India-based project logistics and freight forwarding company Total Movements has transported 2,200 cu m of kiln shells from India to the Middle East Gulf.

Total Movements provided the door-to-port delivery of the kiln shells from the supplier’s factory to the designated load port in southern India, before shipping the units to their final destination at a steel plant project in the Middle East Gulf.

“Our scope included the entire logistics chain, from picking-up of cargo from the supplier’s works, loading the shells onto the hydraulic axles and transportation up to the designated load port covering a distance of about 800 km,” said a Total Movements spokesperson.

Some of the largest pieces measured 7 m in diameter. Along the route, Total Movements had to organise line shutdowns to accomodate the height of the shells.

Last week, HLPFI reported that Total Movements had appointed Sunil Purohit as its chief financial officer.

Total Movements is a member of the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC).
