BACKGROUND
Future Synthetics (Middle East) FZC won a contract to design and manufacture a total of 8 heavy lift synthetic round slings for the Dalma Gas project.

The Dalma field is part of the Ghasha Concession which is the world’s largest offshore sour gas development and an important enabler of gas self-sufficiency for the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The scope of supply for the contractor covered the EPC of four offshore wellhead towers, pipelines and umbilicals in Hair Dalma, Satah, and Bu Haseer fields.

These slings were huge and when used in basket hitch the largest had an MBL of 10,790 metric tons.

All slings were made with our trademark Engineered Length Control ® for strict length compliance. Proof load testing was conducted on our KimTest 3000t horizontal test bed in Malaysia – one of the largest in the industry.
