Pile driving equipment from the Philippines, two routes for one delivery

For a European rental company a vibratory hammer and a power pack had to move from the Philippines to Europe, over 45 tonnes together, plus accessories. The accessories would not fit through container doors, so they went in a 40ft open top to Rotterdam. The heavy pieces travelled on a MAFI trailer by RoRo from another port, to Bremerhaven. Fumigation was only possible in Manila, not at the factory.

The result

Both shipments delivered, despite changes in equipment, port and handling.
