Vantage Successfully Handled An Oversized Mechanical Equipment Shipment For KPO Kazakhstan Project

08/11/2021

Project Information

The shipment includes 14 packages of oversized mechanical equipment with a total gross weight of 34,256 tons, of which the largest package has dimensions up to 14.45m x 4.32m x 4.38.

In this project, Vantage Logistics is responsible for inland trucking, port charge and loading attendance. Accordingly, Vantage Logistics will receive goods from the seller’s factory and deliver directly to the wharf at SITV port (Saigon International Port Vietnam) to save costs instead of unloading at the yard in the port (indirect delivery).

As expected, the vessel will dock on October 21-22, so the pick-up plan is fixed on October 21. However, on the afternoon of Sunday, October 17, Vantage received a NOA from the agent that the vessel will dock on the morning of October 18 and request to load the shipment in charge by Vantage on board firstly (on the afternoon of October 18).

Because of the sudden change in the delivery plan, Vantage Project team tried to race against time to adjust the plan, arrange with the factory, mobilize the means of transportation and personnel in charge to ensure timely delivery according to the new schedule.

With the efforts of Vantage Project team, on the evening of October 18, all 14 packages of this shipment were safely and promptly delivered to the ship.
