How Did Total Movements Execute the Transport of These Oversized Units?
PT Total Movements International, a trusted member of the XLProjects Network (XLP), recently completed a complex project logistics operation involving the door-to-port transportation of approximately 2,200 cubic meters of Klin Shells. These oversized units were destined for a major steel plant project in the Persian Gulf region.
The transport began at the supplier’s factory and concluded at a southern Indian port, covering roughly 800 kilometers. The entire scope, from cargo pickup to port delivery, was handled by Total Movements’ in-house logistics team.
What Were the Primary Challenges in This Project Cargo Movement?
The transport of these dimensionally critical units required overcoming multiple logistical hurdles. With a substantial cargo diameter of 7 meters, the operation necessitated:
- Specialized hydraulic axles for movement
- Enroute civil works to modify infrastructure
- Shutdown of high- and low-tension power lines
- Clearance of dense tree cover
- Cross-state coordination across the 800-kilometer route
These challenges were addressed through meticulous planning, route surveys, and collaboration with local authorities, reinforcing Total Movements’ reputation for tackling high-stakes project cargo with precision and reliability.
“This project underlines our ability to design and implement customized transport solutions under difficult conditions.”
What Was the Strategic Importance of This Shipment?
Delivering these Klin Shells was critical to the schedule of a major steel plant development in the Persian Gulf. The timely movement of this large, out-of-gauge cargo was essential to keeping the construction timeline on track. By successfully completing this delivery, Total Movements further demonstrated its capability to handle high-volume, high-impact project logistics on an international scale.
