Project Overview

Transcar Projects has extensive experience in the transportation of subsea Xmas trees, critical components in offshore oil and gas production. These complex and valuable pieces of equipment are often needed urgently due to the timing of their manufacture and installation. To meet these demands, Transcar regularly charters AN124 cargo aircraft to ensure these items are delivered rapidly and safely to their destination.


The Challenge

The main challenge in transporting subsea Xmas trees lies in their urgency and the need for specialized handling during air transport. These components are typically large, heavy, and sensitive, requiring meticulous planning to ensure they are loaded, transported, and unloaded without damage. Additionally, coordinating with various stakeholders, including manufacturers, airports, and installation teams, is crucial to ensuring that the tight schedules are met.

Transcar Projects approaches the transportation of subsea Xmas trees with a focus on speed and safety. The team coordinates closely with manufacturers to understand the precise dimensions and handling requirements of each tree, ensuring that the right aircraft and loading equipment are used.





For urgent deliveries, Transcar charters AN124 cargo aircraft, which are ideally suited for transporting large and heavy items within a tight time window. The team’s experience in chartering these aircraft allows them to optimize the process, ensuring that the Xmas trees are securely stowed and protected during flight.


In addition to the air transport logistics, Transcar manages the entire process from end to end, including ground handling, customs clearance, royalty applications and final delivery to the installation site. This comprehensive approach ensures that the Xmas trees are delivered as quickly as possible, with no disruptions to the installation schedule.


Outcome

Transcar Projects has successfully transported numerous subsea Xmas trees for various clients, consistently meeting tight deadlines and ensuring the safe delivery of these critical components. The clients appreciate Transcar’s ability to handle these urgent and complex logistics operations, which are vital to the success of their offshore projects. The successful execution of these projects further cements Transcar’s reputation as a leader in specialized air and project logistics.
