China’s Protranser delivered an energy storage cabinet weighing 48 tonnes from Qingdao, China to Iraq.
The class 9 dangerous goods cargo measured 7.7 m x 3 m x 3.3 m.
Protranser said that Qingdao Port had no record of handling dangerous goods cargo as a breakbulk shipment, so it had to mobilise autocranes, coordinate with the port authority, deliver empty flatrack containers, as well as the and cargo, to the port separately.
Maritime declaration and port coordination were some hurdles in the project move, but Protranser – with the help of its partners – successfully completed the delivery to Iraq.
In September 2024, Protranser delivered air cooler equipment from China to Iraq.
