OCSCL has successfully commenced handling transit shipments for its network partners across GCC countries. Recently, two Asphalt Paver machines were successfully cleared from Jeddah Port and are currently en route to a GCC destination.
During this operation, several operational challenges were encountered, including:
- Delay in vessel berthing at Jeddah Port
- Delay in receiving the Delivery Order from the shipping line
- Customs requirement to transport the Track Asphalt Pavers on separate lowbeds
- Shortage of cranes at RSGT Terminal for loading operations
- Delay in final customs declaration processing
At every stage of the operation, the OCSCL team responded swiftly and efficiently to ensure smooth cargo movement. When Customs refused loading both crawlers on a single lowbed, OCSCL urgently arranged an additional lowbed within 5 hours to avoid operational disruption. Likewise, when the terminal could not arrange cranes on time, the OCSCL team maintained continuous coordination with the loading authorities to expedite the process.
Despite the operational hurdles, the dedicated OCSCL team worked around the clock, maintaining high alert throughout every phase of the shipment. Through constant follow-up, coordination, and commitment, OCSCL successfully overcame each challenge and completed the operation successfully. OCSCL Logistics Manager Mohammad Farhan Mahmood personally followed up in situations requiring strong follow-up or leadership to resolve operational issues.
