Total Movements manages heavy-lift gas processing units for Middle East gas production project

Jun 30, 2026

Total Movements, a member of the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, has successfully executed a door-to-port transportation of 6 Gas Processing Units (GPUs) totaling about 12,800 cbm, including the heaviest unit weighing 1,400 ton, from the supplier's facility in India to the Middle East.

The project involved deploying specialized axle configurations for cargo pick-up and transportation to the load-out jetty, followed by Roll-On operations onto 2 dedicated Deck Carrier Vessels, transportation via the river-sea route, and Roll-Off operations at the discharge port.

Key features included handling ultra-heavy cargo, operating within critical tidal windows, ensuring vessel stability for the 1,400 ton unit, and securing cargo for safe sea transit. To overcome these challenges, the project expert team from Total Movements implemented customized axle configurations, detailed vessel load distribution analysis, precise tidal planning, and MWS-approved sea fastening calculations.

Through meticulous engineering, seamless stakeholder coordination, and strict adherence to HSE standards, every stage of the operation was executed safely, efficiently and on schedule.
