Buyer Concern & FAQ
Q: How are steel coils and sheets protected against rust and damage during ocean transport?
A: PPGI.LTD protects steel coils and sheets using a multi-layer packaging system. The inner layer relies on VCI anti-rust paper to absorb moisture and prevent corrosion. The outer protection uses corrugated steel sheets with metal edge protectors. Cargo is bound with heavy-duty steel straps and locked with wooden chocks inside the container to prevent movement.
Q: What is the maximum weight limit for steel coils in a 20ft container?
A: The maximum weight limit for steel products in a 20ft container is 27.5 metric tons, subject to shipping line regulations and destination port limits. Heavy coils require weight-distribution timbers on the container floor to prevent structural overloading.
Q: What are the minimum volume and weight rules for bulk cargo and railway steel freight?
A: Bulk cargo shipments require a minimum quantity of 300 metric tons per order, utilizing vessel hold dunnage and steel lashings. Railway freight operates on a standard capacity of 60 metric tons per wagon, requiring order volumes to be planned in multiples of 60 metric tons.
