Breakbulk shipment of LARS from UK to Singapore
Breakbulk shipping to Singapore for a 35-tonne LARS A-frame from the UK. Multimodal solution via Ro-Ro, barge transfer and platform-based breakbulk shipment reduced total logistics cost by ~70%.
Why planning matters
Heavy cargo transport requires detailed engineering and operational planning long before loading begins. Oversized and high-value cargo often involves route restrictions, lifting limitations, port coordination and vessel stowage constraints.
Each project is reviewed individually based on cargo dimensions, weight distribution, centre of gravity and handling requirements. Depending on the shipment, transport planning may include:
- route surveys and transport permits
- trailer selection and axle load calculations
- lifting studies and crane capacity verification
- stowage planning and securing arrangements
- lashing calculations and sea fastening design
- port handling coordination
- weather and seasonal limitations
- vessel selection based on deck strength, hatch dimensions or ice class requirements
Poor planning in heavy cargo logistics can result in loading delays, permit issues, cargo damage or operational downtime. Early engineering review and coordination help reduce project risk and ensure safe execution throughout the transport chain.
Enkel Project Logistics supports heavy cargo movements by combining overland transport, breakbulk shipping, Ro-Ro and terminal handling into a single coordinated transport solution.
