In April 2015, Abu Dhabi Ports undertook the largest and longest heavy lift cargo load it ever handled in the Free Port.

Five heavy lift pieces of infrastructure equipment were unloaded for the Abu Dhabi Oil Refining Company (Takreer) for the new carbon black and coker plant, which was being built at the chemical refining complex in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi.

The equipment arrived on MV Dongbang Giant No.1, a heavy project Korean cargo carrier, which occupied three berths at the Freeport.

The overall combined cargo weight amounted to 3,367 metric tonnes, and 29,492 cubic meters in volume (freight tonnage). The equipment was unloaded onto the quayside by roll off operation with SPMT trailers up to 76 axles.

The largest piece of the heavy lift infrastructure equipment had a weight of 1531 metric tonnes, a width of 12 meters and a length of 116 meters – the longest piece that has ever been received in the Free Port.
