Mammoet has completed module weighing operations, SPMT transfer and quayside loadout for 24 PAU and PAR modules for a major gas development project. Fabricated by Quality International Co ltd FZC, the modules were shipped from Khalifa Port, Abu Dhabi Ports’ flagship deepwater multi-purpose port, following a large-scale mobilisation that required close coordination with port operations and infrastructure adjustments to accommodate oversized cargo.

The move is described as the largest outward shipment in Khalifa Port’s history. The modules were relocated from the fabrication yard at Khalifa Port South Quay to the adjacent quayside over approximately 2.5 km, then shipped in four consignments.

For weight verification, Mammoet applied twelve 300 t and eighteen 150 t jacks and load cells, using different arrangements depending on each module’s size and mass. To execute the on-port movement and loadout sequence, the company deployed 120 axle lines of self-propelled modular transporters and four power pack units.

The heaviest and tallest unit—a Process Gas Cooling Module—was recorded at 2,464 t and measured 38 m in length, 23 m in width and 32 m in height. The operation was delivered through detailed engineering and coordination with stakeholders, with Mammoet noting its long-standing presence in the UAE in remarks by Commercial Director Michel Bunnik.
