A total of 4.403 units were safely discharged -including passenger vehicles, pick-ups, and heavy machinery- consolidating cargo from multiple origin ports across Asia and South America, including Shanghai, Gunsan, Hitachinaka and Iquique.

Beyond volume, the operation reflects the complexity of mixed cargo handling:

• High-volume automotive flows
• Tracked and hydraulic excavators
• Underground mining loaders (LHD)
• Specialised heavy equipment requiring precise handling protocols

Each unit discharged is not just cargo -it is a coordinated execution involving vessel planning, yard management, equipment allocation and strict operational sequencing.

This is where agency work becomes critical: ensuring timing, accuracy and operational continuity at scale.

At Ian Taylor, we don’t just handle port calls. We take control of the operation.
