Balena Projects, a member of the XLProjects network, coordinated the multimodal transport of two industrial Mixed Bed Towers from Brookshire, Texas, to Umm Qasr, Iraq. The project required precise coordination to handle the equipment’s weight and dimensions across both inland and maritime routes.
How Did Balena Projects Manage the Intermodal Operation?
Managing international project cargo demands end-to-end planning. Balena Projects directed the complete workflow, which covered heavy inland trucking, port transloading, customs clearance, and ocean transport to Iraq.
The team monitored every transfer point between Texas highways and the departure terminal, ensuring smooth operational transitions and eliminating transit delays for the cargo.
How Was the Cargo Secured for Maritime Transit?
The two Mixed Bed Towers had a combined weight of 17,400 kilograms (17.4 metric tons). To protect the high-value equipment during ocean transit, Balena Projects engineered custom cargo lashing and securing setups.
Specialists inspected and certified all lashing arrangements before sailing to ensure compliance with strict maritime strength standards, guaranteeing stability throughout the open-sea voyage.
