Go Gauge Projects have successfully executed a breakbulk shipment of a telescopic crane (Wumag WT 850).

The crane was shipped from Turkiye to Nhava Sheva, India. The overall scope of work from Go Gauge Projects included factory collection, secure warehouse storage in Turkiye, customs clearance, cargo survey, and ocean freight from Tekirdağ to Nhava Sheva.

Measuring 16m x 4m and weighing 50mtn, the crane required engineered lifting and sea fastening solutions. The Go Gauge engineering team developed a lifting plan with centre of gravity calculations and a tailored sea fastening arrangement, enabling timely approvals and a safe execution.

Go Gauge commented that the challenges and risk mitigations included:

Suspension of Regular Vessel Calls

• Risk: Delays due to disruption of services.
• Mitigation: Continuous monitoring and identification of alternative vessel options.

Limited Vessel Availability

• Risk: Extended lead time.
• Mitigation: Strategic shift to container vessel with engineered loading approval.

Absence of Standard Lifting Points

• Risk: Handling and safety concerns.
• Mitigation: Custom lifting design with validated COG & Pre-Lashing Plan.

Rejection of Initial Lifting Plan

• Risk: Approval delays.
• Mitigation: Technical optimisation aligned with carrier requirements.

This project demonstrates Go Gauge Projects' strength in executing complex OOG shipments through engineering-led solutions and precise coordination.
