Vehicle and breakbulk carrier chooses JAXPORT as partner in strategic expansion
Panama-based SC Line, which specializes in vehicle, truck and heavy equipment transport, is now calling on JAXPORT’s Talleyrand Marine Terminal as part of its USATRUCK roll-on/roll-off service. The bi-weekly service connects JAXPORT with Colombia, Panama and Venezuela.
SC Line executives chose JAXPORT because of its proximity to highways, accessibility to auctions, quality port-based automotive processors and ease of doing business.
“Jacksonville is a strategic port for us. It is the place to come as we look to grow our volumes and we want everyone to know there’s a new way to ship vehicles,” said Blado Caimares, Senior Account Executive at SC Line.
SC Line is partnering with Seaonus Stevedoring at Talleyrand, as well as Export Freight & Brokers, Inc. (EFB Export) a worldwide shipping company concentrating on heavy equipment exports. SC Lines recently acquired General Motors as an account.
“SC Line opens a great deal of opportunity for us and for Jacksonville,” said Rick Sharp, Vice President of Seaonus. “The potential for increasing breakbulk and ro-ro volumes into SC Lines’ markets in Latin America is incredible and we are eager to expand along with them.”
“We’re proud to welcome SC Lines to Jacksonville and prouder still that JAXPORT’s reputation for ease of doing business, our unparalleled connections and our efficiencies are what brought them here,” said JAXPORT Executive Vice President Roy Schleicher. “It’s always gratifying when our customers realize the benefits of doing business here and we look forward to helping SC Line grow.”
SC Line's hub in Cartagena, Colombia links both the SC Line East Coast USATRUCK route with the Gulf's MEXTRUCK route. It services Houston, Altamira, Veracruz, Cartagena and Santa Marta, which features a 500,000 square foot Free Trade Zone.
JAXPORT is the No. 1 vehicle export port in the United States.

WWL ALS successfully completes transport of the widest loads since records began through central London
Location: Central London – Canary Wharf in background
Description:
In May, 2013 Dragados Sisk Joint Venture (DSJV), the contractor constructing Crossrail’s Eastern running tunnels, approached WWL ALS (Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics Abnormal Load Services UK International Limited) to discuss the practicality of delivering Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) ‘Jessica’ from Stepney Green, east London through to Limmo Peninsular, east London as part of the Crossrail Eastern Tunnels contract C305.
The challenge from DSJV was to transport the 1,300 tonne Herrenknecht S-721 TBM and back-up equipment in as large individual components as possible to enable DSJV to achieve the relocation quickly, efficiently and cost-effectively.
For such a large-scale project nine months of intensive planning was required to determine a suitable route, obtain permits and liaise with multiple statutory authorities regarding the removal of street furniture, traffic management and street parking suspensions. The process required WWL ALS’ Project team to secure the necessary Be16 Special Order, VR1 and TTRO permits.
Extensive surveys were undertaken by WWL ALS to determine possible routes for this project. As part of this planning process innovative 3 dimensional laser mapping was used on dual carriageway sectors of the route with high traffic density, for scanning overhead gantry, bridge and tunnel heights and widths where manual means of checking clearances would be too hazardous.
Two optional routes were identified, and the least problematic option was selected to cause minimal disruption to residents and other road users. The route taken by all loads was eastbound via the A13 Limehouse Link Tunnel, with a height and width clearance of just a few centimetres for the largest items, and it also involved travelling contra-flow on a 750m section of this major arterial route (A13) for the two largest loads.
WWL ALS’ project team, headquartered in Hull, organised and closely supervised deliveries over a four week period for this challenging operation, concluding in April, 2014. TBM ‘Jessica’, which was dismantled and transported by road two months after completing a 2.7 kilometre underground drive from Pudding Mill Lane, involved a total of 26 x abnormal loads plus ancillary equipment. Due to the congested nature of the inner-city route, between seven and twelve police escort vehicles were required for each abnormal load movement in addition to the private escorts provided by WWL ALS.
An assortment of low loader and semi low loader vehicles were used, with a maximum gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 114 Tonnes, and the time taken from collection to delivery of cargo was on average 90 minutes per movement. The largest items were transported towards the end of the project, involving loads with maximum dimensions up to 18.20 metres long, 7.10 metres diameter wide, 4.35 metres high and maximum weight 72 tonnes. The Metropolitan Police have commented that “these were the widest loads moved within central London since records began”.
WWL ALS’ Project team ensured that TBM ‘Jessica’ made the smooth 5 kilometre journey from one of Europe’s largest mined caverns at Stepney Green to Limmo Peninsular (Canning Town), east London within the scheduled timescale and budget for the project, where the TBM has been reassembled to commence work on the final Crossrail tunnels between Limmo Peninsular and Victoria Dock.
Within the next month WWL ALS will commence the relocation of TBM ‘Ellie’ (a sister machine to TBM ‘Jessica’), again from Stepney Green to Limmo Peninsular.

KUALA LUMPUR—Today Y.B. Dato’ Sri Liow Tiong Lai, Minister of Transport for Malaysia, opened the 2nd China Malaysia Port Alliance Annual Meeting at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. The meeting was held alongside the first Breakbulk Southeast Asia convention and exhibition for the project cargo and breakbulk industry.
The minister took the podium in front of more than 50 members of the alliance who gathered to discuss the alliance’s progress and several new initiatives. The China Malaysia Port Alliance was formed to support the two nation’s common objective to promote regional economic cooperation, increase investments and bring development and prosperity as part of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, also known as the One Belt and One Road initiative.
“Malaysia strongly supports the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road initiative and we are committed to work with China to further enhance the bilateral ties towards a comprehensive strategic partnership,” Minister Liow Tiong Lai. “The ultimate objective of the port alliance is to facilitate trade by using ports in Malaysia and China as the gateway.
Currently, there are six Malaysian ports and 10 Chinese ports in the alliance. Malaysia will add three new port members and China will add an additional two, he said. In the future, the alliance may expand membership to include shipping lines, freight forwarders and other key port partners.
China and Malaysia already have a strong collaboration with Chinese investment fueling various sectors. The minister mentioned a recently formed partnership with Alibaba, a Chinese technology leader, to create the Digital Free Trade Zone. “It will be the world’s first special trade zone that will promote the growth of e-commerce,” he said. “This initiative is part of the digital road map which aims to double ecommerce growth rate of SME’s goods exports to reach US$38 billion by 2025.
Other partnerships include the proposed Melaka Gateway Multipurpose Deep Sea Port, Maritime Industrial Park and the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project.
He closed his comments by congratulating Port Klang Authority as Malaysia Secretariat and also the other Malaysian Ports on this initiative. Port Klang Authority General Manager Capt. K. Subramaniam will discuss the port’s perspective on regional project and breakbulk trade, as well as the port’s plans for development, at the Breakbulk Southeast Asia event on Thursday, 6 Sept. at 14:00 in Hall 4 of the KLCC.

Description: deugro Singapore successfully transported five overlength and heavy columns by way of two consecutive barge voyages from Malacca to Sakra Jetty on Jurong Island, Singapore. The main challenge in Malaysia was the difficult route from the factory to the nearby jetty in Malacca. Although the route was only 20 kilometers long, there were seven very narrow turns to navigate. Major road improvements and civil works were needed, in addition to removing obstacles, before operations could begin. Extensive advance meetings with the respective authorities and town councils were necessary to ensure that all required permits were in place prior to beginning the transport. Because the route was so difficult, equipment could only be transported during daylight hours. We also needed many support vehicles, local police, and third-party security to keep spectators at bay and allow for safe passage with no incidents.
