CASE STUDY

Out-of-Gauge Export Packing & Sea Freight to Iceland

Project Highlights

Specialist Packing for a Large-Scale Turnkey Crushing Plant Project

Large-scale industrial projects demand careful planning at every stage of the supply chain.

Pennex recently supported a turnkey crushing plant project destined for Iceland, providing specialist export packing and coordinating the movement of large components for international sea freight.

The Challenge

The project involved multiple large pieces of crushing plant equipment, creating a number of logistical challenges around packing, handling and transportation.

As the equipment was destined for Iceland by sea freight, the cargo needed to be suitably prepared and protected for the demands of an international journey.

The size of the components also meant that standard transportation methods were not suitable, requiring out-of-gauge wide-load movements as part of the overall logistics operation.

The Pennex Solution

Pennex provided specialist export packing designed around the requirements of the large-scale equipment.

Each component was carefully prepared and secured to provide appropriate protection during handling and transportation, with the packing solution designed to accommodate the scale and characteristics of the cargo.

Once packed, the oversized components were prepared for their onward movement, with Pennex coordinating the specialist transportation requirements associated with the project.

Managing Out-of-Gauge Cargo

For large industrial equipment, transportation is an important part of the packing process.

Pennex’s experience in out-of-gauge logistics enabled the oversized components to be moved using specialist wide-load transportation, helping connect the export packing operation with the onward sea freight shipment.

This integrated approach meant that the cargo could be prepared with its entire journey in mind — from packing and handling through to international shipment.

Sea Freight to Iceland

With the cargo prepared for export, the large components were shipped by sea freight to their destination in Iceland.

For projects of this scale, robust export packing is essential to help protect equipment through the various stages of handling and transportation.

Pennex’s specialist approach ensures that the packing solution is considered alongside the chosen mode of transport and the specific requirements of the cargo.

The Result

The large-scale crushing plant components were successfully export packed, moved as out-of-gauge cargo and shipped by sea to Iceland.

The project highlights Pennex’s ability to support complex industrial projects where oversized equipment, specialist packing and international freight need to be carefully coordinated.

The Pennex Difference

Large equipment requires a different approach.

From bespoke export packing and heavy-load handling to out-of-gauge transportation and international sea freight, Pennex can provide the expertise and coordination needed to keep complex projects moving.
