Carriage of goods by sea is one of the major strengths of 5 Oceans Logistics. Whether your consignment fits the container or is break bulk cargo with heavy and out of gauge specifications, it can be shipped by sea as long as versatile maritime transport exists.
Containerized cargo is often an easy and straightforward shipment, yet when it comes to seasonal busy times such as Christmas in Europe and Chinese New Year in Asia, the bookings are often reserved well ahead of the actual shipment date, and booking a slot for a container then becomes a challenge. As a result, some of the container bookings are rolled back by a week or so, causing significant delays and disruption in companies’ supply chains. To avoid letting this happen to our clients, 5 Oceans Logistics applies a carefully crafted time management and planning scheme.
In terms of project cargo, rolling stock, cars, trailers, bulldozers, crawling and wheeled equipment, locomotives, or static equipment for the oil & gas industry, all can be shipped by different maritime services such as ro-ro liner service, break bulk service or container liner service.
Every shipment is unique and requires detailed analysis of a number of factors before selection of the most appropriate and efficient method of sea transport. In some cases, shipment of a 90-ton unit is possible by means of container liner service instead of break bulk vessel service. The container terminals may not have lifting equipment capable of handling such weight; however, neighbouring terminals can sometimes lease a floating crane with sufficient lifting capacity to execute the loading of heavy cargo onboard a container vessel. Of course, such a solution would increase the handling cost at the port of loading, but the company will ultimately save significantly on overall transport budget.
5 Oceans Logistics offers a large pool of professional resources and competent managers to oversee the delivery of your cargo by sea in the safest, most efficient and most cost-effective way possible.
