History was created when WWPC member Hindustan Cargo Limited shipped out 2 nos Heat Exchangers having dimensions 26.5 mtrs x 3.33 mtrs x 3.33 mtrs weighing 27 Mtons on 2 nos flat bed containers through the port of NSICT on vessel m.v. SCI Kolkata.

This was an unique operation which would not have been possible without the whole hearted co-operation of S.C.I and NSICT (DP World). Handling of this type of cargo on flat bed containers has never been attempted at the Nhava Sheva ports.

A lot of hard and dedicated efforts were put in by various organizations in order to achieve this herculean task. Special saddles were fabricated to distribute the weight, heavy duty nylon straps were utilized for lashings, tailor made lifting slings were used to lift the cargo and' 80ft long trailors were deployed to move the cargo from the CFS to NSICT port.

Stuffing of cargo onto Flat bed containers and lashing/securing' of cargo were carried out at CFS.


Special slings were procured to lift the package along with the Flat rack container.

Loading operations at NSICT port were handled with pinpoint accuracy using swivel in order that the package could pass between the legs of the Gantry.

It has been the endeavour of Hindustan Cargo Limited to provide value added and tailor made unique solutions to our customers in the field of Project Cargo Shipping Transportation. This is one of the many operations attempted and successfully executed by Hindustan Cargo Limited.
