WCA Projects
WCA Projects is an alliance comprising many of the world’s most experienced independent project forwarders
Schneider + Cie. AG, Basel, Switzerland was contracted to transport 4 large rollers from Italy in transit through Switzerland to Antwerp for loading on RoRo ocean vessel to Shanghai.
The project had the following dimensions:
1 top roller - 85.5 tons - 970x160x180 cm
1 bottom roller - 52.2 tons - 702x150x170 cm
2 side rollers - each 22.5 tons - 530x100x120 cm
The rollers were loaded by special trucks in Italy and transported through the Swiss Alps to Basel Rhine port, where they were discharged directly into the barge. The overweight top and bottom rolls had to be transported by police-escorted night drive through the St. Gotthard tunnel, which was closed for these transports.
In the Rhine port of Basel, the top roller was lifted by two tandem cranes, balanced, and safely loaded into the Rhine barge.
After arrival in Antwerp, all 4 rolls were successfully discharged on Mafi trailers for the final voyage by RoRo Vessel to China.
Schneider took care of the entire transport process, with permits, route costs, escorts and loading, Truck, Rhine vessel and Ocean-going vessel arrangements.
One of our many successfully executed projects.
