DDP HVAC Units Amman –KOC Lower Fars oil project Kuwait (Petrofac )
This is one of our key clients who serves as a primary contractor responsible for supplying engineering materials and provisions to Petrofac Co., an international oil and gas service provider. This client is also the main EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contractor for the Lower Fars Heavy Oil Project in Kuwait, which is carried out on behalf of Kuwait Oil Company (KOC).
Client's requirements
- We were assigned with transporting 44 packages containing air cooling units, chemical filtrations, and duct heaters, which together form a complete HVAC system.
- The origin of the shipment is the supplier's warehouse located in Amman, Jordan, and the destination is an oil site in Kuwait.
- The units have oversized dimensions, measuring 3 meters in length, 2.5 meters in width, and 3.45 meters in height. Each unit weighs 5 tons, and the total shipment volume amounts to 1140.00 cubic meters.
- Given the urgency of the situation, it is essential that the cargo reaches the site within 10 days to avoid any work stoppage.
First Global Logistics work
1. We swiftly provided an immediate and efficient land transport shipping solution for the entire shipment of 1140.00 cubic meters using 10 extendable low trailers, each measuring 15 meters in length.
Our proposal included security measures, such as utilizing extendable trailers with folded steel curtains, which facilitated easy loading considering the cargo's overwidth and overheight dimensions.
By taking immediate action and ensuring delivery within five days before the scheduled due date, we secured this business opportunity against our sole competitor, GEODIS.
2. Our comprehensive DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) scope of work encompassed various crucial tasks. We took responsibility for lashing and securing the cargo onto the trucks, handled all paperwork and customs requirements at the Saudi Arabian borders, managed duties, and facilitated unloading at the designated site in Kuwait. Moreover, we secured insurance coverage for the cargo throughout the transportation process.
3. The entire handling and operational aspects of this cross-trade business were meticulously managed and controlled by our operations team in Egypt, with our personnel physically overseeing operations in both Egypt and Kuwait.
I am pleased to report that the job was executed flawlessly, and the cargo arrived safely at the designated site within the specified timeframe.
