In a complex and meticulously planned logistics operation, a specialized boarding bridge and its components were successfully transported from Shanghai, China, to Miri Airport in Malaysia via break bulk shipping. The shipment, which included oversized and heavy cargo, required a tailored approach to ensure safe and timely delivery under DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) terms.
Transportation: sea freight
Term: DDU
POL: Shanghai, China
POD: Bintulu, Malaysia
Place of Delivery: Miri Airport,Malaysia
Transport type: Break bulk ship
T/T: 12 Days
Project Time: 14 April, 2025
Project Overview
The cargo, consisting of seven major components, was transported via sea freight from Shanghai Port to Bintulu Port, Malaysia, with a transit time of 12 days. Due to the absence of direct break bulk shipping services to Miri, the logistics team devised a multi-stage transportation plan:
1. Break Bulk Shipping from Shanghai to Bintulu Port – The cargo was loaded onto a specialized break bulk vessel, capable of handling oversized and heavy shipments.
2. Final Delivery to Miri Airport – After arriving in Bintulu, the cargo was transported overland to Miri Airport, where it was unloaded with the help of local agents and customs clearance support.
Key Challenges & Solutions
- Oversized Cargo Handling: One of the key components, the BL06A Series Tunnel, measured 16,400 x 3,680 x 3,950 mm and weighed 21,500 kg, requiring specialized loading and securing procedures.
- Customs Compliance: Since the customer required a single customs declaration, the logistics team ensured all documentation was consolidated for seamless clearance.
- Airport Access Coordination: The team worked closely with the consignee and local authorities to secure an airport access permit, enabling smooth unloading at Miri Airport.
Cargo Details
The shipment included:
1. BL06A Series Tunnel – 1 package (16,400×3,680×3,950mm, 21,500kg)
2. Lifting System – 1 package (8,000×2,000×1,050mm, 6,500kg)
3. Rotunda – 1 package (3,680×2,800×3,040mm, 4,550kg)
4. Bogie – 1 package (3,350×1,600×2,000mm, 2,900kg)
5. Column – 1 package (3,665×1,220×1,220mm, 1,932kg)
6. Wooden Boxes – 2 packages (4,940×1,300x750mm, 1,200kg & 3,800x400x400mm, 360kg)
