Khimji Ramdas Shipping Ensures Seamless Operations for Oman’s Green Ammonia Project

We’re pleased to share a remarkable project update from our valued Overseas Project Cargo Association (OPCA) member, KHIMJI RAMDAS SHIPPING L.L.C (KRS). Their Projects and Multi-Modal Logistics division has successfully completed a complex, time-critical logistics operation in support of Oman’s pilot Green Hydrogen and Ammonia facility in Duqm.

Khimji Ramdas Shipping (KRS), Projects and Multi-Modal Logistics, demonstrated its expertise in handling critical and time-bound logistics operations to ensure safe delivery of oversized capital goods for the pilot Green Hydrogen and Ammonia facility in Duqm, Oman. 

The scope handled included receiving under the vessel’s hook, clearance, port handling, transport with necessary permissions and escorts, and unloading at the site for safe placement on suitable platforms of oversized capital goods for the upcoming facility, comprising 14 packages, including a single piece weighing 120 metric tons.

Key to the operation’s success was the meticulous planning and execution that enabled trailers to be positioned under the hook ahead of vessel arrival, facilitating a swift discharge and quicker vessel turnaround, thus providing a commercial edge to the client. The oversized cargo was then moved to the port yard for customs inspection using specialized trailers, with transits scheduled during nighttime hours under police escort to ensure public safety and traffic compliance.

KRS coordinated closely with port and customs authorities to secure the necessary permissions for delivery to the client’s facility at the Duqm Free Zone. A comprehensive route survey was completed before vessel arrival, and detailed plans for transportation and cargo unloading were shared and implemented in coordination with all stakeholders.

Throughout the operation, KRS maintained strict adherence to the applicable HSE (Health, Safety, and Environmental) standards, fully aligned to the end client’s safety protocols as well as KRS own safe practices.

This successful execution again underlines KRS’s reputation as one of the most reliable logistics partners in Oman’s growing renewable energy sector—delivering complex cargo movements with precision, safety, and customer satisfaction at the forefront.

Congratulations to KHIMJI RAMDAS SHIPPING L.L.C. on this impressive achievement and for showcasing the strength of OPCA members in executing critical project cargo operations worldwide.
