Project:

Sun Cargo was requested to deliver 18 pieces of over-sized (1390cm length) and heavy lifted (11000kg) machinery from Shanghai, China to Brisbane, Australia for highway construction within 20 days.

A crew of 47 staff responsible for cargo lashing and protection in both China and Australia.
