ALTIUS project division successfully transported and delivery on time to the job site, to the client's satisfaction, 2x Drums of 132 tons gross weight each, 2x Heat Exchanger of 62 tons, and general cargo for the "Jazan Refinery & Terminal Project".

All the cargo was shipped from Porto Marghera (Italy) to Jizan Port (KSA) on a self-geared vessel.

Then, all the cargo was transported by road to the site through an 84-km route from the mentioned discharge port in Saudi Arabia.

For enabling the haulage of the two over-dimensional & heavy-lift units of 132 tons, civil works and road improvements had to be made, such as the construction of several by-passes for avoiding to cross over culvert bridges due to weight limitations as per local transport authorities, pulling up also power line cables due to the huge overall height of the transport convoy up to 6,30 meters high, and driving against the traffic in some parts of the route with the assistance of escort cars and local police to avoid some street obstacles.

ALTIUS Project Cargo Division successfully transported and delivered on time and on-site to the customer's satisfaction, two Tanks weighing 132 tons each, two Heat Exchangers weighing 62 tons, and other general cargo for the transport project "Jazan Refinery & Terminal Project".

All the equipment was shipped from Porto Marghera (Italy) to the port of Jizan (Saudi Arabia) on board a ship with its own cranes.

All parts were then transported by road to the delivery site location along an 84-kilometre-long transport route from the aforementioned port of unloading.

In order to allow the land transport of the oversized parts weighing 132 tons, civil works and road works had to be carried out, such as the construction of temporary detours to avoid driving over bridges due to maximum transport weight limitations according to the local transport authorities, lifting of cables due to the high overall height of the transport convoy of up to 6.30 meters high, and driving in the wrong direction at certain parts of the route with the assistance of escort cars and local police in order to avoid the removal of road obstructions.
