MUSCAT: Well-known Omani logistics firms Muscat International Shipping & Logistics has announced the successful delivery of diesel generators for the Masirah Oman power plant.
The cargo, comprising seven Wärtsilä generator sets, weighed 140 tons apiece and measured 13 metrers long, 3.7 metres wide and 4.4 metres high. Once the generators were discharged from the vessel at Masirah, the logistics firms moved them into a port storage area. When it was time to move them to the jobsite, the company loaded the generators onto multi-axle trailers for transport.
At the plant, Muscat International unloaded the cargo, moved it to the foundation and installed them using a jacking and skidding operation. The company also handled the transport of auxiliaries for the generators from Duqm Port to the Masirah site, including ferry transportation from Shannah to Masirah.
The 56-megawatt Masirah power plant will supply electricity to rural areas in southeastern Oman, outside the national grid. The power station will operate in extreme conditions of up to 52 Celsius degrees (125º F), Wärtsilä said in a statement. The project will be completed in 2016.
