Case Study
Project name: Project Goliath involved transporting a 600 MT Goliath crane from Mokpo, South Korea, to Cochin, India.
- Duration: The project spanned several months, considering both the sea journey and in-yard movements at both ends.
- Route planning: The project required a complex route plan that managed the international sea transport of the crane and intricate road infrastructure at both Mokpo and Cochin ports.
- Infrastructure: To support the transport of such an oversized and heavy crane, both ports had to make special arrangements, including modifications to their existing infrastructure to accommodate the dimensions of the cargo.
- Fleet used: The SPMT configuration (24X24 + 12X12) was utilized to handle the massive weight and size of the crane. Specialized deck carriers were employed to ferry the crane safely across the sea from Mokpo to Cochin.
- Cargo Safety: Throughout the project, real-time cargo monitoring systems were employed to ensure the safety of the cargo. Securing mechanisms were utilized to prevent any damage during transport.
- Training of Personnel: The team involved was highly skilled, receiving specialized training in handling oversized equipment and following strict safety protocols.
- Involvement of Other Companies: To ensure seamless execution, the project required collaboration with multiple stakeholders, including engineering firms, shipbuilders, and port authorities in South Korea and India.
- Other Challenges: The main challenges were managing international regulations and adjusting the ports' infrastructure to accommodate the crane's size. Despite these obstacles, the project was executed successfully and on time

Project Kanchipuram
- Project Name: Project Kanchipuram involved transporting two luffing cranes (75T and 40T) from Kanchipuram to West Coast India.
- Duration: This multi-phase project required several weeks for planning and execution due to the variety of cargo types involved.
- Route Planning: Careful consideration of local road infrastructure was necessary to ensure the cranes and ODCs could be transported without obstacles.
- Infrastructure: The cranes had to navigate narrow roads, requiring adjustments to local infrastructure at certain points. The total volume of cargo handled was 18,000 CBM.
- Logistics Planning: Cargomar managed the transport of 13 Super ODCs, 20 ODCs, and 67 other cargo types, coordinating with local authorities to avoid delays.
- Cargo Safety: Advanced monitoring equipment assessed cargo safety during the move, ensuring both cranes reached their destination undamaged.
- Training of Personnel: Personnel involved in this project were trained extensively in cargo handling and safety procedures to ensure the cranes and other components were transported securely.
- Involvement of Other Companies: We worked closely with local engineering firms and authorities to manage the logistical challenges and navigate regulatory barriers.
- Other Challenges: The key challenges concerned ensuring road clearances and infrastructure suitability for transporting oversized cranes. The company overcame these challenges with thorough planning and execution.
