Modular Home from China to Poland: Oversized Transport in a Flat Rack Container
Task
The BGT Group team was tasked with organizing the transportation of a modular house from China to Poland. Due to the cargo's non-standard dimensions, a conventional shipping container could not be used. We therefore designed a safe transportation solution using a Flat Rack container and provided comprehensive customs clearance services. The shipment was delivered safely and on schedule after a 54-day sea voyage.
Project Overview
- Non-standard dimensions of the modular house.
- Cargo volume: 125.235 m³.
- Cargo weight: 9,040 kg.
- Transportation required a specialized Flat Rack container.
- High standards for securing the structure during ocean transport.
- Customs clearance was required upon the cargo's arrival in Poland.
Our Solution
- We selected ocean freight using a Flat Rack container, specifically designed for oversized and non-standard cargo.
- We developed a loading and securing plan for the modular house to ensure its safety throughout the nearly two-month sea voyage.
- We organized cargo handling at the Port of Qingdao and supervised the loading process.
- We prepared all shipping documentation and arranged ocean transportation from China to Poland.
- Upon arrival at the Port of Gdańsk, we completed the customs clearance process.
- We coordinated every stage of the shipment to ensure smooth execution from origin to destination.
Results
- The modular house arrived in Poland in perfect condition.
- Using a Flat Rack container eliminated the need to dismantle the structure, avoiding additional disassembly and reassembly costs.
- The client received a comprehensive service covering both international transportation and customs clearance.
- Careful planning ensured the delivery was completed on schedule, with every stage of the project proceeding without complications.
