Logistics expertise ensures successful transportation of 194 modules


With some modules weighing as much as 4,700 tonnes, Petrofac successfully fabricated and transported 194 modules to the islands. To mitigate the risk offloading and onloading to a smaller vessel at port for the journey from China and Singapore to Abu Dhabi, the modules were loaded onto cargo barges and towed them to an anchorage point where one of the world’s largest semi-submersible heavy-lift vessels was waiting. The vessel sailed to Abu Dhabi where the barges were offloaded and towed to their respective islands in the UZ750 field development.
