JSL Global moves Heavy Machine from UAE to South Africa

JSL Global, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) for Qatar, engaged the team of their project division for transporting one Tesmec Chain Trencher, weighing 105 ton and with dimensions of 11.10m x 4.40m x 4.22m from Jebel Ali via Dubai to Durban, South Africa .

This heavy machine is used for digging and is ideal for large-diameter pipelines work in hard and abrasive rock.
A special challenge was the sourcing of a direct sailing vessel via Europe to South Africa for such heavy piece why it was moved to Dubai as transshipment. While the machine was in transit the JSL team worked on a suitable RORO operator who could handle this heavy piece. Ramp capacity was a main challenge for most of the available RORO operators. This cargo was declined by many RORO operators due to the required ramp capacity and heavy weight of 105ton as a single piece.
RORO options was the desired solution due to much higher freight level for a Breakbulk vessel ex Dubai to Africa. The team of JSL Global managed to secure the desired transport solution and the cargo was loaded as planned.
