From Finland to Vietnam: The Epic Journey of Two Mantsinen 300ES Cranes
From Finland to Vietnam: The Epic Journey of Two Mantsinen 300ES Cranes
In a logistical feat spanning continents, two 400 MT Mantsinen 300ES cranes, known for their heavy-duty efficiency, embarked on a 27,800-kilometer journey by sea from the Port of Rauma, Finland, to Dung Quat, Vietnam. The project was a collaborative effort involving UTC Overseas Finland and their partners who expertly navigated the challenges of transporting these rail-mounted behemoths.
Mantsinen 300ES Cranes
The Mantsinen 300ES cranes are among the world’s most efficient material handlers, capable of tackling the toughest operations. While their size and width are crucial for their functionality, they present unique challenges during transport, especially for a journey of this magnitude.
To address the challenges posed by the size of the cranes, Vuorsola provided new self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs). These cutting-edge transporters ensured the safe and smooth handling of the machines at every stage of the process. The team also worked closely with the port authorities and stevedores to create space in the container yard, enabling seamless operations during the loading phase.
Despite the complexity of the task, meticulous planning and collaboration paid off. After positioning the cranes, the weather cleared, and the sun broke through—a fitting sign for the smooth lifts and absence of delays that followed.
Teamwork
The transport required seamless coordination between all parties involved. The collaboration with port authorities and stevedores not only ensured operational efficiency but also highlighted the importance of teamwork in large-scale international projects.
The cranes were unloaded at Dung Quat, Vietnam, where they underwent rigorous testing to ensure they were fully operational. The project was an exciting challenge, leaving the team with a sense of pride in their achievement.
As the cranes are prepared to begin their heavy-duty operations in Vietnam, the successful journey stands as a testament to UTC’s power of innovation, collaboration, and meticulous planning in overcoming logistical challenges on a global scale.
