Flomic Ships 850-Tonne Steel Plant Machinery from Mumbai to Lagos in Major Cargo Operation

Flomic Global Logistics Ltd has successfully transported heavy industrial equipment for a steel melting plant from India to Nigeria, marking another milestone in complex international project cargo movements. The specialized shipment included machinery for a 500 tonnes-per-day Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plant, which will form the backbone of a complete steel manufacturing production line. The equipment traveled from Mumbai Port to Lagos on CIF terms.

The operation involved moving 115 cargo packages weighing a combined 850,595 kilograms across 1,120.902 cubic meters of space. Among the transported items were specialized machinery and installation components essential for setting up the steel melting facility. The entire cargo carried a value of roughly USD 3.04 million.

Given the sophisticated nature of the equipment, the project demanded meticulous planning and tight coordination to guarantee safe passage and timely delivery. Flomic managed every phase of the operation—from ocean freight planning and vessel coordination to specialized heavy machinery handling and overseeing cargo securing during loading. The MV Ultra Agulhas carried the shipment and delivered it according to schedule.

Lancy Barboza explained that large-scale project cargo demands precise planning and seamless coordination between various logistics partners. He emphasized that this operation showcases the company's capability to handle high-value industrial shipments while upholding rigorous operational and safety protocols.
