TSL Australia discharge 12 breakbulk units at Port Kembla

In late July, TSL Australia completed the discharge of 12 oversized breakbulk units at Port Kembla, shipped from Phu My in Vietnam on a part-charter vessel.

The cargo totaled 2,400cbm, with units reaching up to 7m in height and width, and the heaviest weighing 52mt. These dimensions demanded over-height port access, specialized rigging, and meticulous vessel-to-truck coordination.

During the operations, pontoons had to be repositioned, rigging methods reworked, all without pausing the discharge.

The clock ticked on to 15 hours before the last lift touched the quay, but the flow never broke. Seven units rolled out the same day, while four tank sections were staged securely overnight and delivered the next morning.
