Multimodal steel transportation

icon
Task:

To organize the delivery of steel sheets from East Asia to Russia, ensuring maximum safety and stability of the cargo along the entire route. The cargo was notable for its considerable weight, high packing density and sensitivity to deformations during the transportation. It was necessary to choose the optimal route and eliminate any risks of metal damage.

Solution:

Our team carried out a detailed analysis of the cargo parameters, as well as all stages of the route, including loading, reloading and unloading. Based on this, the following measures were implemented.

  • Route: A multimodal transportation option was chosen - marine transportation to a port in Russia, followed by railroad delivery to the customer's warehouse. This approach ensured cost-effectiveness and stable date of conveyance.
  • Individual lashing plan: Taking into account the weight, dimensions and mechanical-and-physical properties of steel, our specialists have developed a unique scheme for loading and fixing cargo spaces. Were had all bases covered: ‒ special gaskets between the sheets to prevent displacement and deformation;
    ‒ reinforced fasteners that are resistant to vibrations and fluctuations on the railway;
    ‒ load distribution, taking into account the characteristics of each vehicle.
  • Control at all stages: The transportation process was accompanied by technical supervision, and control points were monitored in real time.

icon Result:

The cargo was delivered unharmed, without damage and violations of the geometry of the sheets. Due to a carefully well-thought-out route and an engineering approach to mounting, the client received a metal completely ready for use in the production cycle.
