How we did it

Quick Facts

Port of Loading: Felixstowe, UK
Port of Destination: Singapore
Sector: Oil & Gas Industry
Method: Breakbulk
Cargo: Cable Drum
Weight: 72 tonnes
Dimensions: 880cm x 460cm x 473cm

Transported by road to the port of Felixstowe, loaded for Singapore.

Once the truck and trailer where portside, the Cable Drum was released and lifted on to a neighbouring maafi where it was dropped into the cradle and spreader beam that would secure it on the vessel. The drum was lifted again along with fixings into the vessels hold and secured across three flatrack containers.

The cradle was positioned on the flat racks by nailed heavy wooden wedges and further secured by 10ft webbing lashes, taken out to lashing points on the flat racks and secured and tightened using their own ratchets. Eight more lashings were taken directly from the radial arms of the reel and down to convenient lashing points on the flat racks and tensioned. The securing was completed and approved by the ship’s Duty officer and the drum was on its way to Singapore the following day.

Once the cargo arrived at the Port of Singapore the Cable Drum was unloaded without problems and on carried to its destination within time and all to the satisfaction of our client.
