Protranser Handle Shipping of 6 Transformers to West Africa
19th November 2025
Protranser International Logistics recently shipped 6 sets of transformers from China to West Africa.
The weights of the transformer's main bodies range from 65tn to 86tn and they were shipped in different lots - 4 sets by RORO vessel from Wuhan and 2 sets by container vessel from Shanghai. As well as the main bodies, the transformer's parts were stuffed in 29 containers.
The scope of work from Protranser included:
- Picking up the cargo from the factory (Shanghai and Wuhan)
- Stuffing the parts in containers in warehouse
- Port services
- Booking and chartering
Leo Liu at Protranser comments; "In this case, the challenge we faced was the height of the transformers but we were successful with a smooth delivery thanks to our rich experience and close contact and coordination with all parties."
"The original height on the cargo drawing was below 4m - however, this was updated twice to 4.1m and then 4.15m. After loading onto MAFIs with dunnage, the height reached 4.98m with the height of the RORO vessel hold at 5m. We kept close contact with all parties about every new situation, and it was decided to arrange engineers to the port 2 days before shipping to remove the pressure gauges on the top of the main bodies to reduce the height sufficiently meaning all cargo was loaded onto the vessels successfully."
