Xiamen Rosen Shipping and Transworld Group Execute Project Cargo Shipment of Heat Exchanger Tube Bundles from Shanghai to Lekki

What Was the Scope of the Shipment?

Xiamen Rosen Shipping Co., Ltd, a member of the Mega Move Alliance (MMA), together with Transworld Group, also a proud MMA member, recently executed the handling and outbound coordination of industrial heat exchanger tube bundles from Shanghai, China, to Lekki, Nigeria. The shipment involved five 40-foot flat racks loaded with over-height cargo, requiring specialized equipment and procedural accuracy typical of international project cargo operations.

This move demonstrates both companies’ capability in navigating heavy equipment flows across global trade lanes and highlights the growing relevance of collaborative networks such as the Mega Move Alliance (MMA) in modern project logistics.

How Was the Operation Carried Out?

The shipment originated at the Port of Shanghai, one of the world’s busiest container terminals, where heat exchanger tube bundles were prepared, lashing-secured, and loaded onto five 40-foot flat rack containers due to height constraints.

Given the oversized nature of the cargo, proper stowage and vessel planning were required to ensure both safety and compliance with maritime transport standards. The operation also involved strong inter-network cooperation, as Xiamen Rosen Shipping Co., Ltd partnered with fellow MMA member Transworld to manage logistics coordination and destination-side communication.

This partnership exemplifies how a reliable project network can streamline complex, multi-jurisdictional movements where documentation, origin coordination, and destination visibility are critical.

Why Is This Shipment Important for Project Logistics?

Heat exchanger tube bundles are critical components in energy plants, petrochemical facilities, and industrial processing environments. Their movement often supports regional construction, maintenance, or capacity expansion projects, tying logistics performance directly to industrial progress.

Africa—particularly West Africa—is experiencing steady demand for industrial machinery and components tied to power, refining, and manufacturing investments. Lagos/Lekki has emerged as a strategic entry point for such equipment due to its developing industrial and free zone infrastructure.

This shipment highlights several important trends:

• International carriers are increasingly handling engineered cargo for developing markets.
• Heavy industrial imports into West Africa are accelerating due to infrastructure investment.
• Global project logistics networks such as the MMA play a key enabling role by connecting reliable regional partners.

Collaboration between MMA members not only enhances operational efficiency but also provides shippers and EPC stakeholders with added confidence, oversight, and communication reliability.
