Special lifting equipment had to be designed for safe off-loading and loading. Specific beams that were brought in from India were required for the vessel discharge in Duqm.

A short window for extra-long pipes

One of Panalpina’s oil and gas customers is currently engaged in a 15-year drilling program in Oman. The customer enlisted a big steel manufacturer, to supply 62 kilometers of gas pipeline to support the project. Fast track development meant the customer required longer than usual pipes. To ensure timely shipment of this irregular-shaped cargo, Panalpina’s expertise was called upon.
