Case Study
Client: Mobile Laboratory Solutions Provider
Indusrty: Scientific Research and Manufacturing
Service: Crating, Packing, Blocking & Bracing for Ocean Container TransportChallenge:
MMTPS was tasked with crating, packing, and securing components to build mobile laboratories for international shipment. The project involved preparing and loading four 40-foot high cube ocean containers with a variety of sensitive and oversized components. The shipment required precise load container planning, custom crating, and vapor wrapping to ensure the integrity and security of the cargo during transit. With only a two-week timeline for project completion, the need for efficient execution and meticulous planning was critical. Objective:
Develop and implement a comprehensive plan to crate, pack, block, and brace components for mobile labs while ensuring cargo safety, compliance with international shipping regulations, and adherence to the two-week timeline.
MMTPS Solution
1. Project Planning and Timeline Management:
MMTPS created a detailed two-week project management plan to guide the entire process, from crating design to container loading. We assigned a dedicated team to oversee the project, ensuring seamless coordination between crating, packing, and logistics operations. 2. Custom Crating and Vapor Wrapping:
MMTPS designed and fabricated custom crates to securely house the components, accounting for varying sizes, weights, and fragility level. We applied vapor wrapping to protect sensitive components from moisture, corrosion, and environmental damage during ocean transit. Then utilized reinforced materials to ensure cargo could withstand the rigors of international ocean shipping.
3. Load Container Planning and Blocking/Bracing: MMTPS conducted a detailed analysis of the cargo dimensions and weights to optimize space utilization in the four 40-foot high cube containers and developed a loading plan to ensure even weight distribution and prevent shifting during transit.We employed industry-standard blocking and bracing techniques to secure the cargo and prevent movement, reducing the risk of damage. 4. Compliance and ExecutionMMTPS ensured all packaging and shipping processes complied with international shipping standards and regulations and coordinated with transportation providers to schedule the shipment and confirm all required documentation was in place. Finally, we supervised container loading to verify that all components were properly secured and met client expectations.
