Express Global Logistics transporting ODC columns in India

Express Global Logistics (EXG), a member of the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, successfully executed a complex multimodal movement in two barge trips of eight over-dimensional ODC Columns with a total shipment weight of approximately 905.6 tons.

A company spokesperson explained: “While handling heavy cargoes is routine for our experienced project team, this project posed a unique challenge due to the extreme dimensions, with units reaching up to 57.0 meters in length and 5.7 meters in height, requiring specialized transport engineering, route planning, and execution control. The project involved tight manoeuvring, extreme cargo dimensions, tidal dependencies, night operations, and multi-agency coordination. EXG addressed these challenges through engineered planning, real-time coordination, and securing all necessary permissions from the relevant authorities. Detailed route surveys and civil modifications were also carried out to facilitate safe transit of these cargoes.”
