Mumbai Port Handles Three Heavy Over-Dimensional Cargo Packages via Specialized Roll-Off Operation
Mumbai Port Authority successfully handled three heavy over-dimensional cargo packages weighing a total of 1,452 metric tons through a specialised Barge Roll-Off operation on September 24. The cargo, including a PG Cooler, a Riser Downcomer, and a Steam Drum, was transported by barge from Dahej, Gujarat, for export to Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, UAE. Due to their size and weight, conventional unloading methods were unsuitable, prompting the use of hydraulic puller trailers to roll the cargo safely onto the wharf. This operation highlights Mumbai Port's capabilities in managing complex heavy lift cargo and supporting international trade.
