Polaris Shipping Agencies Deliver 120mtn Gas Turbine Rotor
31st July 2025
One of the standout operations recently executed by Polaris Shipping Agencies involved the mobilisation of a Gas Turbine Rotor weighing 120mtn from Europe to the Middle East.
As with most mission-critical industrial components, the movement of this rotor came with a non-negotiable delivery deadline, demanding careful orchestration from start to finish.
The Polaris Project Logistics Team initiated the planning process well in advance, conducting comprehensive feasibility studies, detailed route surveys, and securing all road transport permissions and escorts ahead of the vessel's arrival. This level of foresight was crucial in avoiding delays and ensuring uninterrupted flow from the port to the delivery site.
Upon arrival at the discharge port, Polaris coordinated a smooth offloading operation, followed by precise inland transportation using specialised heavy-lift equipment. Throughout each phase, the Polaris team maintained close coordination with port authorities, transport agencies, and site engineers to ensure complete alignment and safety compliance.
Despite the challenges posed by the cargo's weight, dimensions, and the strict delivery schedule, it was successfully delivered to the receiver's site on schedule, without incident or delay. The operation reinforced Polaris' ability to deliver results under pressure and uphold their promise of performance-driven logistics.
"In the dynamic world of project logistics, every successful move is much more than the physical transport of cargo - it's a story of strategic planning, meticulous execution, and unwavering teamwork. At Polaris Shipping Agencies, we take immense pride in executing complex project cargo movements with the highest standards of reliability and efficiency. This project once again demonstrates our commitment to operational excellence."
