Project Logistics Alliance is delighted to announce that Total Movements, representing Indonesia, has completed a project involving the transportation of over-dimensional cargo (ODC) and heavy lifts to a petrochemical refinery site in the eastern part of India.

Total Movements was responsible for transporting the cargo, which included two crystallizers and a dehydration tower, by both sea and road. The shipment began at the port of loading on India’s west coast and ended at the refinery site in eastern India. The process involved receiving the cargo at the loading port, shipping it to the east coast, unloading it onto a hydraulic axle trailer, and then transporting it by road to the refinery.

The multi-modal shipment posed several challenges:

• The large dimensions of the cargo made direct road transportation unfeasible. 
• No domestic flag vessel was available for sea transport.  
•  Civil works were required at the port of discharge due to the cargo's large size. 
• An 800-meter bypass had to be constructed on the final leg from the nearest port to the site.  
• An electrical shutdown was necessary along the route.

Despite these challenges, the Total Movements team successfully delivered the ODCs on time, thanks to detailed planning and continuous follow-up. The seamless execution of this project demonstrated the reliability and professionalism of the Total Movements team. Well done team Total Movements!
