GPLN Member Younger Niche sets a new overland record in ZhangJiaGang

Global Project Logistics Network member Younger Niche Logistics (YNL) has

the distinction of being responsible for the movement of the single largest

piece of equipment ever moved by road transport in ZhangJiaGang, Jiangsu

Province, China. The piece, 14m x 7.4m x 7.9m / 86,000kgs, was moved by road

from the supplier's premises to PuXiang port, ZhangJiaGang. The move,

covering 30 kms, took 22 hours to complete and involved the services of

local ZhangJiaGang government, the police and officials from the department

of electrical power.

 

In order to reduce height the unit was transported minus cradles. Only once

alongside vessel was the unit postioned and secured in cradles.

 

PuXiang port, a privately owned facility, was chosen as the load port as

access from suppliers whilst still difficult was the closest with less

overhead obstructions than other roadways to the public port.

 

YNL were instrumental in obtaining berthing rights for the ocean carrier, a

foreign flag vessel, at PuXiang port.
