Altius carried out the transport of a centrifugal compressor with dimensions of 14.5 x 5.05 x 3.85 meters and 103 tons in weight, from Italy (FCA Marina di Carrara) to Saudi Arabia (Damman), for the Ras Tanura project.
Altius was also responsible for arranging the overland journey from the supplier’s premises, including licensing formalities, port handling, including supervision of all activities, and sea transport to the port of Damman, including the vessel’s agency in KSA.
Due to the situation caused by the Covid19 , the vessel scheduled for transport could not guarantee the planned loading dates. This cargo was critical to the development of the project, so Altius arranged an alternative solution immediately, hiring another vessel and using two 500-ton mobile cranes to unload at Damman without complications.
Altius managed to deliver the goods on time, so much so that they arrived even ahead of schedule, to the customer’s satisfaction.
