Oman's Port of Duqm has received SAL Heavy Lift vessel M V Anne Sofie carrying over-dimensional shipments for its flagship refinery project, as part of the EPC 1 package, with Spanish company Technicas Reunidas as its lead contractor.

This marks another milestone for the Port of Duqm in heavy lift cargo operation, said a statement from Port of Duqm.

The highlight of the shipment is the discharge of one single heavy lift piece weighing almost 800 tonnes and measuring 73 m in length, a width of 12.6 m and a height of 13 m. The vessel had on board air coolers and accessories.
 
Mammoet, a global market leader in heavy lift transportation, has been signed up for the safe pick-up and delivery to Duqm Refinery.

According to Port of Duqm, this is the second such heavy lift cargo in the recent times.

Two months back, the Omani port had received nine massive LPG storage tanks for the same project, each of them weighing around 780 tonnes, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
