Carrier Selection Global & Coastal

Ocean Transport

Ocean Transport

Through years of strategic collaboration, Wheel & Time has built a Global Network of Heavy lift Vessel Fleet Owners. Leveraging these partnerships, we facilitate the transportation of Heavy lift and Project Cargo internationally and domestically along the Indian Coastal Route, from Jamnagar on the West Coast to Haldia on the East Coast.

Recognized for our reliability and expertise, we are a trusted logistics provider for Vessel Owners, EPC Contractors, Fabricators, Heavy Engineering Firms, Ports, and Infrastructure Companies.

The modes of Ocean Transport we use are:

  • Heavy lift Self Geared Vessels (Lifting Capacity up to 2500 tons)
  • Heavy lift Deck Carriers (DWT 20,000 tons or more)
  • Heavy lift Multi Carrying Vessels
  • Semi-Submersible & Fully Submersible Vessels
  • Heavy lift Flat Top Dumb Barges (250 Class)
  • Wet Towages

 

In the process of selecting the most suitable Vessel, we carefully evaluate Owners’ Proposals. This assessment includes method statements provided by the owners, stow and lifting plans, stability and securing calculations, vessel routing, transit time considerations, booking terms and conditions and competitive freight rates.
