Client Background
A US‑based steel‑structure engineering supplier regularly procures various steel structural components from China for local plant construction and infrastructure projects. This multi‑container shipment consists of one 20ft container, three 40HQ containers and one 45HQ high‑cube container. Featuring heavy weight and irregular shapes, the steel components demand high standards for loading & lashing, weight distribution and coordinated multi‑container arrangement.
Pain Points
Heavy and irregular‑shaped steel components are prone to shifting and collision without proper securing. Simultaneous shipment of multiple containers brought great challenges in coordinating booking, trucking and customs clearance, risking inconsistent cutoff progress among containers. The client was concerned about cargo damage and partial shipment delays that would disrupt on‑site construction schedules.
Solution
We delivered an integrated multi‑container export logistics solution, including classified stacking, steel‑structure‑specific steel‑wire lashing & corner‑piece reinforcement, and scientific weight allocation for each container. We coordinated full set booking for 20GP, 40HQ and 45HQ, batch trucking arrangement, unified customs declaration and real‑time tracking for all containers, with strict control over cutoff deadlines for every unit.
Outcome
Steel components inside all containers were firmly lashed with no shifting or impact damage. All containers passed customs clearance in one batch and met cutoff schedules for on‑time departure. The well‑coordinated whole‑set process reduced the client’s workload on multi‑party coordination and guaranteed the on‑schedule progress of US engineering projects
Client Review
Handling our mixed‑size container shipment was complex, yet CXMM‑SCM kept everything well‑coordinated with zero cargo damage.
