Beyond Shipping: Engineering a Seamless Journey for a Double-Decker Bus from Malaysia to Tianjin

We were entrusted with a critical and highly specialized task: arranging the door-to-door movement of a double-decker bus from Malaysia to Tianjin for essential testing purposes. This wasn't a standard container shipment; it required a meticulously engineered plan, built on precision, local expertise, and flawless coordination.

The Challenge: Precision in Every Leg of the Journey

Transporting an oversized, high-value item like a double-decker bus requires more than just a truck; it demands a project-specific strategy. The route involved multiple jurisdictions and potential bottlenecks, demanding a proactive and agile approach.

Pacific Global Association's Member (Intermec Logistics - Malaysia) tailored solution: A Symphony of Coordination

Intermec's team developed a phased plan to ensure efficiency and compliance at every step:

Initial Movement in Malaysia:​ We utilized a specialized towing method to collect the bus directly from the shipper's door, ensuring

safe handling from the very start.

Seamless Border Crossing (Malaysia-Singapore):​ Understanding that checkpoints can be major hurdles, we pre-arranged for a strategic change of the towing truck at the Malaysia-Singapore border. This critical step prevented delays and ensured a smooth transition between countries.

Final Delivery in Tianjin:​ Upon the bus's arrival at the port of Tianjin, our expertise shifted to the final mile. We applied the Carnet method (a critical customs document for temporary imports) and expertly loaded the bus onto a special deck truck for a direct, non-stop delivery to the final destinat

ion for testing.
