On April 10, 2024, J M Baxi Heavy loaded the bridge at Rohini Yard, near Raigad, and set sailing for the port on east coast of India. “The bridge was intended for installation in the KG Basin as part of the 98/2 project scheduled for May 2024. However, due to adverse weather conditions, the installation had to be postponed, requiring the relocation of the bridge on land until the next available installation window in December 2024,” it said.
J M Baxi stated that various locations were evaluated for the load-in, including Krishnapatnam Port, Vizag Port, Hindustan Shipyard Jetty (Vizag), and the possibility of returning the barge to Rohini Yard. After careful consideration of costs and timelines, Krishnapatnam Port was selected for the load-in operation.
