Cory Logistics said that it is concluding a three-month project to transfer steel manufacturing plant to India from Sheffield, UK. The company will transport 140 feu container loads and around 4,500 freight tonnes of break bulk cargo from the UK ports Felixstowe and Hull to Chennai.
To tackle the task, the company has put together a team of transport, freight and chartering staff to oversee the transfer of steel softener and de-scaler line’ from a redundant Sheffield Steel Mill to its new home in India.
As first phase of the project draws to a close the cargo will ship from Hull to Chennai. Phase two of the project is due to start in May when the company will move other steel production line machinery from redundant Sheffield mill on behalf of the India-based buyer.
Over the past few months Cory, working jointly with Canadian SCAC, shipped 140 containers through Felixstowe. The 4,500 tonnes of break bulk cargo was first transferred to Hull. With oversized, individual pieces of around 12 metres in length, up to 5 metres wide and weighing around 30 tonnes, the Cory team has to plan its movement in relation to UK road restrictions.
Mark Harding, commercial director of Cory Logistics, said: “We are fortunate to have all the capabilities under one roof to handle a cargo this large. Although the planning has been complex and challenging, having a dedicated team on the task has enabled us to offer a competitive advantage.”
