A Brief Discussion on the Maritime Transport of Large Equipment

——One-Stop Service for Flat Rack/Open Top/Bulk Carrier Shipping Supports "Going Global Projects"

With the deepening of the "Belt and Road" initiative and the continuous release of international infrastructure project demands, large-scale engineering equipment, construction machinery, and mining vehicles made in China are accelerating their "going global" process. In this context, how to efficiently, safely, and compliantly complete the global transportation of oversized and heavy equipment has become a core concern for equipment manufacturers and export enterprises.

Xinghan Tongda (Qingdao) International Supply Chain Service Co., Ltd., leveraging the shipping resources and port operation experience of hub ports such as Qingdao Port, Shanghai Port, Tianjin Port, Lianyungang Port, and Rizhao Port, offers a "large equipment + specialized machinery" transportation solution for the global market. This solution covers various transportation methods, including flat rack (FR), open top (OT), roll-on/roll-off vessels, and bulk carriers. The end-to-end service has already covered key markets in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.
