The new department’s inaugural project encompassed transporting a massive oil and gas consignment from the UAE’s Jebel Ali Port to Iraq’s Umm Qasr Port, marking a significant milestone, and showcasing the company’s ability to handle large-scale complex operations.

The consignment comprised various oil and gas equipment including modules, tools, pipes, and other tools crucial to the energy sector.
Some of the most complex items exceeded 80 tonnes in weight and stretched over 22 meters in length.
