Engineered for performance and sustainability, this customized floating platform is designed to carry the fully electric harvester that will extract carnallite (potassium salt) in the Dead Sea area of Jordan, said Royal IHC.

The four tracks – designed for reliability and easy maintenance – performed successfully during the tests. Together with the track suspension and steering system, they will minimize downtime and maximize performance for the client, the company said.

Next phase is the installation of all equipment, commissioning and testing.

Royal IHC said that this customized salt harvester is set to be delivered to Arab Potash Company by the end of 2025.
