Engineering logistics delivery transportation risk

When it comes to delivery and transportation, we often consider packaging, fumigation, customs declaration, random inspection, as well as various INCOTERMS clauses, large-scale transportation insurance company witnesses, etc. Risks can be described as ubiquitous. However, sometimes there are still some problems or losses in the packaging classification, shipment batch, tax number selection, export customs declaration operation and tax refund that we do not pay much attention to. This is not only a matter of logistics and transportation, but also requires the cooperation of project, financial, legal, and tax personnel. Because of the high complexity of overseas engineering projects, various problems will often arise without overall risk management.

Several Key Links of International EPC Project Engineering Logistics Management

1. Reasonable planning of international logistics routes. The materials used in international EPC projects are divided into two categories: normal materials and Super overload materials. Normal materials mainly refer to materials and equipment that can complete logistics tasks by general means of transport or normal transport routes; Super overload materials mainly refer to the equipment and prefabricated parts used in international EPC projects, such as the length, width, weight, etc., which seriously exceed the limit of the normal line, and the general transportation tools and lines cannot meet the transportation needs. Reasonable planning of transportation routes is to plan the routes of these two types of materials separately to ensure the arrival time and control the logistics cost.

2, Choose a logistics service provider that meets your requirements. The so-called meeting the requirements means complying with national laws and regulations, complying with the relevant system requirements of the enterprise, and the logistics service provider can be competent for logistics tasks. When the above three points are satisfied at the same time, the selection of logistics service providers is legal and effective. There are various types of large logistics companies in China, and the logistics and transportation of the domestic section will not be a problem in general, but the international EPC projects participated by Chinese engineering contracting enterprises are mostly built in the third world countries with low level of economic and social development or on the islands where the logistics conditions are very poor, so the engineering logistics of the foreign section becomes a bottleneck in the whole logistics process. In the selection process of international engineering logistics service providers, it is necessary to focus on the foreign section logistics transportation of logistics service providers, and in the case of the ability to make field visits, it is better to select the logistics service providers that meet the requirements.

3, International EPC engineering logistics process control. Because the process involves at least 2 customs declarations, both of which have legal effect, the documents of international EPC project logistics contain certain legal meanings. Therefore, the process control of international EPC engineering logistics is essential, and it is necessary to carry out meticulous whole process control: The materials in the container must match the goods list, the bundling of equipment materials after loading on the means of transport, the export port must have a special person to supervise all kinds of business, the import destination needs a special person responsible for customs clearance, materials and equipment need to be counted again after arriving at the destination country to check, etc. All material and equipment information is accurate and controllable in the entire logistics process, so that the logistics process can be effectively controlled.

4, Centralized delivery of materials. The centralized delivery of materials is an important part of the logistics cycle of international EPC projects. Before and after the start of an international EPC project, construction equipment, engineering materials and living materials will be shipped in large quantities to the country where the project is located. The shipment volume may reach the level of special trains, chartered ships or large-scale steam fleet, so advance preparation, good manpower arrangement and good capacity arrangement based on the total plan of centralized shipment, and planning for certain redundancy of capacity are the ways to complete the task of centralized shipment.

Characteristics of International EPC Project Engineering Logistics Management

1. Many links, highly specialized. The project logistics of international projects is generally not completed by the project contracting enterprises themselves, the whole process of logistics, in domestic transportation, port storage, port customs clearance and inspection, international logistics, customs clearance and inspection of the destination country and short reverse transportation, etc., generally involves two or more customs, multiple customs clearance and inspection companies, multiple warehousing and logistics service providers, the whole process involves a lot of links, the professional degree of each link requires a high degree of professionalism. The whole process involves many links and the professionalism of each link is high, and the professionals of each link in the whole process should cooperate closely in order to complete the whole logistics process successfully.

2. Timely arrival of goods to ensure the construction period. International EPC project engineering materials can be divided into two categories: the first category is the materials and equipment of international engineering logistics normally according to the time nodes; the second category is for the sudden emergency needs of materials, the number of such materials accounts for a small part of the total project materials, but is the constraint of international EPC project engineering, so the sudden demand for materials is one of the key points of international engineering logistics management. The logistics task plan for emergency materials needs to be set in advance, and when such situation occurs, it is necessary to start the plan and handle it urgently to guarantee the demand of materials for construction.
