For unconventional cargo, such as coal, ore, grain, steel, machinery and equipment, engineering vehicles and electrical equipment and other ultra-conventional and oversized cargo, it cannot be loaded by ordinary containers and special containers, but only by bulk cargo ships. Carriage is collectively referred to as bulk transportation.
On November 5, 2021, our company was entrusted by the Abu Dhabi manufacturer to transport a batch of production equipment from Shanghai to Abu Dhabi. The cargo is named Plastic Injection Molding Machine (PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE WITH STANDARD SPARE PARTS). The cargo size is 432 cubic meters. The weight is 214 tons, the weight of a single part is 43/44 tons, and the value is 850,000 US dollars. On November 15, local manufacturers in Jiangsu will unload to Luojing Wharf overnight and other ships will berth and load. On November 20, the big ship berthed for unloading and loading on board. On December 5, the sea-going vessel carried 65,000 tons of different machinery and bulk cargo from Shanghai to Abu Dhabi.
Different types of bulky goods have different requirements for the types of ships and loading and unloading equipment that transport the goods. This determines that the logistics carrier must have rich industry resources and be able to meet the diverse needs of sellers. The cargo of this ticket is affected by the weight of a single piece, and it is transported by a heavy-lift ship. As the name suggests, a heavy-lift ship carries heavy cargo. The biggest difference is that it can load and unload cargo with its own equipment, which is also called a heavy cargo ship. Such as power generation equipment, chemical and oil refining equipment, drilling platforms, etc. These goods have in common that they are too heavy or too large or restricted by port conditions, and ordinary cargo ships cannot be loaded, unloaded or transported.
Compared with container transportation, bulk cargo ships have lower freight and port fees. It can ship the same batch of large quantities of goods at the same time and arrive at the destination port at the same time, which is very suitable for the transportation of large quantities of goods or the transportation of relocation goods of the entire engineering production line, which can shorten the transportation time and reduce the transportation cost.
