Last December, EXG had carried 2 Reels 284 MT each & measurements of up to 9.38 X 5.91 X 9.20 (Mtrs). They were destined for 3 Well Head Platform Project in the Abu Dhabi. 

Like last time,the said movement was also absolutely critical and time bound. Considering the urgency of the shipment,the entire project team of EXG closely monitored the delivery arrangements of Shipper and Port handling agency to ensure the completion of loading of shipment as per planned. The  challenge was to arrange a suitable vessel matching cargo laycan at Newcastle.

Another challenge was to berth the vessel to load the cargo during the available berth window slot, provided by terminal.
