New Layout for General Cargo Ships and Heavy-Lift Cargo Transportation

Against the backdrop of dynamic adjustments and diversified development in the global shipping market, the demand for logistics and transportation in engineering construction and energy development projects in the Middle East and Africa continues to rise. With the advancement of multilateral cooperation projects, the cross-continental transportation of oversized equipment, engineering vehicles, and steel structure modules has entered a new phase of development. Xinghan Tongda (Qingdao) International Supply Chain Services Co., Ltd., leveraging its capacity and scheduling experience in the fields of breakbulk ships, bulk carriers, flat racks, and oversized cargo shipping, is participating in the optimization of services in this market.

Freight Demand Driven by Engineering and Energy

Ports such as Jebel Ali (UAE), Dammam (Saudi Arabia), Sohar (Oman) in the Middle East, and Mombasa (Kenya), Dar es Salaam (Tanzania), Lagos (Nigeria) in Africa, serve as distribution hubs for large-scale infrastructure and energy projects, handling the transportation of out-of-gauge cargo such as crawler cranes, concrete batching plants, wind turbine towers, mining equipment, and complete production lines. These types of cargo require high compatibility with vessel types, lifting capabilities, and seamless loading and unloading operations.

Relying on ports in Northern China and the Yangtze River Delta, including Qingdao, Tianjin, Lianyungang, Rizhao, and Shanghai, Xinghan Tongda provides multi-vessel combination transportation solutions, including full chartering, slot consolidation, flat rack, and open-top container transfers, ensuring project cargo arrives at the destination port according to the project timeline.

Coordinated Guarantee of Routes and Capacity

The company has established a long-term cooperative shipping network for the Middle East and Africa routes:

Middle East Route: Covering countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Oman, serving oil and gas, infrastructure, and manufacturing projects;

East and West Africa Routes: Connecting countries such as Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, and Côte d'Ivoire, transporting engineering machinery, steel structures, and complete equipment;

Special Cargo Transportation: Through flat rack and breakbulk consolidation services, meeting the demand for stable voyages and direct port calls for non-standard containerized cargo.

Through collaboration with international shipowners, the company maintains relatively stable capacity and loading plans during periods of freight rate fluctuations, reducing the risk of delays caused by tight space.

Optimization of Land Connections and Port Operations

On the domestic front, Xinghan Tongda integrates trailer and warehousing resources around port areas, providing pre-port consolidation, specialized lifting, and customs declaration services for oversized cargo. Through end-to-port integrated operations, the company shortens cargo waiting times in ports and helps clients plan their transportation processes in advance.

Practical Direction of "Linking the Globe, Sharing a Win-Win Future"

The head of Xinghan Tongda's international business stated: "We hope clients not only focus on the completion of the transportation process but also experience the reliability of project delivery." In the Middle East and Africa markets, the timeliness and execution of projects are crucial. Leveraging experience in breakbulk, bulk carrier, and specialized container transportation, the company provides stable transoceanic transportation support for Chinese-manufactured engineering equipment.

As cross-regional energy and infrastructure cooperation deepens, maritime transportation channels departing from Chinese ports will continue to support the implementation of more large-scale projects, embodying the corporate philosophy of "Linking the Globe, Sharing a Win-Win Future".
