Record Breaking Transportation of Heavy Equipment from West to East Coast of India

Jumbo and its commercial agent Wheel & Time execute one of the most prestigious coastal shipment handling Refinery, LNG, and Port Equipment in a record 29 days.

Jumbo Maritime Group’s heavy lift vessel ‘MV Fairpartner’ recently achieved a record-breaking performance by successfully completing its coastal voyage from the West Coast to the East Coast of India - travelling almost 2600 nautical miles with three separate cargoes onboard and calling at five ports - all in 29 days. It received a Special Voyage License (SVL) by the Indian authorities for each cargo/client. Wheel & Time, the commercial agent for Jumbo in India, played a pivotal management role by closely coordinating with GAC India and various other agents at the five ports, with its three clients and their engineering and administrative teams, as well as with the various port authorities and permissions related to Indian cabotage laws.

The Project
For this extensive trip, Jumbo combined three cargo loads of Refinery, Port and LNG equipment from three clients: Allcargo Logistics, Total Movements, and Global Golden Coast, in one single voyage to the ports of Hazira, Paradip, Kakinada, Gopalpur and Dhamra.
