EXPRESS Global Logistics (EXG), a member of the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, recently executed a project shipment to deliver a heavy break-bulk parcel from Mundra port to Antwerp, which involved shipping of one tank with a weight of 76.61 tons and measuring 10.36 X 5.96 X 6.16 metres.
With many liners suspending services from India to Europe due to drying conventional-project cargo volumes, it was challenging to get a sailing at stipulated date, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
"It was also required for the cargo to urgently reach the buyer to fulfil a committed delivery deadline. This was a real challenge, unlikely to be availed in conventional sailings," said the press statement.
"The transit time of most of the conventional vessel's are much higher than regular liner containership transit time," said the Express Global Logistics statement.
This warranted a shipping service solution from Mundra, for a conventional break bulk unit, matched with a dedicated transit time of a container liner timing and same time meeting competitive freight budgets," it said.
"There were several challenges to load this parcel on the container vessel. With strict Safety policy in place, EXG is committed to follow highest level of safety standards in the industry. EXG came up with innovative solution to load a 76.6 ton package without compromising on HSE requirements," he said.
