Methods of shipping from China(2)

 Project Shipping (For Over-Sized and Over-Weight Cargo)

(a)  OOG (OUT OF GAUGE)

OOG (OUT OF GAUGE) is short for out of gauge container or out of standards containers; OOG containers could be divided into Open Top Container and Flat Rack Container, and Flat Rack Container is shorted as FR. Open Top Container is used to carry heavy and/or bulky finished products, which handling and loading can only be performed with a crane or a rolling bridge.

And Flat Rack Container is dedicated for the carriage of heavy, bulky as well as over height and/ or over width items. To those items that are over length, over width, over height and over-weight, break bulk (2 OR MORE FLAT RACKS as bed = BREAK BULK, that is BB CARGO) is the suitable way for delivery.

(b)  Break Bulk Vessel Services

Break bulk cargo is defined as general cargo or goods that do not fit in or utilize standard shipping containers or cargo bins. Break bulk is also different from bulk shipping, which is used for cargo such as petroleum products or grain. Instead, break bulk cargo is transported individually, oftentimes on a skid or pallet or in a crate.

Break bulk from China by below main product

Steel products: seamless steel tube, Steel pipe, Casing, steel coli, steel section, steel plate, steel rod, big steel constructions and special steel materials.

Mechanical Equipment: concrete mixer, Excavating machinery, Crane, Pile driving machinery, road construction machinery, Port machinery, Petroleum equipment, Coal machinery, Numerical control machine, Compressor, LNG equipment, Engineering vehicle, Production Line etcs.

(c)  RO RO Vessel Services

Ro Ro (Roll-on/roll-off) ships are vessels designed to carry wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trucks, semi-trailer trucks, trailers or railroad cars that are driven or towed on and off the ship on their own wheels. This ships “Roll-on” and “Roll-off” its cargo through its built-in ramps. The ramps could be located at the stern or/and on at the bow. Some ships have ramps installed on the port side of the hull.

Why use Ro Ro Shipping from China

.      The safest and most inexpensive way to handle and transport oversized or special project cargo.

.      Shipments often move as one piece using specialized trailers from origin to port to destination.

.      Less physical handling and there is no need for costly dismantling and reassembly.

.      There is no exposure to water or the elements because the cargo is always secured in Ro Ro/Containership's garage decks for the entire voyage.

(d)  Heavy-lift Shipping

Heavy lift ships, with cranes with a combined lift capacity of hundreds of tons, can easily lift super heavy cargoes and carry super long cargoes up to 100 meters on the main deck. The box-shape hold can be adjusted to multiple decks. The ships are regarded as the right carriers for whole set of equipment and project cargoes.

Heavy Lift Vessels are specifically designed to carry heavy or oversized cargo. These vessels meet the rising demand for block or modular transportation for fully assembled plants and/or equipment. Most of the heavy lift ships are self-sustaining diversified cargo handlers. They can be equipped with gantry or telescopic auxiliary cranes for the conventional load-on/ load-off ramps for Ro-Ro movements, and have semi-submersible capabilities to accommodate float-on/float-off operations. In some instance, operators extend their activities to cover inland transit with multi-wheeled self-propelling transporters enabling carriage of cargo from the point of manufacture to final destination.

The term "heavy lift ship" is ambiguous. By one definition, a heavy lift ship is an ocean-going vessel capable of submerging its large open deck to well below the water's surface, thus allowing another vessel to be floated over it and landed on a dry-dock-build mounted on the heavy lift ship's deck. The heavy lift ship then rises out of the water by pumping out its ballast tanks in a process very similar to the operation of a floating dry-dock. The transported vessel then rides on the deck of the heavy lift ship for the voyage to its destination. This type of ship is also known more precisely as a Float-On / Float-Off [ FLO-FLO] Ship.
