Project Information

Successful Transportation of 3 Shipments For Pensacola Wind Power ProjectVantage Project has just successful transported 3 shipments for the wind power project in America.

– Project: Pensacola Wind Power Project

– Commodity: equipment (pitch o-bearing ring)

– Vantage’s Scope: tarpaulin wrap, pick up, loading attendance.

1^st Shipment:

– Volume: 20 crates, gross weight 9.5 tons/crate, total weight 190 tons, dimension 2.82mL x 2.82mL x 1.3mL/crate
– Shipment time: 31th May 2021 to 3 June 2021

The highlighted point of this shipment is that the crates were originally made for forklift handling and not for any crane handling, but the ship loading request to be done by crane and this discrepancy was only raised just very close to vessel arrival date.

In order to keep up with vessel schedule (which is very hard to secure space during this period of time and a delay or cancel may mean that an amount of deadfreight must be paid and shipment can be delay for several weeks), the factory did not have enough time to re-pack, Vantage’s technical staff coordinated with the factory to urgently work out the solution to enforce the package with L-steel bar and involve beams and frame in crane loading, to ensure safety of cargo. The shipment was safely loaded matched with schedule.

2^nd Shipment:

– Volume: 30 crates, gross weight 9.5 tons/crate, total weight 285 tons, dimension 2.82mL x 2.82mL x
– Shipment time: 12 – 15 June 2021

3^rd Shipment:

– Volume: 30 crates, gross weight 9.5 tons/crate, total weight 285 tons, dimension 2.82mL x 2.82mL x
– Shipment time: 14 – 16 June 2021

For shipment 2 & 3, Vantage continues to apply the same solution for package enforcement and loading method. However, the Covid spread situation became serious, the factory imposed strict HSE control, our drivers had to stay in truck during the whole time truck pick up cargo. Besides, the tarpaulin wrapping must be done inside factory only with limit entrance and exit of equipment and workers. Vantage matched all the strict control and do not let these limits to affect the loading schedule.

In addition, the mobilization of vehicles for inland transport for both shipments with the number of up to 16 units is a difficult mission because of the scarcity of vehicles in this period, of which, 4-axle vehicle transporting 4 crates/vehicle, 3-axle vehicle transporting 3 crates/vehicle, Vantage has used its resources to ensure enough vehicles and deliver these goods as scheduled.
