Forgesail Successfully Supports Heavy-Duty Transfer Bogie Testing at King Salman Maritime Yard Project

This week marks a significant milestone at the King Salman International Complex for Maritime Industries and Services in Saudi Arabia. Forgesail is honored to support this strategic shipbuilding project by providing a complete heavy-duty rail system solution designed for one of the region’s largest heavy-duty transfer systems.

As part of the ongoing commissioning works, the project completed the initial testing of the 250-meter Transfer Bogie System, engineered to move vessels and modules weighing up to 23,470 tons in a single operation. The bogie successfully traversed the full track line with excellent performance — smooth travel, no impact noise, no vibration, and precise movement across all critical sections of the crane rail system.

During the test, the ARAMCO supervision team conducted strict dimensional inspections along the entire track alignment using precision feeler gauges. All tolerance requirements were met, confirming the accuracy, stability, and reliability of our engineering, manufacturing, and installation quality.

Forgesail provided a complete and integrated rail solution, including:

  • 95 km of crane rails and a full package of rail accessories and fastening systems
  • Full transfer-line layout and engineering design
  • Onsite technical support, installation supervision, and long-term maintenance services

Rather than supplying a single product, our scope covered the entire heavy-duty rail system, with all essential components, subassemblies, and support services required for synchronized multi-bogie movement under extreme loads. This ensures long-term durability, alignment accuracy, and operational safety for the ship transfer system.

Forgesail is committed to supporting major shipyards, ports, heavy-industry plants, and offshore facilities with:

  • Comprehensive rail system engineering
  • Customized component manufacturing
  • Onsite installation and commissioning support
  • Lifecycle maintenance services

We are proud to contribute to the success of this landmark maritime industrial project and will continue delivering reliable rail system solutions to global heavy-duty transport and infrastructure projects.
