What was the scope of the project cargo shipment?
Cargomar, a member of XLProjects Network (XLP), recently executed a complex multimodal transportation project involving 12 oversized and heavy-duty cargo (ODC) pieces transported from Vietnam to India’s West Coast. Each piece required specialized handling due to its size and weight, highlighting the precision and expertise necessary for effective project logistics.
What challenges did the project face?
The shipment faced significant logistical hurdles, including road restrictions at both the port of loading (POL) and port of discharge (POD). These limitations required careful planning to ensure safe and timely delivery of all cargo.
How was the project executed?
To overcome these challenges, Cargomar deployed specialized trailers, chartered vessels, and double-banking barge operations. This multimodal approach allowed the team to navigate restricted roadways and ensure that all cargo pieces reached the discharge port efficiently. Support from FLS Vietnam was instrumental in coordinating the complex logistics, demonstrating the importance of reliable operational partners in project cargo management.
What role did network collaboration play?
As a member of XLProjects Network, Cargomar leveraged its network expertise and technical capabilities to manage the project efficiently. The collaboration with experienced logistics partners helped ensure smooth execution, highlighting how membership in a project network enhances the reliability of project cargo operations.
