For the heavy lifts, on-carriage to site was arranged on multi-axle trailers after temporary storage on elephant legs and beams so as to be in coordination with the plant site readiness and receiving management.

All deliveries were executed well within the required time frames and with zero untoward incidents.

For the second year in a row the Global Project Logistics Network has shown its commitment to Breakbulk Asia. Breakbulk Asia is the largest and most important gathering in Asia for companies involved in the shipping of heavy-lift, project cargo and traditional breakbulk cargoes. It is where shippers have the opportunity to meet and develop relationships with the leading specialized carriers, forwarders, ports, terminals and packers who have the expertise and resources to handle oversized cargoes with unique handling requirements. Exhibitors include the world’s major carriers, forwarders and ports that handle specialized heavy-lift, project and breakbulk cargoes. The Breakbulk Asia event is an outgrowth of the Breakbulk Conference and Exhibition held in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the southern part of the United States since 1989 and the Breakbulk Europe event held in Antwerp since 2006. In addition to a bustling exhibition floor, Breakbulk Asia featured a two-day conference with top speakers addressing the theme "Charting the Recovery".

Ticona Project: Two shore cranes offloading steel rack

projectcargologistics — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 01:01:56 +0000

Europe Cargo was approached for the reception in Antwerp ex geared coaster up to barged to Fluor Terminal Frankfurt, Germany. The vessel, MV Jumbo Vision loaded in Punta Cugno, Italy and sailed from Punta Cugno port. The project consisted of 37 pieces of preassembled steel rack (858.303 mt / 14,095.695 m3), two cases of lifting equipment (2,276 mt / 6 m3) and eight pieces of lifting equipment (adjustable spreader bars / extenders: 7478 mt / 18 m3).

Europe Cargo’s supervisor reported that the cargo was loaded under deck as well as on deck. On Europe Cargo’s instructions, the crew unlashed the chains and unwelded stoppers and D-rings upon arrival at the Antwerp port.

The cargo was unloaded at the Europe Cargo terminal with specialized and necessary stevedore lifting equipment (extenders – easily adjustable) and by two Gottwald motorized mobile cranes with capacities of 100 mt (not by ship’s gear due to outreach and storage onto the shore and two cranes instead of one due to length of the cargo).

Due to the large storage area required, MV Jumbo Vision had to shift 40 m. Europe Cargo jointly surveyed unloading operations with the receiver’s appointed surveyors. Europe Cargo also arranged customs clearance in Antwerp. After unloading, necessary repairs and cleaning of the frames was arranged and took several days. When this was completed Europe Cargo ordered and arranged loading of four barges (110 m x 45 m) for the inland transport via Rhine river to the final Frankfurt site.

Europe Cargo’s professional expertise in the project was highly appreciated by the receivers’ engineers!

Cory Logistics transports redundant Steel Mill Equipment in Sheffield to be sent to India via the Port of Hull

projectcargologistics — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 07:16:46 +0000

Cory Logistics, GPLN member in the United Kingdom, have been busy in the ‘home of stainless steel’ in 2009 and will continue to work through 2010. The first phase moving is a softener and de-scaler line from a redundant Sheffield Steel mill to its new home in India.

The steel industry in Sheffield dated back to the 14th Century. By the turn of the new century the Sheffield economy diversified and it is Cory Logistics who has been employed to remove and ship part of this manufacturing plant to India.

This project has been jointly operated with Canadian SCAC, and will move a total one hundred and forty 40’ high cube containers and a total of four thousand five hundred freight

tons as break bulk. Individual pieces can be more than 12 meters in length and can be up to 5 meters wide weighing more than 30 tons.

Mark Harding Commercial Director has been involved from the beginning and described how he pooled resources within Cory Logistics to create a dedicated project team. Mark said, “We have all the capabilities under one roof, planning has been complex and challenging”, but maintained that Cory’s will continue to offer a competitive advantage to create small teams of dedicated experts in their field.

“We have had one person negotiating space allocation on container ships, another discussing the safe securing of out of gauge cargo and its movement in relation to UK road restrictions,

whilst a third person is chartering a vessel to carry four thousand five hundred freight tons!”

The containers are moving through Felixstowe whilst the break bulk cargo will be transported by specialist equipment to the Port of Hull for shipment to Chennai, where it will be collected and delivered to site.
