Continued Mobilization of 32,000 DWT Chartered Vessel to Successfully Transport Equipment for Flat Top Wagons Project from Indonesia to New Zealand .
Vantage Logistics has again been selected as the trusted logistics partner for the next shipment in the ongoing Flat Top Wagons project series. This project further affirms our position as a reliable logistics provider specializing in complex, high-value project cargo. The cargo was transported via a full charter vessel solution from Surabaya, Indonesia to Dunedin, New Zealand.

Reliable Scheduling – Proactive, Detail-Oriented Solutions: With a strict deadline for cargo delivery in New Zealand, Vantage took a proactive approach to closely manage every phase of the shipment. We promptly resolved documentation and scheduling issues to ensure smooth coordination and on-time arrival.

Cost Optimization – Practical and Effective Execution: We provided a tailored full-charter shipping solution that not only met technical cargo requirements but also aligned with the client’s project budget—delivering real financial efficiency.

Technical Rigor – Safety as a Top Priority: Due to the sensitive nature of the cargo, our operations team coordinated daily with the client and technical specialists—holding 2 to 3 meetings per day—to finalize optimal loading and lashing plans.

Each lashing belt was thoroughly checked and strictly monitored to ensure complete safety during handling and transport.

On-Site Supervision at Surabaya Port – Indonesia
Vantage deployed an experienced site supervisor to be present on-site throughout the entire cargo loading, lashing, securing, and dunnage process—ensuring strict adherence to international safety and technical standards.

We acted as the central coordinator among all key stakeholders: the client, equipment suppliers, technical teams, and port authorities. Our hands-on coordination ensured smooth cargo pickup, port operations, sea transport, and discharge—executed exactly as scheduled.
