First Global and Europe Cargo Collaborate on Shipping of Dredger
14th May 2015
First Global Logistics (PCN members in Egypt established in 1998) and Europe Cargo (PCN members in Belgium established in 1992) have recently collaborated on the project cargo shipment of a dredger and its equipment from Alexandria to Antwerp. The dredger had finished its work at Sokhna port and all the parts and equipment had to be shipped back to its final destination in the Netherlands.
The project was divided into 2 jobs performed simultaneously in different ports of loading which wasn't an easy task but successfully accomplished by the 2 expert teams. The 1st job (via Grimaldi) took place at Alexandria port and involved two buckets loaded on 2 x 40' mafi's. The buckets had dimensions of 4 x 4.7 x 3.4m (38,000kgs) and 3.8 x 4.6 x 2.7m (29,000kgs). The team at Alexandria port handled the lashing & securing of the cargo, wood fumigation and all operations & port handling. Photos are shown below.
The 2nd job (via Hamburg-Sud) took place at Dekheila port and involved: 2 Boom Cylinders (19,200kgs, 6.5 x 0.7m each); 8 Bucket Teeth (650kgs each); 1 Guiding Sheave (19,950kgs, 1.2 x 0.2m); and 1 Stick Cylinder (15,500kgs, 5 x 0.5m). The cargo was loaded from low-bed trailers into 3 x 40' open-top containers. The team at Dekheila port handled the stuffing, lashing & securing of the cargo, fumigation inside the port and all operations and port handling.
