Realogistics received a complex request involving the export of a batch of tire production line equipment weighing up to 61 tons from Shanghai to the Port of Casablanca in Morocco.
Request Details:
- Type of Transport: Breakbulk Transport
- Mode of Transport: Sea Freight
- Transport Route: Shanghai Port - Casablanca
Operational Challenges:
1. Nature of the Cargo: The primary cargo consists of tire production line equipment, with individual pieces weighing up to 61 tons and requiring specific loading methods.
2. Loading Requirements: The cargo must be laid flat without stacking in the hold to prevent damage due to packaging breakage.
3. Communication Difficulties: Most breakbulk transport terms set by shipowners stipulate that cargo must be stackable, leading to significant barriers in communication with shipping companies. Both the seller and buyer firmly opposed any stacking requirements that could lead to packaging damage, resulting in continuous delays in the shipment schedule.
Solutions:
1. Vessel Selection: After evaluation, Realogistics decided to seek MPP (Multipurpose Cargo Vessel) types capable of meeting the client's specific needs and engaged in in-depth negotiations with relevant shipowners.
2. Reaching Consensus: In discussions with shipowners, Realogistics strictly adhered to the non-stackable standard required by the client, ensuring that the loading requirements could be met.
3. Loading Supervision: During the loading process, Realogistics arranged for 24-hour supervision to ensure real-time monitoring of the securing and fastening of each item to guarantee safety.
4. Contract Signing: Realogistics promptly signed a contract with the shipowner to confirm the loading requirements and secure the space.
5. Shipping Outcome: With careful planning and implementation, the cargo was ultimately shipped successfully, receiving high praise and unanimous positive feedback from the client.
