The cargo was stored at a factory in Saraburi Province, far from Thailand’s industrial and service centers. The survey, cleaning, and fumigation planning according to Australian standards posed significant challenges and additional costs. However, VLC proactively coordinated personnel and equipment to complete the work on schedule.

Toolbox Meeting

The project had a tight timeline, coinciding with major holidays such as Christmas, New Year, and Lunar New Year. VLC demonstrated flexibility in planning and arranging vessel schedules to meet customer requirements, while closely monitoring and providing daily updates to ensure no delays.

Australia imposes strict import standards on machinery hygiene, requiring the use of specialized chemicals and materials, some of which could impact workers’ health during implementation. VLC strictly followed procedures, ensuring the cargo fully met the requirements and was successfully imported.
