Land-Sea-River Project Transport

In the remote and challenging terrains of Assam, where traditional road infrastructure limits the movement of massive industrial cargo, Total Movements, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, is redefining what’s possible in heavy-lift logistics. The company is currently executing the complex multimodal transportation of 25 Super ODCs, together weighing over 45,000 freight tons (FRT), for the Numaligarh Refinery Expansion Project — one of India’s most ambitious refinery upgrades.

Faced with the near-impossible task of moving colossal equipment through areas unsuitable for conventional road transport, the Total Movements team devised a custom-engineered route that combines road, coastal shipping, and riverine barging via Bangladesh. This innovative corridor not only overcame geographical barriers but also opened new avenues for efficient, cross-border logistics collaboration in the region.

To make this multimodal journey possible, the project scope expanded beyond conventional logistics. The team implemented vessel conversions, barge reinforcements, and even constructed dedicated jetties and a 1,550 MT–capacity bridge — a testament to the company’s commitment to precision engineering and safety.

Despite navigating through complex terrain, dynamic river conditions, and intricate cross-border regulations, the project continues to progress safely, efficiently, and on schedule. Every milestone achieved underscores the synergy of innovation, planning, and technical excellence that defines Total Movements’ approach.

This operation not only demonstrates the company’s capability in handling some of India’s largest and most challenging heavy-lift movements but also sets new benchmarks for multimodal logistics across South Asia. Through this project, Total Movements reinforces its position as a pioneer — transforming logistical challenges into opportunities for engineering brilliance.

Mr. Rahul Singh, Manager International Business with Total Movements acknowledges the importance of membership with the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) to the network´s Director, Wolfgang Karau: “We are delighted to share that we have won the Project of the Year Award at the Heavy Lift Awards 2025 in London!

As a fellow WWPC Member from India this recognition reinforces how our consistency, dedication, and commitment to providing effective service have contributed to our success that we have learned being the WWPC Network member.”
