Taking advantage of the southern summer, Alpha Shipping has arranged the lease of nine tank containers of aviation fuel and polar diesel oil to be shipped from Cape Town to the Antarctic. The aviation fuel is urgently needed to supply aircraft at the various bases, and the polar diesel used for the generators and machinery has an additive to prevent it freezing.

Alpha Shipping understands the demands placed by clients who expect top quality service at all times, whatever the conditions. So whether it is a shipment to the frozen wastes of the Antarctic or to a mine in the searing heat of the Sahara, Alpha Shipping is always up to the challenge.

Posted on February 7, 2014 | by admin

For the final quarter of 2013, CQR Ho Chi Minh transported Doosan’s oversized shipments from Haiphong to Busan

Using 40′ flat rack containers, the team successfully arranged the shipping of structural steel (Dim: 11.7m x 4.00m x 1.90m / GW: 26-33MT. per container) with the shipping lines HANJIN and CK Line.

“On first glance, this shipment seemed quite straightforward, however, the cargo was 4m over-width and we were requested to place it under below deck and not stacked with other cargo to avoid damage. But our team is experienced enough to meet any requests and overcome any issues,” explained Vice CEO, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Dung.

Handle with care

Posted on February 7, 2014 | by admin

During late 2013, CQR Penang, shipped tanks, clarifier, bio filtration systems and accessories and parts on HUB Line on behalf of Earth Care Environmental Technology to Bali via Surabaya for reworking.

Manager, Chandran Kanan, explained the specific challenges to this shipment. “Firstly, the stuffing into the high cube had to be done with care and patience as there was only a 60mm width and length clearance for the tank and they were made of fibre-glass which is prone to cracking if handled wrongly or knocked.”

This attention to detail when stuffing is crucial as the team aims to make the ‘unstuffing’ as easy as possible for customers.

No challenge too great for CQR Qingdao

Posted on January 17, 2014 | by admin

CQR Qingdao, was chosen by GOLDWIND, the largest supplier of wind turbines, in China to ship 5 MW wind driven generator blade from China to Antwerp

In total the team shipped 25 pieces, each measuring 55.2m x 3.4m x 3.8m by road to the port and then stowed the customized steel frames on the BreakBulk WL Shipping vessel. Luckily, they clip together so this was the easier part of the process.

This shipment was not without its challenges as Director Hattie Huang explained. “There were many considerations to be though about before this shipment could even leave its origin. For example we had to ensure each piece was secured and that each vehicle could travel down roads with other road users.”

In fact, the drivers became experts at the ‘3-point turn’, or should that be 4-5 point turn! “Yes, at some turnings the corners were more than challenging, however we were not beaten and we got each blade to the port on time,” Hattie said. “Although, the port was not that happy as they didn’t want to handle the blades at night, nevertheless we soldiered on.”

After 48 hours of work, their hard work paid off and the blades sailed off to Antwerp. “Although these shipments are quite mentally and physically taxing, we are specialists in this and this is the 6th time GOLDWIND has requested us,” explained Hattie.
