Royal Cargo Vietnam Deliver Huge Breakbulk Project to Australia

Royal Cargo Vietnam Deliver Huge Breakbulk Project to Australia
Royal Cargo Vietnam Deliver Huge Breakbulk Project to Australia

In August, Royal Cargo Vietnam carried out three major breakbulk shipments for the same project, totalling over 15,500cbm of heavy lift and oversized cargo bound for Australia.

The team handled the entire process from factory transportation from multiple sites to port handling and vessel loading under tight sailing schedules, underscoring Royal Cargo's expertise in coordinating simultaneous large-scale logistics operations.

The multi-shipment project tested every aspect of planning, coordination, and execution. The cargo originated from multiple factories and loading points, including one in Hai Phong and three fabrication sites in the Phu My area, with each location presenting its own challenges. Some pieces had unconventional dimensions that required specialised lifting and stowage plans, while others faced tight readiness timelines that pushed loading windows to the limit.

At Phu My, the team worked in strict factory conditions, handling complex components requiring meticulous planning and execution. Meanwhile, in Hai Phong, some of the cargo was not ready when the vessel arrived, prompting swift coordination among surveyors, port teams, and vessel agents to remain on schedule.

Despite these hurdles, Royal Cargo Vietnam maintained full control, ensuring all three shipments were executed safely, efficiently, and on schedule - a reflection of strong preparation, communication, and adaptability.

The shipments covered two major ports in Vietnam before the final discharge in Henderson, Australia. The first leg at Hai Phong Port involved the loading of 118 packages of 'thickeners' in mid-August, followed by operations at Phu My Port, where 190 packages of pipe racks, structural steel, and steel mixer settlers were loaded towards the end of the month.

In total, the project consisted of 308 packages, with a combined volume of 15,748.90cbm and a weight of 2,144.052mtn. The primary challenge stemmed from numerous oversized components requiring specialised rigging, transportation, and securing methods.

  • Thickeners: 3,773.19m³
  • Pipe Racks & Structural Steel: 5,742.00m³
  • Steel Mixer Settlers: 6,233.70m³
