AsstrA Completes Two-Day Delivery of Heavy Equipment from China to South Korea

AsstrA delivered two heavy units from China to South Korea in two days with pre-approved loading and seamless terminal coordination.

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, April 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- International transport and logistics company AsstrA delivered heavy industrial equipment components from China to South Korea in just two days, despite peak infrastructure congestion ahead of the holiday period.

Two units of equipment, each weighing over 40 tons, were prepared for shipment. One of them, weighing 45.5 tons, required direct loading onto the vessel using a specially engineered handling and stowage plan.

The logistics chain included pick-up from a manufacturing site in Wuxi, road transportation to Changshu Port, and sea shipment to Busan.
A key success factor of the project was the advance planning of the loading operations. AsstrA experts, in close coordination with the terminal in Changshu, pre-approved the stowage and lashing scheme prior to the vessel’s arrival. This ensured immediate loading without berth waiting time and helped avoid additional costs.

The project was executed within a tight timeframe: the solution was developed on the day of the request, and cargo collection was arranged over the weekend. During road transportation, the equipment was protected with tarpaulin covering.

“It was essential not only to meet the deadline but also to ensure a stable shipment ahead of the holidays. Thanks to precise coordination with the terminal, we avoided delays and completed the delivery as scheduled,” comments Jihong (Valerie) Zhang, OOG/HL Specialist, AsstrA IPL China Division.
In heavy and oversized cargo logistics, decisions made at the request handling stage are crucial. In this project, it was the well-structured loading approach that enabled the shipment to be completed without time loss.
