What Project Cargo Operation Was Completed by BTL Global?

BTL Global Co., Ltd., a member of the XLProjects Network (XLP), recently completed the transportation of a heavy ship engine from Ulsan, South Korea, to Nantong, China.

The time-critical project cargo measured 11.875 M × 8.48 M × 12.121 M and weighed 490.629 tons. The shipment traveled approximately 480-500 nautical miles from Hyundai Heavy Industry’s shipyard in Ulsan to Nantong.

What Challenges Did BTL Global Face?

The cargo’s exceptional height of 12.121 M made securing a suitable vessel particularly challenging. As the shipment was time-critical, BTL Global needed to quickly arrange a vessel capable of handling the oversized engine while meeting the customer’s required delivery schedule.

Through close cooperation with the shipowner, BTL Global urgently secured a suitable vessel that had originally been scheduled to call at another terminal. This solution enabled the company to complete the shipment without delay.

How Did Network Collaboration Support the Project?

BTL Global has worked with several XLProjects Network (XLP) partners on project and out-of-gauge cargo movements from South Korea. This experience within the global project network supports the company’s ability to coordinate specialized project logistics and heavy-lift operations.
