- Asyad completes the international transport of a 115 metric ton pressurized cryogenic tank from Northern India to Dammam, Saudi Arabia
- The journey involved a 1,500 km overland segment to Mumbai port, followed by maritime shipping to KSA
- The operation reflects Asyad’s capabilities in handling critical, sensitive cargo with strict adherence to safety and compliance standards
Asyad Group, Oman’s global integrated logistics provider, has successfully completed a high-precision breakbulk operation, transporting an ultra-heavy liquefied natural gas (LNG) cryogenic tank for Gas Lab Asia, moving the cargo from Northern India to Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The operation reflects the Group’s strong presence in delivering integrated logistics solutions for high-value, specialized projects.
The operation involved transporting a 115 metric ton pressurized tank, 28 meters in length and 5.5 meters in height. The cargo was hauled overland for 1,500 kilometers from Northern India to Mumbai port over a period of three weeks before being shipped across the Arabian Sea to its final destination in Dammam, KSA.
Commenting on the achievement, said Juma Al Maskari, Asyad Logistics Director said “Transporting this type of specialized cargo requires a high level of technical expertise, along with advanced operational coordination across countries. Our strategy in such projects demonstrates our ability to mobilize international resources across borders and efficiently manage high-value shipments through customized logistics solutions tailored to precise operational requirements.”
The challenges of this operation stemmed from the sensitive nature of cryogenic gas storage tanks, which demand precise temperature and pressure control. Specialized equipment and custom handling where essential throughout the entire process. The entire move meticulously executed through detailed engineering assessments, route planning, compliance checks and last-mile coordination to ensure safety, integrity and efficiency at every stage. This achievement further solidifies Asyad Group’s growing record in executing precise logistics project across the GCC and South Asia. It also reinforces its position as a trusted partner for high-value & sensitive cargo movement, while advancing Oman Vision 2040 by strengthening the Sultanate’s logistics infrastructure and positioning it as a globally competitive hub.
