ADNOC, Roll Group form oil and gas heavy lifting and transport partnership

ADNOC Logistics & Services (ADNOC L&S), the shipping and maritime logistics arm of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), has created a strategic partnership with Roll Group to strengthen its turnkey integrated logistics offering.

ADNOC said that the partnership with Roll Group would enable ADNOC L&S to jointly implement heavy haulage solutions for both onshore and offshore projects.

The partnership agreement was signed by ADNOC L&S CEO Abdulkareem Al Masabi and Roll Group’s CEO Peter Rondhuis. The deal was signed in the presence of SVP of ship management at ADNOC L&S Mohamed Al Ali and the founding partner of Roll Group Frans Van Seumeren.

Under the terms of the agreement, ADNOC L&S and Roll Group will offer end-to-end heavy lifting and transport solutions, including full-scale installation for EPC contracts, acting as a one-stop-shop for all logistic requirements.

This integrated approach is expected to reduce overall project costs for customers, including ADNOC Group.

Al Masabi said: “The partnership with Roll Group is an important step in the growth of our integrated logistics operations, particularly for heavy haulage. Heavy lift services are an integral part of any large EPC contract, and this combined capability allows us to deliver a comprehensive and cutting-edge solution, which also turns out be more economical for the project”.

There are several major oil and gas projects at the bidding stage in the UAE, which require a combined solution of heavy-lift land transport, marine transport, marine services and engineering. The collaboration between ADNOC L&S and Roll Group enables the companies to provide fully integrated solutions within the UAE and across the region.

Nimalan Logeswaran, regional sales director for Roll Group in the MENA region, added: “We have formed this partnership to consolidate our expertise in response to the changing market conditions and our clients’ requirements. By providing a single integrated source covering end-to-end logistics solutions, ADNOC L&S and Roll Group can now offer our clients an optimized and economical approach for their logistical needs on oil and gas projects”.
