Port Said Shipyard decided to expand and install a new 35,000t capacity floating dry dock, ‘Fakhr Al Qanah’. In preparation for its arrival, Canal Harbour and Great Projects Co. CHP (Affiliate to Suez Canal Authority) awarded the pile installation project to Petroleum Marine Services (PMS). In September of 2023, client mobilized the Conquest MB1 to assist in the shallow water pile installation for the new floating platform.
For the primary lifting of the main piles, we used our 1400t Spacelift Main Crane and our 500t Liebherr Deck Crane in tandem for more controlled and precise placememt of the two 53m long, 9m dia., 285t main piles. Through great cooperation and team efforts the job was completed in just 35 days.
