The operation involved a
complex logistical journey, as road routes were impassable for cargo of this
size and weight. Total Movements opted for coastal shipping,
chartering a super heavy lift vessel and converting it to an Indian-flagged
vessel to meet regulatory requirements.
The oversized cargo, measuring 35.1 x 9.35 x 9.05 metres, required
meticulous planning and coordination.
Total Movements’ team executed seamless double banking operations at both the
load and discharge ports, adhering to strict Marine Warranty Surveyor
standards.
The cargo was loaded in Mumbai
and shipped onboard the 25,240 dwt heavy lift vessel Cerulean to the port of
Haldia. The cargo will be delivered to the Numaligarh
Refinery project, which is undergoing an upgrade. Once completed, the
facility’s refining capacity will be boosted from 3 MMTPA to 9 MMTPA.
