What was the requirement?
The individual items were long and heavy enough that a standard forklift could not load them, and thin steel plates cannot be compressed or folded, so they needed all-round reinforcement to arrive undamaged.
What did the customer need?
- Load over-length, heavy steel items safely
- Reinforce the cargo so plates and coils could not shift in transit
- Coordinate factory stock preparation, trucking, loading and clearance
- Deliver to Jeddah port on a predictable schedule
What was the plan?
A yard loader was used instead of a forklift, the cargo was reinforced on all sides after loading, and factory stock preparation, trucking, container loading, customs clearance and delivery to the named port were coordinated as one operation.
What was the timeline?
- Factory stock preparation: Stock prepared at the factory and trucked to the loading point.
- Loading with a yard loader: A yard loader handled the over-length, heavy items that a forklift could not move.
- Reinforcement and securing: Cargo reinforced on all sides so plates and coils could not shift.
- Customs clearance and sailing: Export clearance completed and the consignment shipped from Tianjin.
- Arrival in Jeddah: Delivered to Jeddah port 35 to 40 days after departure.
How was the cargo handled in the warehouse?
- Supervised container loading of over-length steel items
- Reinforced the cargo on all sides before the container was sealed
What was the result?
The consignment arrived at Jeddah 35 to 40 days after departure, and the customer stayed with Honour Ocean because of the pricing, the transit and the handling of difficult steel cargo.
