Customer had been having issue finding a reliable outsourced provider who can handle end to end, out of gauge project shipment.
Providers come with limited experience in specialized operations such as lashing, lifting, and transporting oversized and out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo or they can only handle a part of the total door to door service the customer is looking for, including minimal expertise in customs clearance procedures for OOG cargo.
Solution
Route & Cargo Assessment: Conducted detailed route surveys from pick-up to port, assessed cargo dimensions, condition, and protective materials.
Procedure Development: Researched and implemented best practices for lashing, packaging, suitable transportation equipment, and fumigation of packaging materials and interiors.
Customs Compliance: Analyzed customs procedures and consulted with customs officials to ensure seamless clearance, minimizing the risk of unpacking during port inspections.
Results
Safe & Efficient Transport: Successfully and safely moved cargo from the pick-up location to the port.
Optimized Lashing Methods: Ensured compliance with liner standards while protecting cargo integrity all the way to door.
Streamlined Customs Process: Avoided delays and ensured timely shipment by aligning with liner closing schedules.
