EXG executes huge single shipment of BESS cargo
0Express Global Logistics (EXG) in India have executed a huge single shipment of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) cargo.
“The rapid expansion of renewable energy is transforming project logistics, demanding innovative engineering solutions for the transportation of large-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) cargo. Demonstrating our engineering expertise and end-to-end execution capabilities, Express Global Logistics successfully executed the world’s biggest single shipment of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), transporting 300 BESS units on a single vessel and setting a new benchmark in renewable energy logistics.”
The project involved the transportation of 300 BESS units with a total cargo weight of 13,454mt and a total volume of 12,832cbm through a full charter deck carrier vessel, moving the cargo from the eastern coast of China to western India for delivery to one of the world’s largest hybrid clean energy projects. Executed following the implementation of the revised China MSA regulations on 1 January 2026, the project represents one of the most significant renewable energy logistics operations undertaken on a single voyage.
“Unlike conventional container vessels and multipurpose vessels that would typically accommodate around 180 BESS units, the deck carrier vessel enabled the complete shipment to be transported in a single voyage, minimising cargo handling interfaces, reducing project timelines, and improving overall operational efficiency. The project also marked the first-ever deployment of a deck carrier vessel for large-scale BESS transportation.”
EXG managed the complete engineering and logistics execution, from advanced marine calculations, engineering approvals, and voyage planning to full charter vessel operations, synchronized port handling, customs clearance, and final site delivery. The scope included technical assessments, stability analysis, deck strength calculations, stowage planning, lashing engineering, marine coordination, customs clearance, port handling, ocean transportation, inter-carting, and door delivery.
As the vessel was not equipped with conventional container shoes, EXG engineered a customised cargo securing solution, including complete lashing arrangements, sea-fastening methodology, and deck configuration specifically designed to meet Marine Warranty Surveyor (MWS) and insurance requirements. Comprehensive deck strength calculations, specialised cargo securing systems, and detailed engineering assessments ensured the safe transportation of hazardous BESS cargo throughout the ocean voyage, even under demanding sea conditions.
Upon arrival at India’s western maritime gateway, EXG executed synchronised discharge operations, customs clearance, inter-carting, and final inland transportation using their specialised hydraulic trailer fleet. The shipment was delivered safely and efficiently to one of the world’s largest hybrid clean energy projects, ensuring seamless last-mile connectivity for all 300 BESS units while maintaining the highest standards of operational safety and precision.
This landmark project showcases EXG’s ability to combine engineering excellence, marine expertise, specialised heavy transport assets, and integrated project logistics to deliver complex, high-value renewable energy cargo safely, efficiently, and at an unprecedented scale. By executing this single shipment of BESS cargo and delivering safely and efficiently, EXG continues to support the global energy transition through innovative logistics solutions that move the world’s most critical infrastructure with precision and reliability.
