Khimji Ramdas Relocates 97-Ton Transformers in Oman

Good News...

In an exceptional display of logistical expertise and heavy-lift coordination, Khimji Ramdas Shipping (KR Shipping), a trusted name in project logistics in Oman, recently concluded the relocation of two massive 97-ton transformers and accessories for a prominent Oman-based client. This milestone project further strengthens KR Shipping’s reputation as a leading logistics company in Oman, capable of managing complex cargo operations with precision and efficiency.

A Heavy-Duty Milestone in Oman’s Logistics Landscape

Each transformer measured an impressive 7 meters in length, 3.5 meters in width, and 4 meters in height. Transporting such heavy and oversized cargo presented unique challenges, which KR Shipping tackled head-on with careful planning and execution.

The project commenced with a comprehensive pre-route survey to identify and implement route modifications that could accommodate the Out-Of-Gauge (OOG) load. The logistics team then managed customs clearance, coordinated night-time movement to minimize disturbance, and navigated the challenging terrain with the help of police and private escorts. This operation is a great example to show the crucial role transport companies have in supporting Oman’s infrastructure and industrial development. It also promotes the importance of specialized logistics services in maintaining the momentum of key national projects.

Accurate Installation with Jacking and Skidding

Relocating the transformers was only one part of the project. The final step involved installing the units safely and accurately at their destination. KR Shipping employed jacking and skidding techniques, a testament to the team’s brilliant engineering capabilities and commitment to delivering turnkey solutions.

In addition to the main transformers, KR Shipping ensured the safe transport and delivery of all related accessories, guaranteeing the client received a fully integrated solution.

A Commitment to Excellence

As a member of the OPCA, KR Shipping embodies the network’s core values of reliability, efficiency, and technical expertise. This successful relocation project highlights the company’s ability to execute high-stakes deliveries in demanding conditions. These attributes have established KR Shipping as the transport company in Oman.

The project also emphasizes the value of choosing an experienced logistics company in Oman, one that can offer end-to-end solutions, including route analysis, clearance, escort coordination, specialized transport, and precision installation.

We congratulate Khimji Ramdas Shipping on this outstanding achievement and are proud to have such a skilled and experienced company as part of the Overseas Project Cargo Association (OPCA).
