Business Transformation Through Continuous Innovation

Khamis Juma Buamim Chairman of Drydocks World & Maritime World

and we endeavor to strengthen the corporate social responsibility and sustainability goals of Dubai and our nation.

Turret Load out - M1 & M2

Drydocks World successfully completed Turret modules 1& 2 to ‘sail away’ for the world’s largest floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility. This innovative FLNG facility will be stationed by Shell at its Prelude gas field off the northwest coast of Australia, unlocking new essential energy resources offshore to meet growing demand. Once all six Turret modules are integrated in Korea and transported to Australia, they will comprise the largest Turret Mooring System in the world, weighing over 11,000 tons. At nearly 100-metres, the Turret will be taller than the ‘Big Ben’ clock tower in London, making it the largest ever completed. For the first time at Drydocks World- Dubai, 8 lines of 2x22 axle Self Propelled Modular Trailers (SPMT) were used to load out Turret modules 1 & 2 onto the ‘KOREX’ shipping vessel sailing for Korea. As one of the most powerful heavy-duty transport systems worldwide, the SPMT equipment was used to load the heavy Turret components from the quay onto the barge. Due to the weight of the Turret structures, Drydocks World’s quay strength was challenged and determined strong enough


to sustain the loads of Turret Modules 1 & 2. In conjunction with the advanced SPMT technology, the Mediterranean mooring maneuver was used with additional load out plates, in order to balance the immense operation. With the extreme size and weight to transport, Drydocks equipment and workforce maintained a safe and secure environment, successfully delivering the pioneering Turret Modules load out. http://www.drydocks.gov.ae/en/news/turret.sailaway.aspx
