Swire Projects has started the year with an impressive achievement: successfully transporting five mining dump trucks, each weighing a hefty 112 tons. These enormous vehicles, with a combined volume of approximately 2,915 cubic meters, were meticulously moved from Batam, Indonesia, to Henderson, Western Australia. This operation underscores Swire Projects’ expertise in managing oversized and heavy cargo with precision and efficiency.
The journey commenced at Kabil, where Swire Projects coordinated the ocean transport using the multipurpose heavy-lift vessel, Pacific Innovation. With a capacity of 19,600 DWT and twin 240-ton cranes, the ship ensured safe and efficient handling of the massive trucks. The Swire Projects team worked closely with the client, tailoring logistics to specific requirements and ensuring a seamless, secure shipment through meticulous planning and execution.
Swire Projects’ specialized experience in the mining sector proved invaluable. Mining operations rely heavily on the timely and secure delivery of oversized equipment, and Swire’s Western Australia Express (WAX) service is designed to meet these challenges head-on. This comprehensive solution not only facilitates the transportation of heavy machinery but also includes customs clearance and bio-security documentation—essential components for adhering to Australian regulations.
Every aspect of the operation was carefully managed, from acquiring permits and complying with regulatory standards to collaborating with local authorities and overseeing on-site logistics. This hands-on approach ensures that equipment arrives at its destination in pristine condition, meeting the high standards expected by clients.
“This project underscores our commitment to delivering exceptional service and innovative solutions for our clients in the mining and logistics sectors,” a Swire Projects representative remarked. The company remains focused on providing tailored logistics solutions that address the unique demands of heavy and oversized cargo.
