Breakbulk Project Cargo from China to Belgium via Rotterdam
The lift takes minutes. Making it happen takes careful project logistics coordination across countries, transport modes and changing schedules.
For this project, long and wide project cargo was transported from China to the Port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands as breakbulk cargo aboard a container vessel. In Rotterdam, the cargo was reloaded onto a barge for onward transport to Belgium, followed by the final stage by truck to the project site.
With the ocean vessel schedule changing along the way, coordinating the barge transport, terminal operations and fixed loading slot in Rotterdam with the cargo’s actual arrival required close communication and flexibility throughout the project.
Behind the scenes, the shipment was a joint effort between Hacklin’s project logistics teams in China and Finland, coordinating the different stages of the multimodal transport chain from China to Belgium.
