    Fructose production line

    Organization of loading fructose production factory in Israel, sea transportation and delivery to the assembly place in Ukraine.

    At first, the client wanted us to receive the goods in Ukraine and haul the to the job site. Then they asked us to arrange sea freight as well. And finally they decided to entrust us with loading operations in Israel, where the goods originated from. The lot consisted of 12 oversized units. Up to 30 m long, up to 5,5 m in diameter and weighing up to 110 mt. The equipment was not new and there was no good drawings so we had to create tech solutions with a lot of allowance and some room for customization.

       

    Sea freight was nothing special. Found a suitable vessel in position, negotiated the terms, chartered it, loaded, secured, dispatched, unloaded in Kherson.

       

       

    The hard part was the delivery to inland Ukraine. The cargo is oversized and seriously so. It was impossible to haul to transport it via roads or railroads, so river transportation was the only option. But there was no workable river port or berth we could use to get to the job site. So we had to build a temporary pier, fast, but with all the permissions. And we also had to build a connection way from this berth to nearing road. And then we unloaded the cargo by a “ro-ro” method, with proper ballasting of the barge and close control of angles and trim.

       

    And after that there was a “normal abnormal” delivery of the cargo to the Customer’s premises for assembly.

                      

                      

    It was a complex project, the scope changed several times, we had to adapt “on the fly”. But in the end all turned out fine. The goods were delivered in time. And within the budget.

    Shell casings from China to Ukraine

    Three shell casings from China to Ukraine, sea and river

    Delivery of a small lot of industrial equipment is tricky at times. Especially if the cargo is oversized and does not fit into a container or on a flat rack. There are no regular break-bulk lines from China to Ukraine, the size of a lot is too small so freight level becomes exorbitant. Every time we have to devise something “on the go”. And this particular cargo consisted of heavy pieces with thin walls, so caution was required during handling. Oh, and this shipment was urgent.
    So we delivered it, with transhipment, via sea and then river. Within a very tight budget.

    Oil pressing equipment from China to Slavyansk

    Combined sea delivery, transhipment, port operations and land delivery of oil pressing equipment

    Once upon a time we were approached by a company who invested in new equipment of their oil pressing plant. As always with such industrial equipment a question arose – how to transport it? The lot was too small to justify chartering of a dedicated vessel and there were no lines offering a part cargo service. One the other hand some pieces were too large to fit into containers or too heavy to be lifted with port cranes. Nature, sizes and weights varied greatly and there was no simple transport solution.
    The job is ours then!

           

    We did some math, considered options and decided that it would be best to separate the lot into a container sub-lot (including and a lot of bigger items to be hauled via ro-ro, on roll-trailers (we know where to get even the longest and heavy-duty ones).
    Loading and securing in China, sea freight for the two lots, port operations (2 different ports), documentation, land delivery to the jobsite.
    All went well.
    win-win

    Discharging, hauling and assembly of furnace modules

    A frequent customer of ours, a large plant, began equipment modernization and they purchased a part of re-forming furnace. Such furnace is a large structure, so it had to arrive knocked-doen to smaller parts. And by “smaller” we mean oversized units measuring 20 m x 5 m x 4 m and weighting up to 117 mts.
    We has one day to discharge them at the nearest port and to bring them to the plant’s premises.
    The nearest port had no cranes, so we used a floating cranes hired in another port.
    According to design documents strength of the berth did not permit to place a truck with overweight cargo there, so we hired a specialized Institute for a detailed survey and engineering, and having acquired one we designed the route for moving, with exact position of the truck, angles and trajectory of moving the truck.
    Along the route there was some unfinished construction and a fence, so wee had to carefully dismantle it all and then to re-build it.
    There was no manpower in the port of choice (imagine that) so we had to bring our own gang,
    We had 24 hours for everything – unlashing, discharging, delivery. We did it in 11 hours.
    And then there was no crane able to discherge the units to where the plant wanted them to be, but we found a way nevertheless
     
    And then these modules were assembled using a 600-tonnes crawler crane that we provided. Now the furnace is assembled and is ready to work.

    Yacht hull, in Mykolaiv, to the port of Olvia (ex. Oktyabrsk)

    At first it sounded rather usual – to transport an unfinished yacht hull to a port for further shipping abroad. That was not our first yacht to transport so we took it easy and asked some regular questions – dimensions (oversized?), mass (heavyweight?), where is the point of origin and what ship it has to be loaded on, etc.
    Then the surprize came – the boat was 30m long, 7,5 m wide and 5,3 metres high, weighing 40 tons. 
    We had to load it deep inside the city’s boundaries and carry it trought the urban area with lots of bottlenecks and overhanging superstructures. And the trailer with cargo was no less that 6 m high. It IS oversized, abnormal and whatnot. It could not be brought to the port without removing the gates first.
    The Client’s friends made a bet with him, insisting that he will never deliver the hull to the port without cutting it.
      
    And well… Our Client won the bet! We hauled it without cutting anything off, in the night, as we had to power off electricity in some areas. But we broke nothing and no one was hurt.
    Well…. One slightly drunk passer-by was a little shocked to see a boat sailing throught the city in the night…

    “Tukan” cranes

    3 units, Split - Yuzhne

      
    We hauled them semi-assembled. At first the Customer wanted them fully assembled but then the height would be over 80 m. That would make passage under bridges over Bosporus straight impossible, so the assembly consisted of the Portal, the machine house and the A-frame. Still, the cranes were 45 m high. And weighted 400 metric tons each. As oversized and heavyweight as it gets. Three cranes. Oh, and in the process it was found out that we can’t shipp all three in this condition as it created stability issues, so one crane had to be knocked down further (separate the machine house and the portal), and then assembled during discharging with vessel’s gear.
     
    We had a bunch of difficulties at the loadport, as the terminal actually was a shipyard shypyard, they knew how to make things, not how to load them. Heavy and oversized in particular. Nevertheless, we brought them, assembled and delivered to the Client. Now the Port of Yuzhne breaks records of bulk cargo handling with them.

    Band for a rotary kiln, from China to Horishni Plavni

    Band (106 mts and 7 meters) and cylinder (65 mts and also 7 m), that we carried from China to inland Ukraine.

    This a band that is supposed to hold together a large rotary kiln, used in processing rawiron ore to iron ore pellets. The ones that later are melted into iron and steel.

    We carried this oversized cargo from China to Ukraine, deep inland. The band’s diameter is 7 mtrs, the cylinder is a little smaller. The band is really an oversized load, the one you need to carry with police escort. It is also too heavy to carry by the roads, and railway is not useable as 7 mtrs is just too wide. Therefore, we carried it via the Dnipro river and rolled it off the barge.

          

    Remark: that was probably the only time we crawled along the berth with a ruler measuring water level in Dnipro, hoping it won’t change too much too fast. Centimeters did matter.

    Ochakiv wind farm components

    Transportation of Wind Turbine components for Ochakov wind farm.

         

    That was one of the first wind power plants in the country. Few companies had any experience in handling the WTG components, and there were oversized collies (very long blades, wide and high tower sections) and heavylifts, too (tower sections again, nacelles). As always, necelles are tricky in terms of slinging and require special rigging. All operations had to be done in almost defunct port that did not handle any cargo for afes. And there wre no cranes in that port.
    So we had to rent the equipment – trucks, prime movers, trailers, cranes. We actually conducted stevedoring – unlashing, discharge, lay-out at the berth and storage (optimized for further delivery to the job site), then loading onto trailers, haulage to the job site, unloading to the ground.
    It was necessary to maneuver with cranes a lot – work in the port, then at the job site, then port again.

    So we nad to organize the complete cycle of cargo operations and delivery. Oh, and we also built a road, for there was no any. It is there yet and is still in use.

    Loading of transformer, 215 metric tonnes

    Electric transformer, loading at the port of Chornomorsk (former Ilyichevsk)

    This a powerful electric transformer weighing 215 metric tons that we shipped to on country in South America. It was not our first try with transformers, but 215 mts is one serious mass. In Ukraine, there is a definite shortage of shore cranes able to handle this cargo, and the Customer chartered a gearless vessel.

    So we did it with a floating crane. And there also was a set of drums with transformer oil.

     

    Remark: This was the only one transformer painted bright-red! It made a lovely addition to the port’s view for the short time we used to load and ship it…

    Lashing and securing of cranes at Odessa

    The cargo – newly built container cranes – was loaded with ship’s cranes and were to conduct lashing and securing. That meant several hundred points of welding, manpower, equipment and not a single hour of delay. A task not too complex, but… it all had to be done at a container terminal. They did not have neither equipment nor labour for such a job. We had to look for, bring, get permissions, show how, control and supervise. There was no companies providing such services in Odessa. Well there is one now! We can render these services nearly anywhere now. So that was an interesting project, we learned a lot. The Client was satisfied, too.
     
    And the cargo safely reached the port of destination. Did not move a bit.
