XLP member, Star Shipping Pakistan, recently carried out an inspection survey of ten OOG Girders ranging from 24 meters to 29 meters long during the first week of August, 2020. 

Their client gave them the technical task of surveying a break-bulk shipment consisting of extra-long and over gauge steel structure units at Karachi Port, destined to be delivered to Karachi Shipyard, Pakistan. The shipment comprised of 32 packages, including ten over-gauge & heavy girders. The total freight was 2,458.70 tons. 

The shipment was discharged and received under hook at the Karachi Port in safe condition.
