Nonpareil International Freight & Cargo Services in the Philippines are pleased to share a recently accomplished project in collaboration with fellow PCN member, PROLOG India as the chartered vessel provider.
The OOG breakbulk shipment was handled on a hook-to-hook basis from Manila in the Philippines to Chennai, India. The cargo consisted of 6 used metal working press machines with a total gross weight of 179,000kg.
The job scope handled by Nonpareil International included:
- Rigging out of the 6 machines inside the factory plant in Calamba, Laguna;
- Skidding of all machines to the loading area;
- Lifting to multi-axle trucks;
- Set-down, lashing, & securing;
- Transport to Manila Multipurpose Terminal (MMT) at Manila Port;
- Loading to the chartered vessel at the port.
The pre-operations plan for the implementation of the job scope included site survey at the factory plant for the rigging & skidding, identifying a suitable area for the loading activities, route survey for the transport from factory to port, and permits & clearance.
The equipment and materials used to execute the project included:
- Robotic dollies & crawler machines to remotely control the skidding;
- A 110tn crane, a 45tn crane and 16tn forklift for the loading;
- 4 low-bed multi-axle trailers;
- 1 flat-bed;
- Rigging tools and lashing, securing & dunnage materials.
The project cargo operations were completed within 5 days thanks to the careful planning and process meetings ensuring a smooth execution. The cargo arrived safely at the port in good time for the chartered vessel's arrival for loading.
