Out of Gauge (OOG) cargo is any cargo that cannot be loaded into six-sided shipping containers due to its weight and size exceeding the standard dimension. OV Logistics team for Project cargo and OOG management in Myanmar understands this all too well.
When dealing with OOG cargoes, undertaking detailed scoping and planning activities are by far the most important actions. The gathering of accurate information is essential not only for the cargo but also for the various parts of the journey from collection to delivery.
Our team for Project cargo and OOG management in Myanmar will gather information such as the handling capacity of origin and destination, site requirements, site access, cargo sensitivity as well as the type and capacity of cranes needed. Next, they will get technical details about the cargo. This will identify the cargo dimensions, the center of gravity and lifting points,
determining the appropriate equipment and lashing required – to haul, lift and secure the cargo. Technical diagrams will also be used by a vessel or aircraft loadmaster when developing a load plan. We have a vetted network of suppliers, who specialize in different tasks and operate through all regions of Myanmar. This works in our client’s favour, ensuring cost-effective handling by competent suppliers.
OV Logistics team for Project cargo and OOG management in Myanmar will then develop a plan considering the unique requirements of the project. The more complex a project, the more substantial the plan must be. The plan will address all operational inputs; from the time the cargo is ready at the origin facility to the point, when the cargo is delivered to the destination facility including a road routing survey as well as a survey of pick-up and delivery points including their operating hours.
Customs Clearance is another fundamental activity in OOG project cargo movement and if improperly administered, could have substantial financial implications. OV Logistics team for Project cargo and OOG management in Myanmar works with our dedicated in-house Customs and Trade Compliance team to review the various customs requirements for the cargo being moved and look to audit all shipping documentation, ensuring all things are in order.
With over 30 years of experience in handling various commercial and governmental projects from Energy, Oil & Gas, to Telecoms and Mining under our belt, our team for Project cargo and OOG management in Myanmar has maintained the highest standards of precision and professionalism, ensuring that even the most odd-sized cargo is transported safely and efficiently to and from every region in Myanmar.
