Express Global Logistics (EXG) are pleased to share a report on their latest breakbulk movement involving large pipes from Southeast Asia to Bangladesh.

The transport consisted of 72 large pipes, with a combined weight of 3,400mtn and a total freight volume of 6,100cbm.

This impressive project involved meticulous planning and execution, divided into two strategic lots to ensure the safe, efficient handling and delivery of the cargo.

      Project Overview

Given the sheer volume and dimensions of the cargo, EXG devised an optimal plan to transport the shipment in two distinct lots.

The division of the shipment into two lots allowed for more streamlined handling, facilitating timely loading and transportation across international waters to Bangladesh.

      Expert Planning and Seamless Execution

EXG’s breakbulk desk ensured that the loading operations were not only safe but also conducted with precision, despite the large dimensions and weights of the pipes.

EXG demonstrated its operational flexibility, which allowed for optimised resource management and risk mitigation.

This method also facilitated greater control over cargo movements, leading to a safe, timely delivery despite the challenges of handling such a large and heavy load.

      Safe Loading and Efficient Execution

EXG’s operations team coordinated the cargo loading onto breakbulk vessels, ensuring safety protocols to prevent any damage or delays.

By ensuring a high standard of planning and on-the-ground execution, the team completed the process efficiently, maintaining a steady workflow throughout.

• Customs Clearance and Timely Handling

EXG’s team ensured smooth customs clearance and port handling in the dedicated time window, avoiding delays and ensuring operations ran smoothly.

• Minimising Downtime

EXG’s careful handling and resource allocation ensured that each lot was cleared and shipped according to schedule, minimising downtime at ports and preventing any disruptions to the client’s project timeline.

This level of precision highlights EXG’s commitment to operational excellence and client satisfaction.

      Uncertainty at POD

During the second lot’s transportation, there was a period of unrest at the POD , which created an uncertain environment.

This situation posed potential challenges for timely delivery and required careful planning to navigate disruptions in key transportation routes

Despite the difficult circumstances, EXG’s team maintained close coordination and monitored the situation constantly.

By strategically planning and adjusting routes, the team ensured the cargo was delivered safely and without delays, staying true to EXG’s commitment to its clients.

      Heavy Rainfall During Transport

Adverse weather conditions, particularly heavy rain, posed significant ring the inland transportation phase.

The team relied on weather forecasts to plan the optimal timing for vehicle movements, ensuring that operations proceeded during more favorable conditions.

Despite the heavy rainfall, EXG carefully coordinated the transport to avoid delays, further demonstrating its operational efficiency and attention to detail in unpredictable weather scenarios.

      Civil Work

EXG carried out minor civil work during transit to ensure the smooth passage of the cargo.

This involved filling potholes along the route, preventing any potential disruptions and ensuring that the heavy vehicles transporting the pipes could move safely and efficiently.

This proactive approach further exemplified EXG’s commitment to delivering cargo with precision, even in challenging conditions.
