Almajdouie Logistics Company completed the transport of cold boxes from Germany to an industrial gas plant in Saudi Arabia.

The cold boxes weighed 358 tonnes each and measured 31.19 x 13.9 x 9.5 metres. On arrival at Jubail Industrial Port in Saudi Arabia the cargo was jacked down onto a 36 axle hydraulic trailer using specially designed beams and stools.

Challenges during the transport of the cargo to the plant included narrow and winding roads. To avoid a narrow two way road inside port, the team used an alternative route away from the main traffic.
