In a significant display of logistical expertise, FGL Logistics has successfully orchestrated the complex shipment of hundreds of oversized trucks from Qingdao, China, to Jakarta, Indonesia, navigating a severely constrained global shipping market. The operation, managed by FGL’s Qingdao branch, underscores the ongoing challenges and adaptive strategies within international vehicle transportation.
The massive order, comprising a fleet of heavy-duty vehicles including mixer trucks, required an immense shipping capacity. FGL utilized up to 146 forty-foot containers to accommodate the sizable cargo. This large-scale move comes at a time when the traditional method of shipping vehicles—using specialized Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO) vessels—is facing a critical shortage of available space, creating a bottleneck for global automotive logistics.
With RO-RO options limited, the industry has increasingly turned to container shipping as a viable alternative. However, this avenue also faces intense pressure, with booking space becoming a precious commodity. Securing hundreds of container slots at short notice presented a formidable challenge. FGL credits its 25 years of industry presence and established relationships with carriers for its ability to secure the necessary priority booking, ensuring the timely dispatch of the vital vehicle shipment.
A company spokesperson highlighted that the firm’s proven track record in handling complex cargo was a key factor in winning the order. “Our extensive experience in managing Out-of-Gauge (OOG) and Break Bulk (BBK) cargo gives us a distinct advantage in vehicle shipment,” the spokesperson stated. “Transporting these large trucks requires precise planning for loading, securing, and stowing to ensure safety and integrity throughout the voyage. This expertise, combined with our booking leverage, is why clients consistently trust us with such critical projects.”
This shipment highlights a broader trend of resilient and flexible supply chain solutions being deployed to keep global trade moving. As demand for heavy machinery and vehicles continues to grow in developing markets like Indonesia, the ability of logistics firms to navigate these tight spaces becomes increasingly crucial. FGL’s successful execution of this order from Qingdao demonstrates a potent combination of seasoned experience and operational agility in the face of industry-wide headwinds.
