Transporting delicate cargo, particularly something immense, is no mean feat. Supply Chain provider Uniworld Logistics successfully leveraged its technical know-how and RoRo services to deliver a windmill from Chennai to Tianjin in China safely.
Uniworld recently clinched a project in the renewable energy space; acing the delivery of 28-meter long windmill blades from Egmore in Chennai to China.
The customized operation, comprised accommodating a telescopic trailer with the windmills onto a RoRo vessel. This was agreed to be safer than using traditional Lift on Lift Off vessels that carry windmills horizontally at least 10-20 meters above the ground.
“The project is a feather in the cap for Uniworld as no RoRo provider has handled break-bulk cargo of this size from Ennore Port in the past. Since India is more of an import market, identifying a suitable vessel was an uphill task. We were keen that the operational risk owing to lifting cargo of this immensity be reduced, therefore opting for a carrier that offered safe, under deck stowage”.
Mr Prem Kumar, Chairman and MD, Uniworld
The effort encompassed adhering to all safety compliances and precarious handling of the sensitive equipment through the shortest transit route; ensuring lashings and adherence to committed transit times and safe delivery from port to port and door to door.
“Moving mammoth items is a cumbersome exercise, entailing specialized carriers, apparatus and specialists- the logjam increases when multimodal solutions are needed to cover substantial distances through difficult territories. We have created a precedent by executing this project. Our extensive work in handling sensitive cargo has permitted us to establish ourselves as experts in the field“.
Ms Felicia Prem, Director (SCM), Uniworld
We were thrilled to provide the customer with a reliable solution; helping them minimize their operational and storage costs and not store their cargo for long in factory or port. Uniworld even won the 2019 Supply Chain and Logistics Achievement (SCALE) awards for the Best Freight Forwarder and Best Project Freight Forwarder for the successful execution of this effort.
