Refinery Project EPC
BLA was appointed to transport over 94, 055 freight tons. From March 2014-February2015, moving from Shanghai to Philippines. Shipments were separated in 12 lots by break bulk vessels, including heavy units of over 100MT.
Client Profile:
A state-owned EPC, engineering and consultation company.
Client Relationship:
Undertaking customs clearance, receiving cargo in port, ocean freight – complete door to door service
Challenges Faced:
- BLPL staff had to be on standby at port to check the shipments due to complex nature and scale.
- Various suppliers sent shipments without plans so BLPL staff waited in port for imminent shipments and arranged cargo in port itself
- Supplier had no export experience and so they had no idea of how to pack safely. BLPL staff visited supplier and gave suggestions and advice on packing.
- We checked the packing once cargo arrived in port, and found certain packing unsatisfactory. We gave notice to client to amend packing in order for safe sailing.
