TSL Australia recently completed the customs clearance, vessel-side under-hook handling, and direct-to-truck (DTT) delivery of a Tunnel Thrust Frame for the Sydney West Harbour Tunnel government infrastructure project.

The cargo was shipped onboard JNS Peace from Shanghai to the Port of Newcastle. The project consisted of 8 oversized deck pieces handled as under-hook DTT, lifted directly from the vessel and delivered straight to the job site near Sydney Harbour under strict scheduling and heavy-lift requirements. The largest individual units weighed up to 45mtn each, requiring precise lift planning and coordination.

In addition, smaller breakbulk and project cargo pieces were discharged to laydown stack at the port and delivered progressively over the following days to support site sequencing.

  • Total Shipment Volume: 580cbm
  • Total shipment Weight: 303mtn

The operations required close coordination between stevedores, transport providers, and site teams to ensure the safe execution and on-time delivery ahead of the project commencement.
