JSI Alliance has completed a major project in India for AFCONS Infrastructure Limited, part of the Shapoorji Pallonji Group Company, covering heavy-lift transport and installation work for a new liquid cargo berth at Gujarat Chemical Port Ltd. (GCPL).

AFCONS Infrastructure Limited was contracted to construct the berth, with JSI Alliance entrusted to execute critical heavy-lifting operations for the development.

The scope included transportation of 18 components from Dighi Port to Dahej and installation at the new berth over six voyages. Lift weights ranged from 50 t to 600 t.

The project was carried out using HLV Jumbo Javelin, equipped with a Fly Jib. Strong currents made dynamic positioning unsuitable, so a temporary eight-point mooring system was installed onboard and connected to pre-laid anchors.

Working with two assisting vessels, the first installation is scheduled for completion in December 2025, with full project delivery planned for March 2026.

GCPL, located along the Gulf of Khambhat, handles bulk liquids including petroleum products, chemicals, and petrochemicals. The expansion is set to increase its handling capacity to 12 million metric tonnes per year.
