Adnoc Logistics & Services has announced a strategic partnership with Netherlands-headquartered Roll Group to strengthen its turnkey integrated logistics offering.
The partnership with Roll Group enables 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, Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi and Roll Group’s CEO, Peter Rondhuis, in the presence of Captain Mohamed Al Ali, SVP of Ship Management at Adnoc L&S, and Frans Van Seumeren, founding partner of Roll Group.
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 Engineering, Procurement and Construction (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. The agreement also strengthens the development of Adnoc L&S’ logistics base in Mussafah and Riash as Roll Group will set up a permanent base at ADNOC L&S’ Mussafah Offshore Supply Base and relocate its Self-Propelled Modular Trailers (SPMTs) to Adnoc L&S’ Riash facility.
Captain Abdulkareem Al Masabi, CEO of Adnoc L&S, 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.”
Roll Group was started in 2006 in Amsterdam (Netherlands), and it has since developed into one of the key providers of heavy haulage solutions worldwide, including in the UAE.
