The scope involved Road Transportation from the supplier's Factory to the nearest Jetty, rolling on the Drums onto the Barge, Barging to the port closest to the refinery site, inland delivery and placement to the Foundation. The operation required meticulous planning and coordination, given the massive dimensions and weight of the cargo. Key highlights and challenges included:

• End-to-end multimodal coordination, including marine and inland logistics
• Operations carried out during foul weather and heavy monsoon rainfall, demanding strict safety controls
• Navigating tide constraints at both ports
• Securing Marine Warranty Surveyor (MWS) approvals for the sea voyage
• Managing road transportation challenges due to poor infrastructure and ODC movement restrictions
