Multimodal movement of ODCs heavy lifts for a petrochemical refinery in East India

Total Movements, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, arranged for the coastal shipping and road transportation of two Crystallizers and a Dehydration Tower from the load ports on the West Coast of India up to the refinery site in eastern India.

Receiving the cargo at the designated load ports on the Western Coast, coastal shipping up to the discharge port on the eastern coast, discharging the cargo onto the hydraulic axle trailer combinations and road transportation to the refinery demanded the skills of Total Movements project experts for the complete scope.

The key highlights of this challenging multimodal move included:

• Large dimensions rendering the cargo unfit for direct road transportation.
• Unavailability of domestic flag vessel which can move the cargo by sea.
• Civil works within the discharge port due to large cargo dimensions.
• Bypass building of 800meters in the last mile road from nearest port to site.
• Electrical shutdown required in the enroute.

With detailed planning and continuous follow up, our team delivered these critical ODCs well in time.
