ODC-to-OOG & Beyond.
Conventional shipping approaches often struggle to accommodate oversized and out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo. At Sarjak Container Lines, our expertise lies in navigating the intricacies of these unique shipments, ensuring the safe and efficient delivery of your project's vital components.
A recent project aboard our multipurpose heavylift vessel SCL Mercury, serves as a testament to our commitment to unparalleled service. Tasked with transporting a massive Power Transformer and its accompanying parts, measuring a staggering 27.2 meters in length, 5.4 meters in width, and 7.6 meters in height, our mission spanned from Derince Port, Turkey, to its destination in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
With a total volume of 487 cubic meters and the heaviest component weighing in at 102 metric tons, traditional containerised shipping was inadequate. Planning is the cornerstone of our success at Sarjak Container Lines.
To ensure the cargo's safe journey aboard our vessel, the SCL Mercury, our team devised a solution focused on two critical areas:Intercarting: This innovative method involved strategically arranging multiple flatbed trailers to precisely match the Power Transformer's dimensions and weight distribution. Advanced spatial control algorithms optimised the loading sequence, minimising hazards during vessel-assisted lifting onto the SCL Mercury.
Stevedoring: Maximising space utilisation within the vessel was paramount. Our stevedoring experts meticulously planned the positioning of the cargo within the ship's hold, guaranteeing optimal weight distribution for enhanced stability.
Strategic lashing, securing, and dunnage provided additional support, while specialised "hot work procedures" ensured secure points within the hold, further safeguarding the cargo's immobility throughout the journey.
The successful transport of the Power Transformer underscores our dedication to exceeding expectations in OOG cargo transportation, achieved aboard the SCL Mercury.
This endeavour exemplifies our ability to devise tailored project logistics solutions for any oversized cargo, regardless of complexity.
From planning to advanced stevedoring techniques and stringent safety protocols, we ensure your oversized cargo reaches its destination securely and expeditiously.
