Timeline Logistics Solutions Completes Oversized Transport to Chancay Despite Temporary Bridge Restrictions
February 20, 2026
Timeline Logistics Solutions SAC, a Project Logistics Alliance member representing Peru, has once again proven its strength in handling complex Out of Gauge cargo with precision and efficiency. In this latest case study, the team successfully managed the receipt and delivery of a Terminal Truck destined for the New Chancay Port (Port of COSCO Shipping) in Chancay, Peru, overcoming infrastructure challenges and route limitations along the way.
The shipment originated in Gdańsk, Poland, and arrived at the Port of Callao, Peru, via ocean freight. The cargo consisted of a Terminal Tractor loaded on a 40’ Flat Rack (FR) OOG container. With dimensions of 4.00 meters in height and 2.56 meters in width, and a total weight of 15.7 metric tons, the unit required careful planning and specialized inland transport arrangements.

Upon arrival at Callao Port, Timeline Logistics Solutions coordinated the discharge and handling of the oversized equipment. Given the cargo’s extra height, the team conducted a comprehensive route survey before proceeding with inland transportation. This step was particularly critical due to recent developments affecting the main access route between Lima and Chancay.
A few weeks prior to the operation, the bridge connecting Lima to the entrance of Chancay city had collapsed. In response, the Peruvian Civil Defense authorities swiftly constructed a temporary metallic bridge to restore connectivity between Lima and northern Peru. However, this temporary structure imposed strict limitations on vehicle dimensions and weight, making a detailed feasibility study essential. After confirming that the Terminal Truck could safely transit the route without exceeding the bridge’s restrictions, the team arranged for loading onto a specialized Lowboy truck. The equipment was carefully secured and prepared for the inland journey.

The cargo then commenced its 72.4-kilometer journey from Callao to the New Chancay Port. To ensure timely delivery and avoid any operational disruptions, the transport was scheduled strategically. The convoy departed Callao at 08:00 hrs. and successfully arrived at the destination by 10:00 hrs., meeting the client’s deadline without incident.
Handling oversized cargo of this nature requires meticulous coordination, technical assessment, and experienced execution. The additional complexity posed by the temporary bridge and its dimensional constraints further highlighted the importance of thorough route analysis and pre-planning. By addressing each potential risk in advance, Timeline Logistics Solutions ensured a smooth and secure operation.
