Case Study: High Hygiene and Flammable FMCG Cargo Transport from Chennai to Bhutan
Overview
A top tier FMCG manufacturer relied on our successful responsible and safe transport company to move extremely hygiene sensitive high value and flammable finished products from Chennai Port to Phuentsholing Bhutan. The 2500 kilometer route crossed diverse terrain and an international border. Each treated in gauge container weighed about 6 metric tons and required pristine conditions throughout the journey.
Challenge
- Moving this cargo meant meeting four non negotiable requirements
- Hygiene sensitivity demanded that every vehicle be fully washed treated and certified sterile before loading
- High value and flammable nature called for strict safety checks fire suppression equipment and maximum driver vigilance
- First time export via this land port required us to design fresh customs and inspection workflows
