Successfully Delivering Project Cargo: From Qingdao to Mardie, Western Australia


The Challenge

Shipping project cargo of this scale to a remote mining site requires more than just moving freight, it demands precision logistics, meticulous planning, and seamless execution. Our 1UP Cargo team was entrusted with 6 x 40’ open-top containers from Qingdao, China, destined for a mining site in Mardie, Western Australia.


The 1UP SolutionFrom the outset, our team took ownership of the end-to-end operation. Once the cargo arrived at Fremantle port, we coordinated clearance, unpacking, inspection, and final delivery to the site. We worked closely with the appointed transporter and warehouse to capture necessary photographs and evidence of handling, ensuring full documentation for our client and internal quality control.


Our operational process included detailed load planning, compliance oversight, multi-modal coordination, customs clearance, and milestone communications between Qingdao, Fremantle, and site delivery teams. Everyone involved understood that even small delays in this remote region could impact the project timeline.


Technical Summary

  • Origin: Qingdao, China

  • Port of Discharge: Fremantle, Western Australia

  • Commodity: Mining equipment in 6 x 40’ OT containers

  • Scope: Customs clearance, unpack, inspection, and final delivery to a mining site in Mardie

  • Challenges: Remote destination, need for clear photographic reporting, and consistent feedback from 3rd party service providers.


The Outcome

Despite logistical challenges and remote delivery conditions, our team delivered the project cargo securely and on schedule. The mining equipment arrived intact, processed efficiently through Fremantle, and was transported to the final site in Mardie with full chain of custody and documentation. This operation once again showed the value of cross-office coordination, attention to detail, and proactive problem solving across borders.

At 1UP Cargo, complex project cargo is not the exception, it is the standard.
