey was conducted in cooperation with dteq beforehand to discuss the procedures with the heavy hauler and the client.
Once the trailer, prime mover and securing were inspected, the trailer started its 700 -kilometer journey to the Port of Duqm, Oman.
