AIM Control's Heavy Cargo lift loading inspection and Oversize and Overweight Cargo Lashing and Securing Supervision services consisting of Pre-loading survey, Loading inspection, Lashing and Securing Supervision and Other services by  AIM Control (AIM Group®) Loading Master, Experts and Port Captain and the shipment supervision, stowage witness, lashing and securing survey, and consultant as well as logistics to certificate for Heavy Cargo and Super Cargo Project Cargo transported in land and in loading and discharging on board of the ships at ports and anchoring in Ports of Vietnam and Global.

Loading supervision & lashing survey, securing inspection for Heavy Super project cargo, heavy-oversize, overweight equipment and others carried out by  AIM Control (AIM Group®) current world trend for green energy and for a entire project cargo specialists who have the required capabilities in the supply chain management of oversize plant and equipment.

Heavy Cargo and Oversize, Overweight Cargo Types: e.g. wind turbines, generators, turbines, reactors, boilers, towers, casting, heaters, presses, locomotives, boats, satellites, military personnel and equipment at manufactory,

Heavy Cargo and Oversize, Overweight Cargo Carriers: onto land transportation as the Haulier; at sea transportation as Break Vessels, Project Cargo ships. . .

Heavy Cargo and Oversize, Overweight Cargo stowage: in ship’s holds, on deck. . .

What is Heavy Oversize Overweight Cargo? Project cargo is a term used to broadly describe the national or international transportation of large, heavy, high value or a critical (to the project they are intended for) pieces of equipment.

Project Cargo is also a term used in the international industry to describe Supercargo.

 

What is Heavy Cargo and Oversize, Overweight Cargo? 

The transportation, handling and installation of heavy items which are indivisible, and of weights generally accepted to be in the range of 1 ton to over 1000 tons and of widths/heights of more than 100 meters that are too large to fit into normal or onto conventional transporters.

These oversized items of supercargo are transported from one place to another (sometimes across country borders) then lifted or installed into place. Characteristic for heavy lift goods is the absence of standardization which requires an individual transport planning.

To transport Heavy lift and Project Cargo and/ or heavy lift items special trucks or trailers (flatbeds), Break Cargo Vessel are used, which are especially suitable due to their large loading area and capacity. For air transport special large-volume cargo aircraft like are employed which can move up to 250 tons of freight. On inland waters barges are often used.

Transports at sea carry out special heavy lift/ Heavy lift and Project Cargo vessels which often possess twin cranes for loading and discharging cargo.

Transportation of Super-Cargo/ heavy lift items ranks among the most challenging and complex services in logistics and is handled by specialized companies, at sea for example by the project and heavy lift carrier.

Super cargo Loading & Lashing inspections and heavy lift supervision activities of AIMControlGroup.Com on the Transportation means:

• For shipping line/ sea transportation as Ship, Vessel, Containers, Lash, Etc.,
• For Land transportation: Trucks, Forklift, Wagon, trailers . . .
• For Airlines, aircraft

Typical Items of Super cargo to be inspected and supervised by AIMControlGroup.Com

• Supercargo/ Heavy-Lift cargo: Cranes, Tandem Crane, Vessel, Airline, etc.
• Project cargo: Towers, Structure of manufactory, oversize plant and equipment, e.g. wind turbines, generators, turbines, reactors, boilers, towers, casting, heaters, presses, locomotives, boats, satellites, military personnel and equipment
• Other

Example: our super cargo lashing surveyors / heavy lift inspectors carried out loading and lashing supervision for project cargo at the M.V BBC Congo, MV Jan Van Gent, M.V Beluga Fusion, M.V SCL Bern, M.V Scan Pacific, vessel feet of Beluga Shipping GmbH., BBC Shipping, since 1993. Project Name’s  720 MW UTE - COAL FIRED POWER PLANT - Ceará, Brazil, at Doosan loading and Dung Quat Port, Vietnam to Brazil, Project Name’s: IPC cape Scott, at Vung Tau Port, Vietnam to Canada port: Project Name’s: Algeria Omania Fertilizer Project at Penglai, China ports to Algeria port. Project Name’s: Brigadier Lopez at Vungtau, Vietnam Port to Argentina Ports. . . 

In TOP 3 issues/challenges facing the heavy industry lift currently:

1. The readiness of shore side & lifting equipment
2. The loading & securing concerns on board
3. Paper work.

The biggest issue we would say is related to the local Police Authority in obtaining in reasonable time all the authorisation and voyage instructions related to the inland trucking from factory to the nearest port.

A second important issue is related to those how use liner container Vessel for the sea-passage. In this case the problem is related to the unclear way of calculating the nr of slots used and the relevant freight involved.

Other issue is related to the various Harbour Master in connection to those how are using self submersible ships for the transport of ships/yachts. In this case many time it happens that H.M. did not allow the

Loading/discharge on road, also in those ports where the open road is in calm sea area. Those type of operation and ships are very safe and there is no problem at all to discharge or loading in an open sea area. In other word the biggest problem in the H.L. world is related to the bureaucracy we face to perform a voyage.

Ex: Regarding to carrying of heavy lift cargo in containers: 1- containerization & H/L and project cargo. that the max weights in containers are limited & many shippers (especially in far east) are overloading them 2- the adjustments for securing equipments required (Max GM as in containers) 3- Stability concerns 4-Training the ship's mates for such operations, 5- Shore side coordinations to avoid delays for the ships.
