EXG Transports 3700+ Tons of Nuclear Power Equipment from China to India in Just 21 Days
In an impressive feat of logistics, Express Global Logistics (EXG), a member of the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, has successfully completed a high-stakes transportation project, moving over 3700 tons of nuclear power equipment from China to southern India in a record time of 21 days. This operation marks a significant milestone in the ongoing expansion of a nuclear power plant.
The journey began at Lushun Port in China, from where the equipment was shipped via break bulk ocean transport to Tuticorin Port in India. The shipment, comprising 36 pieces totaling 3708 freight tons, included equipment with maximum dimensions of 9 meters in length, 5.6 meters in width, and 5.7 meters in height, with individual pieces weighing up to 59 tons. The equipment was transported using heavy-duty multi-axle trailers, ensuring its safe and timely arrival at the designated site.
The logistics operation was carefully planned and executed, overcoming challenges such as vessel space shortages and geopolitical issues. Priority berthing and direct sailing were secured to ensure the swift transit of the cargo. The entire ocean transport phase was completed in just 21 days, demonstrating EXG’s efficiency and expertise in handling large-scale and sensitive shipments.
Upon reaching Tuticorin Port, the equipment underwent import customs clearance and port handling before being transported overland to the final destination. The 250-kilometer journey from the port to the job site utilized a combination of heavy-duty and low-bed multi-axle trailers, ensuring the safe delivery of the oversized and heavy equipment.
A spokesperson for EXG praised the team's meticulous planning and execution. Despite the challenging conditions, the company’s ability to adapt and meet the client's specific requirements was instrumental in the success of this project. The efficient handling of such a large volume of heavy and oversized equipment highlights EXG's commitment to excellence in logistics and its capacity to tackle complex projects under demanding circumstances.
