As Syria’s post-war reconstruction accelerates, Chinese-made construction machinery is becoming a vital force in local infrastructure development. Recently, a batch of wheel excavators shipped from China to Syria was successfully transported by TIANJIN E-CHAIN LOGISTICS SUPPLY-CHAIN CO., LTD, which completed the full international ocean freight operation. The key equipment has arrived safely at Syria’s Port of Latakia and will primarily be used for core infrastructure projects including road reconstruction, municipal pipeline networks, and post-war debris clearing.
Wheel excavators, as highly mobile engineering equipment, offer greater maneuverability than tracked models for rapid relocation across Syrian city streets and repaired highways, making them a significant portion of this shipment order. However, exporting construction machinery to Syria presents numerous logistical challenges: long shipping distances, complex loading and unloading operations, and intricate customs clearance at the destination port. Leveraging its expertise in breakbulk shipping, Tianjin E-Chain Logistics developed a customized door-to-door integrated logistics solution for this equipment.
The domestic loading port for this shipment was Lianyungang Port — a core departure point on China-Syria trade routes. The vessel set sail from Lianyungang Port, traversed the South China Sea, the Strait of Malacca, and the Indian Ocean, transited the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea, and finally docked at Port of Latakia , Syria’s largest commercial port. The total voyage lasted approximately 34 days.
As oversized and overweight cargo, wheel excavators require critical lashing and securing procedures to ensure transport safety. Tianjin E-Chain Logistics’ technical team developed specialized flat rack container and deck breakbulk vessel stowage plans based on the equipment’s center of gravity and structural characteristics. By utilizing high-strength steel wire ropes, I-beam welding fixtures, and wooden chocks, the team ensured the equipment withstood rough seas and rolling conditions during the ocean voyage, achieving “zero-damage” delivery.
Upon arrival at Latakia Port, the equipment was safely discharged using local heavy-lift floating cranes (with a maximum lifting capacity of 100 tons) and various shore cranes. Through its local partner agents, Tianjin E-Chain Logistics completed all customs clearance procedures in advance, including notarized commercial invoice legalization, Certificate of Origin verification, and post-war special cargo inspections.
As Syria is in a critical reconstruction phase, the government has implemented certain tariff reduction and exemption policies for heavy machinery imports. Tianjin E-Chain Logistics assisted clients in applying for temporary import duty exemptions under reconstruction projects, significantly reducing overall import costs. The company also coordinated flatbed trailers and truck-mounted cranes to deliver the equipment directly to construction sites around Aleppo or Damascus, achieving true “port-to-door” seamless delivery.

Break Bulk Vessel is a type of cargo vessel designed to transport non-containerized cargo. Unlike container ships that load standardized containers, break bulk vessels load cargo piece by piece, usually using onboard cranes or port lifting equipment. They are widely used for oversized, heavy, irregular-shaped, and project cargo that cannot fit into standard containers.
In Ro-Ro shipping, high and low deck space prices are the core factors determining the transportation costs of vehicles/construction machinery. Many shippers overpay for bookings because they are unclear about the distinction between high and low deck space and the pricing logic. Let’s explain clearly: what high/low deck space is, how much the price difference is, and how to choose the most cost-effective option.

Door-to-door shipping is a service. Freight forwarders ensure that goods are picked up from a specific location and ultimately arrive at a specific destination via a city within the shipping area. Choosing the best method from E-Chain Logistics depends on what you need to ship, where you need to ship, the cost, and the shipping time.
Whether to choose FCL (Full Container Load) or breakbulk vessels depends not on price, but on cargo dimensions, shape, value, and transit time. Cargo that can fit into containers is safer, more stable, and more convenient via FCL. For over-dimensional, oversized, or non-containerizable cargo, breakbulk shipping is the only option.

Vietnam is rapidly emerging as a new engine for manufacturing in Southeast Asia, driving sustained growth in demand for liquid chemicals across industries such as coatings, adhesives, textile auxiliaries, and industrial cleaners. Data shows that China’s chemical exports to Vietnam consistently rank among the highest, with liquid products (e.g., ethyl acetate, polyether, water-reducing agents, hydrogen peroxide, etc.) accounting for a growing share.
However, the transport of liquid chemicals presents three major challenges: high packaging costs, significant maritime risks, and stringent customs clearance requirements.
