Project Logistics Alliance News

Avvashya CCI Logistics Private Limited, a member of the Project Logistics Alliance based in Nepal, was chosen by SkipperSeil Limited to transport two transformers and their accessories from Mundra, India, to Lagos, Nigeria to help generate electricity for a State-Owned Nigerian Company. Upon arrival at the final destination, the cargo would be utilized for electricity generation purposes.

The total weight of the cargo was 135 tons each, and each transformer measured 8.20 x 4.60 x 4.50 meters. The shipment was transported to the port via road on ten single hydraulic axles. To load the cargo onto a vessel, two Liebherr cranes with a capacity of 400 tons each were used at the Adani port. This marked the first deployment of such massive machines at the Adani Port.

A precise and comprehensive plan was necessary due to the limited space at the loading point. Thanks to Avvashya CCI's expertise, the entire shipment was executed flawlessly and according to schedule. The cargo arrived at the final destination in perfect condition, meeting the client's requirements.

We congratulate Avvashya CCI on their successful execution of this project and wish them continued success in the future.

Blue Bell Shipping LLC, a member of the Project Logistics Alliance representing Iraq, transported cargo which included electrical plant rooms and prefabricated buildings from Hamriyah, the United Arab Emirates, bound for a site in North Iraq. The components varied in size, with the longest unit measuring 20.27 meters. Most of the parts roughly measured 19.76 x 4.84 x 4.97 meters, with weights ranging from 45 to 72 tons.

The project started with transporting the cargo from Hamriyah to Atakaş Port in Turkey. Delivering the shipment on time was critical to maintaining a smooth installation sequence at the project site. Delays caused by congestion in major ports Iskenderun, would have amplified that problem. To decrease delays, Blue Bell Shipping chartered a faster vessel from Hamriyah to Atakaş Port to keep transit times down and reduce berthing time. This move helped the Blue Bell team to maintain its EPC schedule, simultaneously reducing costs due to decreased detention fees.

Upon its arrival in Turkey, the shipment was moved by road on specialised semi-hydraulic trailers to Northern Iraq as an OOG cargo due to the massive size of the units. Before the onshore shipment could proceed, a route survey was performed as some of the components were above five meters high and wide, which further complicated the project by adding difficulty to what was already a long-haul road journey.  

Despite challenges, the Blue Bell team stayed focused and ensured their client's cargo arrived in perfect condition and to the client’s utmost satisfaction. The project is further evidence of the company's outstanding ability to handle any issue that comes its way.

Representing Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam in the Project Logistics Alliance, FLS Group has successfully completed the delivery of six floating units from Ha Long Bay, Vietnam. The cargo, collected from a naval factory, was intended for use in the aquaculture industry and comprised two dumb barges, two Aquacat boats weighing 120 tons each, a feed barge weighing 180 tons, and a 25-ton workboat.

The FLS Chartering Desk team was able to find the perfect breakbulk vessel, MV Coe Curia, that matched all the requirements. Comprising of three decks, the cargo was stowed on the vessel as follows:

• Three units were put in three different spots, each measuring 41.99 x 17.50 x 12.13 meters
• Three boats were placed in two areas which measured 29.03 x 17.5 x 11.72 meters

To transport the cargo, the FSL Chartering Desk team found a suitable breakbulk vessel with three decks. Three units measuring 41.99 x 17.50 x 12.13 meters were placed in three different spots, while three boats were situated in two areas measuring 29.03 x 17.5 x 11.72 meters. The loading process was complex, requiring a collaborative technical solution, with divers assisting in the hooking up of the cargo. Despite this, all loading stages were completed in just four days, showcasing FLS Group's capability and efficiency.

Throughout the project, FLS Group provided custom-tailored solutions that maximized efficiency and minimized costs, setting a new personal record for the most freight carried on a single vessel. This successful shipment highlights the company's ability to support a wide range of industries through its expertise in project logistics.

PT Total Movements, which represents Indonesia in the Project Logistics Alliance, was entrusted with delivering 3,900 concrete pieces and anode-coated pipes weighing 16,000 tons. The cargo was collected in India and intended for use in an oil and gas project in multiple Southeast Asian countries.

The company handled all sea transportation planning and organized the loading of cargo onto ships. After unloading at the destination port, Total Movements oversaw the stacking, storage, and stowage of the cargo before reloading it onto several barges bound for the project site.

All cargo had to be transported on a single vessel while complying with MWS standards, with the company's experts ensuring that all safety parameters were met during the operation. These included covering, lifting, and dunnage, as well as ship stability, among others.

Despite adverse weather conditions at the port that hindered the discharge process, the company worked with all stakeholders to ensure a seamless shipment.

The project was a collaborative effort between Total Movements Indonesia and India, with both teams working together to address significant issues. Total Movements' agility and unwavering commitment to delivering excellent service have led to another successful endeavour.

A proud member of the Project Logistics Alliance representing Argentina, Bolivia, and Spain, Altius S.A. has completed the first phase of an intermodal transport consisting of four steam separators for a nuclear power plant in France. Each of these separators weighed 20 tons and measured 4.9 x 4.9 x 5.2 meters in size.

The transportation's initial phase spanned two nights, commencing with a road trip to the port of Santander. The height of the convoy, which totaled 5.82 meters and comprised trailers, presented a substantial obstacle. To overcome this issue, Altius established a comprehensive coordination strategy that involved continuous trailer leveling to ensure a secure journey through traffic lights, signs, cables, and bridges.

Next, the four equipment pieces were placed on roll trailers and loaded onto a Ro-Ro ship that sailed to Rotterdam. This marked the beginning of the second phase of the operation, during which the cargo was transported via a fluvial barge to France, then by road for almost 400 km to the final destination.

This project showcased Altius' extensive experience and impressive ability to create innovative solutions for complex shipments. We extend our congratulations to the Altius team for this impressive achievement!

Livo Logistics, a member of the Project Logistics Alliance has successfully delivered a Ryong Process Gas Cooler, a critical component for a Hydrogen manufacturing plant in India. The cargo was transported from the production site of Ofmeco in Mantova, Italy using 80 ton cranes at the pick-up location on to low-bed trailer. Once at the port 80 ton shore cranes were used to load it onto the vessel.

To transport the cargo, Livo Logistics utilized special low bed trailers with road permits and escorts, which posed several challenges due to the cargo's length, height, and weight. The company had to schedule all stages of handling, apply for and obtain road permits, and load and unload the cargo at the terminal within the time required by the shipowners, including export customs formalities and monitoring for vessel arrival.

The Livo team provided continuous monitoring and updates to the client on each operation carried out, ensuring successful delivery on time and as agreed with the client. Livo Logistics had to meet the date of operations under FOB terms without compromising the loading and consequently the arrival of the goods at the destination.

Livo Logistics' ability to deliver the Ryong Process Gas Cooler despite the challenges it posed reflects the company's commitment to quality service and its expertise in handling complex projects. The successful transportation of the cargo is a testament to Livo Logistics‘s capabilities and reinforces its position as a leading provider of logistics solutions in Italy.

A member of the Project Logistics Alliance representing Canada, Falcon International demonstrated their outstanding capabilities by handling a shipment of 16 components weighing 240 tons in total.

Alexander Global Logistics, a member of the Project Logistics Alliance from Germany, was appointed by Çamsan Ordu Ağaç San. ve Tic. A.Ş. to deliver eight different pieces of equipment from Lebach, Germany, to Ordu, Turkey. The cargo consisted of

• Six frames weighing 39.5 tons with the dimension of 6.5 x 5.35 x 0.75 meters
• Plunger weighing 44.5 tons with a measurement of 6.4 x 3 x 1.2 meters
• Table weighing 27.5 tons measuring 6.4 x 3 x 0.8 meters

Under the Free Carrier term, the equipment was gathered from Lebach and transported by road to the Dillingen/Saar port. It was then loaded onto a barge and shipped to the Port of Antwerp. To move the six over-width frames from Lebach to the Dillingen/Saar port, special road permits were necessary, which typically take around three to four weeks to obtain. However, in order to meet the loading deadline at the Port of Antwerp, the permit needed to be secured within two weeks.

Despite the narrow time frame, Alexander Global Logistics' team efficiently processed the permit, which was approved well before the two-week deadline. Even though it might have seemed impossible to execute a just-in-time delivery given these circumstances, the company's broad expertise once more demonstrated its ability to handle such situations adeptly, thereby proving that the problem was not a challenge.

In mid-December, the cargo arrived in Antwerp, and the vessel was scheduled to depart by the end of the month. At Antwerp, Alexander Global Logistics oversaw the reloading process and subsequently transported the cargo via sea to Gemlik. The equipment was reloaded once more to be conveyed on a trailer as per the Delivered at Place terms, to reach its final destination in Ordu.

Congratulations to the team at Alexander Global Logistics and we wish them success on their future endevours!

The transformers and accessories were intended for use in an electrical transmission system operated by the Georgian government. The shipment included four larger transformers measuring 8 x 4 x 4.6 meters and weighing 135 tons each, as well as three smaller transformers weighing 91 tons each and measuring 6 x 3.3 x 4.69 meters. To meet the client's request, the team at Gianti developed a jack and slide solution that involved using hydraulic turntables to rotate the transformers into place.
