CHINA's cosco Shipping has completed the high-profile logistics mission of delivering core exhibits and supporting materials for the China Pavilion at the upcoming Osaka World Expo 2025.
The shipping company deployed a highly customised multimodal solution that combined ocean, air, and digital logistics services to ensure the safe and timely delivery of sensitive and oversized cargo, reports London's Logistics Manager.
The project involved the transportation of a range of culturally and technologically significant exhibits, including replicas of national treasures such as the Sanxingdui Bronze Sacred Tree and the Shang Dynasty Simuwu Cauldron, as well as advanced displays like a smart city sand table and AI-powered machines.
Seven ocean containers across four shipments were supplemented by 23 cubic metres of airfreight for time-sensitive and oversized items.
Temperature- and humidity-controlled containers were utilised to safeguard delicate artifacts, while three-dimensional cargo securing systems protected items during transit.
A modular container loading approach was employed for nearly 10,000 smaller exhibition items.
Among the most complex shipments were the oversized lunar soil exhibit and Jiaolong submersible experience module, which required specialised airworthiness assessments and expedited clearance processes.
Operating under tight Expo deadlines and overlapping service demands in Shanghai, COSCO Shipping activated an emergency response protocol, completing formalities for these shipments in just 72 hours. The company achieved full door-to-door delivery within seven days, cutting standard transit times by 60 per cent, highlighting its rapid-response capability in large-scale event logistics.
