When transporting 55-ton energy storage cabinets, operators face multiple hurdles including traffic restrictions, insufficient crane capacity at ports and volatile shipping schedules. Any delay or error may incur additional costs of hundreds of thousands. How does AMASS achieve zero cargo damage and on-time delivery?

The shipped goods are integrated energy storage cabinets equipped with PCS, BMS, fire protection and temperature control systems. Classified as UN3536 dangerous goods, each unit weighs 55 tons, making them typical dangerous goods plus overweight over-dimensional cargo. The project was plagued by complex external conditions: tight lifting resources at the factory hampered the efficiency of consolidated shipments; regional major events restricted regular transportation routes; the port lacked heavy-duty cranes in the unloading area. In addition, maritime declaration for dangerous goods could only be initiated after the entire consignment arrived, leading to conflicts between vessel berthing time and crane scheduling. Any hold-up would bring extra costs and performance risks.

To ensure smooth project execution, AMASS adopted full-process overall management:

1. Strict Compliance with Qualifications We fully abide by dangerous goods transportation regulations, and accurately match UN numbers and HS codes. Complete documents including MSDS, UN38.3 test reports, sea transport appraisal certificates and classification society certifications are prepared in advance. Packaging and cargo securing are implemented in strict accordance with IMDG Code.
2. Resource Pre-Deployment We liaise with manufacturers, shipping lines and ports ahead of schedule to dynamically secure shipping schedules, reserve storage space and coordinate heavy-duty cranes. Standardized cargo securing procedures are formulated to optimize loading operations and mitigate lifting risks.
3. Contingency Plans Diversified rerouting plans are worked out to bypass traffic restrictions during transit. The cargo is fully secured and covered by insurance throughout the journey.
4. On-Site Supervision of Loading Our on-site specialists supervise the entire process from cargo securing at the factory to vessel loading, and provide real-time updates to guarantee loading without delays.
