In 2019, Jurong Port launched the “Best Practice Guidelines for Stowage and Securing of Steel Cargo”, a set of industry best practice guidelines that looks to spearhead improvements for steel cargo handling in the ports and carriage by sea. The publication provides comprehensive guidelines on loading, stowage and securing, and advice on bundling, lashing, dunnage for various types of steel cargo such as rebars, coils, plates, pipes, structural steel amongst others to improve safety and productivity standards of cargo discharge operations. The guidelines have also received global support from port authorities, shipping associations, maritime insurance groups and regional ports who have participated in the drive for enhanced safety best practices.

Working together with a reputable manufacturer, our side loaders are customised to provide a safer and more efficient handling experience for all kinds of steel.
These specialised machines are used to simultaneously lift and transport cargoes including long loads like rebars (>12m) and steel pipes. They are capable of handling more steel coils than the standard trailer or forklift, with newer technologies and automation effectively reducing labour dependency by 33% while maintaining cargo quality and safety standards.
To set the bar even higher, we continue to innovate and explore automation initiatives to improve cargo handling across all our service offerings.
