Scope of Work

  • Ex-Works to Port Transportation
  • Port Storage & Clearance
  • Ocean Transportation

Port of Loading (POL): Mumbai, India

Port of Discharge (POD): Oman, Middle East

Project Duration: 8–9 weeks

Key Challenge: Handling and Transporting Oversized, Heavy-Lift Cargo

Pre-Loading Cargo Survey: A detailed pre-loading survey was conducted by a third-party surveyor to ensure the cargo's structural integrity and compliance with shipping standards.

The process included:

  • Meticulous visual inspections.
  • Precise measurement of dimensions and weight.
  • Identification of pre-existing damage, documented with photographic evidence.

The surveyor compiled a comprehensive report that highlighted the discrepancies and recommended remedial actions. These measures, implemented by plant managers before loading, ensured the cargo met the requisite safety and quality standards. This systematic approach was critical to enhance the reliability of the overall logistics operation.

Transportation Planning and Execution: Secure transportation from the factory to the port required detailed route surveys and meticulous planning. The measures included:

  • Utilizing high-quality lashing and securing materials to safeguard the cargo during transit.
  • Employing multi-axle low-bed trailers from a newly commissioned fleet, offering enhanced reliability for heavy and oversized cargo.
  • Assigning a technician to accompany the trailers to address potential breakdowns or any unforeseen challenges.

This proactive approach ensured the cargo reached the port securely and on schedule.

Condition Survey at Port: Upon arrival at the port, an exhaustive condition survey was conducted to verify the cargo's integrity post-transportation.

  • Experienced surveyors performed rigorous inspections.
  • The cargo’s condition was documented, and any deviations were photographed.

These measures ensured the cargo was in optimal condition for loading.

Loading Operations

The cargo was transferred from the storage yard to the berth with precision, adhering to under-hook delivery protocols. Key steps included:

  • Utilizing tandem vessel cranes for safe, coordinated lifting of the heavy and elongated cargo, minimizing risk.
  • Meticulously lashing and securing the cargo to stabilize it during transit.

An in-house port captain supervised the entire operation, ensuring strict compliance with safety standards and operational efficiency. This collaboration between the ship’s crew and port operations team was instrumental in the success of this critical phase.

Overcoming Challenges

This project involved handling two heavy-lift packages measuring 43 meters and 25 meters in length and weighing 200 MT and 190 MT, respectively. The complexity of maintaining vessel stability during tandem lifts demanded exceptional precision and expertise.

  • A highly skilled vessel crew managed the intricate lifting operations.
  • Oversight by the in-house port captain ensured seamless coordination and compliance with safety protocols.

These collaborative efforts demonstrated the team’s ability to overcome complex challenges effectively.

Conclusion

This project is a testament to the expertise required to manage complex heavy-lift operations. Through meticulous planning, advanced equipment, and skilled personnel, the team delivered a high-stakes logistics solution successfully. This achievement underscores a commitment to excellence in providing innovative, tailored solutions in the dynamic field of maritime logistics.
