Transport engineering incorporates pre-planning, and on-site support can ensure perfect project execution – even if circumstances suddenly change. With proper pre-planning and project execution, we can avoid risks and reduce costs for your transport.
With the complexity and diversity of our industry, we employ the best individuals that meet your requirements. We will ensure the suitability of the transport engineer before assigning to your project. Making the right decision when issues occur takes an expert for the situation and the commodity. From hydraulic trailer operation experts to heavy-lift port captains, we can cover all aspects of project cargo. In addition to decades of transport engineering experience, we are knowledgeable about the commercial challenges.
Feasibility study
We conduct evaluations to determine the suitability of the specific cargo transported, the possible transport methods and the maximum cargo dimensions and weights transporting via a particular route.
The study informs the shipper about the expected risks and challenges for transportation. Risks and challenges include abnormal weights, dimensions or remote areas.
Typically performed at an early stage, the results can also influence the final cargo design or transportation method.
Transport consulting
Rhenus New Zealand supports during the construction process – evaluating lifting and lashing possibilities for cargo at early stages. We also analyse the minimum requirements for vessels, cranes or trailers and develop alternative transport concepts.
Method statements
We compile and verify method statements for various kinds of operations.
A method statement is a structured document illustrating the complete transportation (or parts of it) in a step-by-step manual. It contains, for instance, lifting arrangements, cargo securing, risk assessments and other documents. It is also known as the “operations manual”.
Quality management
As of now, quality management is one of the core processes of the project logistics industry. Knowledge to anticipate risks, develop procedures and lower risks are essential to creating safe and efficient transport.
Stowage plans
At your request, Rhenus New Zealand creates preliminary and final stowage plans for your transport. Stowage plans provide an overview of the cargo on board a vessel and the planned stowage position. They also illustrate different views and decks of the vessel together with cargo information and crane outreaches.
Lifting arrangements
Lifting arrangements are illustrations of a planned lift. They provide the planned procedure with detailed information such as the ideal outreach, lifting gear, the number of cranes and individual loads on the hook. They also evaluate the off-centre COG (centre of gravity) and lifting height.
Lashing arrangements
An illustration and calculation of the required cargo secure the specific voyage or cargo.
This illustration contains acting forces, lashing, materials, methods, rules and regulations and more.
Crane and trailer simulations
These are step-by-step illustrations of, for instance, the loading operation or turning of a trailer with out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo.
Mooring arrangements
Mooring arrangements and mooring analyses are studies of the approach and mooring operation, e.g. for RoRo (roll-on / roll-off) operations or special jetties to illustrate the planned rope arrangement and position of the barge or vessel at the quay or during ship-to-ship operations.
Port captain
The port captain or supercargo/supervisor is a consultant to the master/chief officer. Being an expert for the cargo and briefed for the expected loading, they will support the vessel’s crew during loading/discharging and cargo securing through their expertise.
Site operator
The site operator is present on-site and assists in loading, discharging operations and cargo management during the project.
Besides being responsible for transport engineering, they will also take on a role in transport coordination, storage and offloading based on the customer’s project schedule.
Trailer operator
The trailer operator operates self-propelled trailers or steers the axle lines and hydraulics on multi-axle trailers. They are present during complex transports or unique job site requirements and are responsible for loading/offloading the trailers with hydraulics.
Route survey
The route survey aims to develop a route for concept transportation considering bridges, overhead wires and other obstacles before the actual transport. It also includes turning the radio en route and following the journey to supervise and document the transportation.
Loading / Discharging survey
These involve attending vessels or job sites to verify and ensure the best execution for the operation. Our experts will document the journey and get involved to provide smooth, quick and safe transportation with the risks reduced to a minimum.
Preloading survey
This survey evaluates the condition or packaging of the cargo before loading, e.g. to gain information on stackability / broken stowage before loading or to prepare a condition report if required by any party involved.
Damage survey
The damage survey analyses the full range of project cargo damaged after an incident has occurred.
The final report has the detailed documentation and expertise provided.
