In 2022, our freight forwarding company took on a significant project: managing the export of 35 containers of ferronickel from Jakarta, Indonesia, to India. This project required careful planning and execution across multiple stages of the logistics chain to ensure our client’s needs were met efficiently and seamlessly.
Project Scope
Our task involved coordinating every aspect of this export, from arranging the initial ocean freight schedule to managing trucking logistics, container stuffing, customs clearance, and client communications. Our client’s priority was a smooth process that minimized risk, potential delays, and provided peace of mind.
Strategic Planning & Execution
- Ocean Freight Scheduling: We sourced and secured an optimal ocean freight schedule to meet our client’s timeline, coordinating closely with shipping lines to ensure availability and reliability.
- Trucking and Container Pickup: To prepare the shipment, we arranged a fleet of 35 trucks to pick up empty 20-foot containers from the depot. The scale of this operation required meticulous planning, as each truck needed to arrive in sequence and on time to maintain a smooth flow from pickup to loading.
- Three-Day Stuffing Plan: In collaboration with the client’s factory, we developed a stuffing schedule spanning three days. This approach aligned with the factory’s requirements and ensured that containers were loaded accurately and securely without disrupting production.
- Customs Clearance: Our team managed the export customs clearance process from start to finish. By streamlining the paperwork and managing communications with customs authorities, we ensured that all necessary clearances were obtained promptly.
- Real-Time Problem-Solving: During transit, we encountered an unexpected delay in the estimated time of arrival (ETA) due to vessel congestion. We quickly coordinated with the shipping line to arrange the soonest possible transshipment vessel. Additionally, we secured a letter of explanation for the delay to meet our client’s documentation requirements.
Results and Client Satisfaction
Thanks to our careful planning and hands-on approach, we delivered a reliable export service that kept the client’s needs at the forefront. Our solutions to unforeseen delays and our proactive communication with all stakeholders allowed our client to rest assured that their shipment was in capable hands. This project reinforced our commitment to delivering seamless freight solutions, no matter the scale or complexity of the shipment.
This case demonstrates how our expertise in managing complex logistics can provide peace of mind, even in challenging scenarios. Whether handling a few containers or a full fleet, our team is ready to go the extra mile to support clients through every stage of their export and logistics journey.
