Logistics Supporting Green Energy Projects

In November of 2014 Chinese President Xi Jinping launched an exceptional new project, The New Silk Road Initiative.  Described as "One Belt, One Road" the initiative is expected to not only boost the economy of China but also to help link the countries along the former “Silk Road” by developing infrastructure and improving connectivity with Central Asia, the Middle East and Europe. 

Renewable energy is the trend for the future and presents many challenges. Likewise, managing the supply chains for green energy projects also presents complex logistics challenges that require a very detailed plan and significant experience in handling oversized, very large scale cargo.  Foreseeing the ever-growing needs of green energy projects and the supply chains to support the from China across the Silk Road counterpart countries, OOCL Logistics is well prepared in providing wide range of project cargo services to facilitate these energy project needs.

  • In-depth knowledge and experience: 

     
    o Carrier & Port Capability:
          • The carriers selected must have the capability and knowledge to handle over-sized, heavy lift safely including being  able to manage the oversized cargo container sizes required, including Flat-Rack and Open-top.
          • Heavy lifting capability at the port of load and port of discharge can determine the transportation mode of shipment as all needed project equipment must be able to be unloaded safely.

     o Equipment Availability:
        • Oversized cargo containers including but not limited to Flat-Rack and Open-top must be available during the shipment window.   

     o Customs Brokerage (CHB):

Our teams’ expert knowledge of customs documentation and shipment restrictions across various countries and jurisdictions allow OOCL Logistics to achieve successful completion and on-time delivery to distant sites.

 

  • Certified Vendors & Reliable Partnership: Due to the cargo nature, all oversize cargo must be carefully wrapped and properly blocked and braced in containers or properly deck stowed.
