Polaris Shipping handles several heavy lift shipments

Polaris Shipping Agencies’ (UAE) project team was busy executing several heavy lift shipments recently.

A few of the shipments handled successfully are as follows: Heavy Lift Rotor at Port Khalifa and Delivery to Client for Repairs.

Polaris was responsible for receiving a large rotor which was received from an under hook, heavy lift vessel at Port Khalifa, Abu Dhabi, which was retained on stools & beam supports and safely delivered to the consignee once processes their side were completed and had their factory ready for the cargo.

Polaris’ scope of services included receipt from an under hook vessel, third-party independent routing as well as a cargo survey, shifting from discharge berth to temporary storage, final customs clearance and road delivery to the consignee which was carried out to the “full satisfaction of our clients”.

Additionally, the rotor was shipped on a motor vessel – the BBC Sapphire – and with Polaris being agents of BBC Chartering in all Middle East ports, it provides the client an additional advantage in coordinating with Polaris whose Agency & Project departments control the entire operation hand-in-hand.
