Total Movements, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) in India, successfully executed this Port-to-Door movement of large ODCs and related general cargo consisting of 2000 freight tons of critical power plant equipment from the load port in India up to the foundation in USA.
The scope of work for this project movement was explained by a company spokesperson:
- Shipping of the Breakbulk cargoes from Indian port to the discharge port in the USA
- Receiving the cargoes under the vessel hook at the discharge port.
- Import custom clearance and port handling.

The key features of this movement involved:
