Express Global Logistics (EXG) executes the world's biggest single shipment of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS)

The rapid expansion of renewable energy is transforming project logistics, demanding innovative engineering solutions for the transportation of large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) cargo. Demonstrating its engineering expertise and end-to-end execution capabilities, Express Global Logistics (EXG), member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, successfully executed the world's biggest single shipment of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), transporting 300 BESS units (approximately 1.66 GWh) on a single vessel and setting a new benchmark in renewable energy logistics.

The project involved the transportation of 300 BESS units with a total cargo weight of 13,454 ton and a total volume of 12,832 cbm through a Full Charter Deck Carrier Vessel, moving the cargo from the eastern coast of China to western India for delivery to one of the world's largest hybrid clean energy projects. The project represents one of the most significant renewable energy logistics operations undertaken on a single voyage.

The project also marked the first-ever deployment of a Deck Carrier Vessel for large-scale BESS transportation, establishing a new benchmark for renewable energy logistics.

EXG managed the complete engineering and logistics execution, from advanced marine calculations, engineering approvals, and voyage planning to full charter vessel operations, synchronized port handling, customs clearance, and final site delivery. The scope included technical assessments, stability analysis, deck strength calculations, stowage planning, lashing engineering, marine coordination, customs clearance, port handling, ocean transportation, inter-carting, and door delivery.

As the vessel was not equipped with conventional container shoes, EXG engineered a customized cargo securing solution, including complete lashing arrangements, sea-fastening methodology, and deck configuration specifically designed to meet Marine Warranty Surveyor (MWS) and insurance requirements. Comprehensive deck strength calculations, specialized cargo securing systems, and detailed engineering assessments ensured the safe transportation of hazardous BESS cargo throughout the ocean voyage, even under demanding sea conditions.

Upon arrival at India's western maritime gateway, EXG executed synchronized discharge operations, customs clearance, inter-carting, and final inland transportation using its specialized hydraulic trailer fleet. The shipment was delivered safely and efficiently to one of the world's largest hybrid clean energy projects, ensuring seamless last-mile connectivity for all 300 BESS units while maintaining the highest standards of operational safety and precision.

This landmark project showcases EXG's ability to combine engineering excellence, marine expertise, specialized heavy transport assets, and integrated project logistics to deliver complex, high-value renewable energy cargo safely, efficiently, and at an unprecedented scale. By executing the world's biggest single shipment of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and delivering it to one of the world's largest hybrid clean energy projects, EXG continues to support the global energy transition through innovative logistics solutions that move the world's most critical infrastructure with precision, safety, and reliability.
