Total Movements Pvt. Ltd, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, successfully executed the Multimodal, Door-to-Door movement of 2 x 643 tons Coke Drums, totalling over 10,200 freight tonnes, for a key project at one of the largest oil refineries in India.

Total Movements project manager gave an insight for this operation: “Our scope involved road transportation from supplier’s factory to the nearest jetty, rolling-on the drums onto the barge, barging to the port closest to the refinery site, inland delivery and placement to the foundation.

The operation required meticulous planning and coordination, given the massive dimensions and weight of the cargo.

Key highlights and challenges included:

• End-to-end multimodal coordination, including marine and inland logistics.
• Operations carried out during foul weather and heavy monsoon rainfall, demanding strict safety controls.
• Navigating tide constraints at both ports.
• Securing Marine Warranty Surveyor (MWS) approvals for the sea voyage.
• Managing road transportation challenges due to poor infrastructure and ODC movement restrictions.

Despite the odds, the entire movement was executed smoothly and safely, within the committed timelines.

A big thank you to our client for their continued trust, and sincere appreciation to all the stakeholders who contributed to the success of this operation.”
