CSS Abu Dhabi was contracted by VMGL to arrange the land transport & load out onto cargo barge GAC 82 / WB255 a total of 15 units Flexible Cable Reels with 9.2 m OD & weighing a total of 2240 tons for end user ARAMCO. The operation started on 28th January 2011 Saturday by moving 7 reels from lay down area to ESNAAD Jetty on parallel to the setup of the 500 tons crawler crane. The loading onto barge started parallely to the shifting of 5 more reels the next day and by January 30th 2011 and the remaining 3 reels has been shifted on the parallel of loading the delivered reels onto barge. The Project Division of Consolidated Shipping Services, Abu Dhabi had planned well in advance to move 10 out of the 15 reels from the lay down area in Mussafah to the loading yard in ESNAAD the prior evening so that the loading will start early morning. The reels were moved from the lay down area using the SPMT – Self Propelled Modular Transporter to the ESNAAD jetty. The loading took place in a special fashion by loading the reels on each corner of the barge to meet the stowage plan. In order to ensure faster operation the entire crew was split into several teams like Loading, Lashing and Transporting who were performing the tasks in parallel to ensure the continuous flow of operation. This entire project was headed by Asst. General Manager, Suku Sudhakaran and Branch Manager – Ahmad Fuad with the help of Transport Coordinator, Prajeesh Sivaprasad and Sales Executive Kaveen Amarsinghe who has been closely coordinating with the customer transporter and the ESNAAD officials to ensure the smooth operation. On behalf of CSS we also thank ESNAAD employees and management for their whole hearted support and cooperation during the operation which made it easier to meet maximum customer satisfaction and maintain the level of service CSS offers.
