Recently, our company successfully completed the sea transportation of a special shipment from Shanghai to Dubai – a 22-meter-long ship side section，by break bulk vessel. Although the cargo weighed only 5 tons with a diameter of just 1.5 meters, its extraordinary length and structural complexity presented a unique challenge for handling and lifting.
Unlike conventional cargo, this shipment featured a flexible midsection that made standard single-point lifting impossible. Recognizing the risk of deformation and the need for absolute precision, our engineering team carefully assessed the cargo’s stress distribution and designed a customized multi-point lifting solution. This approach ensured balanced weight distribution, minimized bending stress, and guaranteed the safety of both the cargo and the crew during loading and unloading operations.
The project was executed using a break bulk vessel, chosen for its adaptability in handling oversized cargo that cannot fit into standard containers. Despite the relatively light weight of the cargo, the 22-meter length demanded exact planning, coordination, and timing—from stowage design to securing methods on deck. Our operations team worked closely with the vessel’s crew and port stevedores to ensure every step met the highest standards of safety and precision.
Throughout the process, our logistics specialists demonstrated our company’s core strengths: technical expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to safe delivery. Every lifting point, sling angle, and spreader beam was calculated and verified before execution. The loading process was monitored in real time to ensure the cargo remained stable during movement and placement.
This successful shipment once again highlights our capability to handle non-standard, long-length cargoes with professional precision and reliability. Whether it’s heavy machinery, structural components, or project cargo, our team provides end-to-end logistics solutions—covering technical planning, vessel coordination, and on-site supervision.
At OOGPLUS forwarding agency, we believe that every project, no matter its size, deserves the same level of engineering care and operational excellence. Our ability to adapt to complex cargo characteristics and find innovative solutions is what sets us apart in the field of break bulk and project logistics.
From Shanghai to Dubai, this shipment stands as another testament to our dedication to safe, efficient, and intelligent maritime transport—delivering not just cargo, but confidence.
