Shreyas Shipping & Logistics Limited - Efficient Ship-to-Ship Operations for Car Nicobar Airstrip Construction

Shreyas Shipping & Logistics Limited (SSLL) successfully executed a complex logistical project involving the transportation of construction materials in support of a critical development project. This case study details the meticulous planning and execution of seven consecutive Ship-to-Ship (STS) operations conducted between October 2023 and March 2024.

Project Scope: The project involved transporting construction materials from Visakhapatnam (Vizag) port to Car Nicobar Island for the restoration of an airstrip. Due to limitations at Car Nicobar's harbor, a direct discharge from the supplying vessel, M.V. SSL Sabarimalai, was not feasible. SSLL devised a solution utilizing STS operations to efficiently transfer the cargo to barges for final delivery to the island.

Challenge: Remote Location: Car Nicobar Island's remoteness presented logistical challenges in coordinating and executing the STS operations. Limited Harbor Infrastructure: The lack of proper harbor facilities at Car Nicobar necessitated the STS transfers. Manual Offloading: The absence of mechanized offloading equipment on the barges required manual unloading, demanding a skilled and dedicated workforce. Sea Conditions: Ensuring safe and efficient cargo transfer during STS operations amidst variable sea conditions was crucial.

SSLL's Solution: SSLL's expertise in maritime operations and commitment to client satisfaction ensured the project's success. Here's how we tackled the challenges: Meticulous Planning: SSLL meticulously planned the ship-to-ship (STS) operations, considering factors like weather forecasts, tides, and cargo weight distribution. Experienced Crew: A highly skilled and experienced crew aboard M.V. SSL Sabarimalai ensured safe and efficient cargo handling throughout the STS transfers. Manual Labor Expertise: SSLL employed a dedicated team of professionals for the manual offloading of cargo from the barges to the site. Real-time Monitoring: Continuous monitoring of weather conditions and operational progress ensured timely adjustments and maintained safety protocols.
