Martijn Kuipers, Managing Director of Mammoet Middle East and Africa said: “As barging is a critical aspect in the transport chain for all future Oil and Gas projects in this region, our new partnership will bolster our available barge and tug fleet in the region, and accordingly further strengthens our services in on- and offshore transport. With Mammoet’s state-of-the-art equipment, extensive expertise in marine engineering, dedicated team of naval architects, combined with the resources and the knowledge provided by Astro Offshore, we can offer a complete package of heavy lifting and transport services, from port to foundation, for any project at any location.”

We have been involved in the petrochemical industry for decades and have a proven track record in every service we deliver. Our projects have included: ADNOC’s Shah Gas Project back in 2010, the KNPC Clean Fuel Project, Chevron’s El Segundo Refinery, Saudi Aramco’s Shaybah NGL, Shell’s Pearl Gas-to-Liquid project in Ras Laffan, Jangkrik FPSO, Yamal LNG, Gorgon LNG and the Gudrun platform, to name just a few.” he added.
