Vantage Logistics has recently completed the international transportation of a combined shipment of Out-of-Gauge (OOG) equipment and Dangerous Goods (DG) with multiple IMO classifications from Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam to Taichung, Taiwan. This shipment included a lifting set for an air compressor (frame and gears) together with DG cargo spanning several IMO classes.

Managing a Complex Cargo Mix: OOG & DG

The combination of OOG and DG cargo required simultaneous compliance with two sets of technical standards: oversized cargo handling and strict hazardous goods regulations. This dual requirement demanded a carefully designed transport plan covering booking, documentation, and execution.

Tight Schedule: Balancing Vessel Availability, Timeline, and Cost

Offshore wind projects often link shipping schedules directly to installation progress. With limited time available, securing the earliest feasible vessel connection was critical. Vantage Logistics worked closely with contractors and stakeholders to identify a suitable freight solution that balanced vessel availability, project deadlines, and cost efficiency.

Coordinated Execution to Maintain Project Pace

Alongside vessel scheduling, the DG cargo – spanning multiple IMO classifications – required strict control during booking and transport. Vantage Logistics maintained continuous communication with all parties to align cargo requirements, shipping schedules, and regulatory procedures.

This coordination ensured the shipment was executed on the selected vessel schedule and met the project’s delivery timeline.

Outcome

The OOG and DG shipment was successfully transported from Viet Nam to Taiwan within the project’s required timeframe. This achievement demonstrates Vantage Logistics’ capability to manage complex shipments involving diverse cargo categories and technical requirements, supporting offshore wind and industrial projects with tailored international freight solutions.
