The operation process is still going on and till now EGL successfully completed transportation of 5 heavy boilers. A great engineering efforts and pre-study had been done to define the best route with less civil work activities as the vessel’s mandatory called at Damietta port (Due to Corona Virus, there wasn’t alternative options to use other port). So special arrangements took place with Damietta container terminal, Port authority, Customs, Road & Bridges authority, RBA consultant and Central escort in order to guarantee smooth operations of port handling and in-land transportations for 900K.M to final destinations especially for the first shipment due to spread of COVID-19 Virus and daily curfew from 17:00 till 06:00.
