Total Movements delivers Super OD cargo for Greenfield LNG Plant in India

Total Movements, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India,  successfully delivered a Super OD Solid Stainless Steel Recondenser with a diameter of more than 7 meter for a LNG Regasification Terminal on the east coast of India.

The extremely complex movement involved multiple transportation legs as follows:
1. Road Transportation from the factory to nearby Jetty 
2. Barge Transportation from Jetty to Nearest Major Seaport on the West Coast of India.
3. Sea Transportation by Heavy Lift vessel from load port to discharge port on the east coast of India.
4. Road Transportation from Discharge port to site.
Major challenges encountered during the operation were:
1. Mobilization of a great number of equipment to complete each leg
2. Synchronization of multiple transportation legs
3. Getting a suitable coastal tonnage in time for breakbulk shipping
4. Lack of prior track record of handling a heavy lift cargo at discharge port
A spokesperson for Total Movements said: “We are happy to have delivered this cargo safely. A big shout out to all the stakeholders involved who played a key role to make this operation a grand success.”
