Challenges:
•This was complete industrial plant relocation. JSL provided feasibility study to client almost 8 months prior to actual shipment delivery date.
•Main challenge was exporting this full plant ex Qatar was due to multiple owners. Many owners changed and most of material procured locally & from turkey & UAE. Due to multiple owns for the factory, original shipping documents were missing. Biggest challenge was to authenticate the ownership and generated export documents.
•JSL Global worked out with multiple government agency and put up this full case to concerned authorities. After 6 weeks rigorous follow up, Qatar concerned authorities approved this export.
•Due to COVID/Pandemic freight rates for special equipment like Open top & flat rack were quite high. JSL Global filed special rate with Hapag Lloyed & Maersk and managed to move 47+ special equipment ex Qatar to Romania.
•Due to Russia-Ukraine war, breakbulk rates were too high and client had very strict budget to follow. Freight rates changed multiple time but JSL asked client to wait for right vessel operator and right timing. JSL finalized Europe based vessel owners and made this possible with committed budgeted figures.
•Police escort & route survey were key factors this project considering long pieces 28 meter & 32 meter. JSL Project team planned to place 2 girders on multi axel trailer after several meeting with heavy lift haulier. JSL managed police escort with most suitable road due to FIFA ongoing work. After loading cargo at Qatar site, when JSL moved this on road it was 112 meter long convoy + police escort vehicles. JSL Project team & Q-Terminal worked 3 days continuously and supervised safe offloading of cargo inside Hamad port & then loaded on MV Rudolf breakbulk vessel.
•As shipping term were door to door, JSL Project team member visited Constanta before vessel reaching Constanta port. Due to heavy vessel traffic at Romania port due to ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, JSL had to take special approval from concerned authorities for priority berthing.
•To ensure cargo Transported & handled safely during voyage & during offloading, JSL did 3rd party cargo survey and checked all cargo personally.
•After import customs formalities, full shipment delivered to client within 1 week time to avoid any port storage etc. JSL managed this difficult plant relocation possible and delivery all cargo safely to client’s Romania site.
Congratulations to them for their excellent job!
