Challenging Turnkey Coastal project at Dahej/Mumbai Port on 13th January 2015. The cargo comprised of huge 110 MT Cranes and the entire responsibility of Barging/Loading/Custom Clearance/Port Agency/floating Cranes
On 17th June 2015, Seatech has executed yet another remarkable heavy cargo shipment from Port PARADIP to SOHAR. The equipment involved was a huge single piece Crane weighing 385 MT, with a dimension of 6.3 x 1,49 x 3,28 Mtrs. Putting the expertise and experience of Seatech crew into action, the Cargo was loaded on Vessel MV Happy Buccaneer with precise care and the shipment resulted into a great achievement and another feather on Seatech's cap.
Committed to delivering a range of quality assured marine services to clients across the globe, logistic specialist, Seatech Shipping & Projects (I) Pvt Ltd, executed a major turnkey project involving inland transportation of six transformers to four different destinations in Kenya on a turn key basis. The entire project consisting of transformers and accessories, admeasuring a total volume of 1419.9cbm having a gross weight of 741.564mt, the loading of the shipment on MV Hanren at Mumbai port took place on 10th April, 2013. It was unloaded at Mombasa and delivered to four different places in a record time.
Ensuring timely and safe delivery of cargoes to various destinations of the world has become the hallmark of Seatech, bringing into focus the well – coordinated and expertly laid out plans with constant monitoring throughout the entire passage of cargoes. Two transformers of equal dimension and weight on reaching Mombasa port were moved to Rabai around 12 kms away. Each unit weighing 90mt and measuring in mm L 1850 x W 4125 x H 3450 were meant for installation at the Rabai sub-station.
However 4 of the remaining transformers had to be transported by road over large distances across the Kenyan hinterland. It was a daunting and demanding task in such multi modal transport operation facing obstacles which are common and require ingenuity and presence of mind to come up with innovative solutions to overcome them. As is well known, road transport in Kenya and East African regions offer several challenges including poor infrastructure, inefficiency within the trucking industry and lack of access to necessary market information.
Despite this fact Seatech, coordinating with their local counterpart handled road haulage of one unit of 91 metric tons( 7.8 x 3.3 x 4.0) to Nairobi about 500 kms away in record time. Another one transformer of 65.5 metric tons (7.05 x 3.3 x 3.6) was shipped to Meru 727 kms away from Mombasa, and one each by road to Muhoroni and Eldoret weighing 91 metric tons each (7.8 x 3.3 x 4.0) which was approx 825 kms away from Mombasa port.
