Vantage Logistics has completed the inland transportation of Liebherr crane systems for Hoanh Son International Port. This shipment consisted of oversized and heavy cargo with a total weight exceeding 200 tons, requiring a multimodal transport approach to ensure safety, schedule compliance, and cost control. 
Project Highlights

• Project name: Crane Transport for Hoanh Son International Port
• Commodity: Liebherr crane
• Volume: 38 packages / 203.7 tons / 266.27 CBM
  • Including 4 special units:
    • 34m (L) x 3.4m (W) x 2.3m (H) x 25 tons x 2 units
    • 14m (L) x 3.7m (W) x 4.5m (H) x 49 tons x 2 units

• Port of Loading (POL): Hai Phong, Viet Nam
• Port of Discharge (POD): Hoanh Son, Viet Nam
• Time of Shipment: 12/2025
• Scope of Work: Inland transportation combined with sea transport

The cargo included multiple oversized and heavy units exceeding standard transport limits, requiring a transport plan aligned with the specific dimensions and weight characteristics. 
Infrastructure and Transport Challenges

• Oversized and heavy cargo: Units up to 34 meters in length and 4.5 meters in height exceeded the capacity of standard transport configurations.
• Route infrastructure constraints: Bridges, narrow roads, limited turning radii, and densely populated areas required careful planning.
• Strict timeline requirements: Equipment needed to arrive in line with installation schedules to avoid storage costs and delays in port operations.

Vantage Logistics’ Optimized Transport Solutions

Vantage Logistics approached the project with a focus on practicality and alignment with cargo characteristics:

• Transport planning aligned with cargo specifications: Based on the dimensions and weight of each unit, a suitable inland transport approach was developed to ensure safe movement throughout the route.
• Combination of sea and inland transport: The transport plan incorporated both sea and inland transport, optimising the main leg while supporting overall cost efficiency.
• Focus on agreed delivery schedule: The execution plan was structured to meet the agreed timeline, supporting the client’s installation schedule for port crane systems.
• Safety-focused execution: Given the nature of oversized cargo, operational safety was prioritised throughout the transport process from Hai Phong to Hoanh Son.

The project to transport over 200 tons of Liebherr cranes to Hoanh Son International Port not only ensured safety for the equipment, but also helped the client save on storage costs and maintain the installation schedule as planned. By combining sea and inland transport, the solution reduced pressure on local infrastructure while optimizing overall costs. With a flexible approach closely aligned to actual requirements, Vantage Logistics delivered tangible value to the client, supporting the port development project to proceed on time and with efficiency.
