Saudi: Mammoet lands contract for transportation of villas to Red Sea resort

Saudi Arabi - P&O Maritime Logistics, a leading provider of critical logistics and marine solutions, has signed a new contract with global heavy lifting specialist Mammoet to transport the unique hotel villas, all the way from Hamriyah in Sharjah to the Sheybarah Island Resort, a luxury tourist destination on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Coast.

The two companies are supporting Red Sea Global in its ambitious project, which champions regenerative tourism and sustainable development in the Kingdom.

The Sheybarah Island Resort is a cornerstone project and part of the Saudi 2030 vision and will consist of a total of 73 uniquely shaped and prefabricated villas, some of which will hover above the island’s diverse ecosystem.

The stainless-steel orbs were conceptualised by Oppenheim Architecture, based in Miami and designed by Killa Design, the same designers of Dubai’s Museum of the Future, promising a unique experience for guests when the resort opens.

With mangroves, beaches and coral reefs, the resort will utilise the latest sustainable and eco-friendly technologies to preserve and enhance the local environment, it stated.

As per the contract, P&O Maritime Logistics will use its versatile multi carrying vessel (MCV) fleet to transport off-site manufactured pre-finished volumetric hotel villas to the resort.
