Landing ports and capacity tier
The landing point for a TBM is all but fixed by piece size: among Makassar, Balikpapan only those with heavy-lift yards and lifting windows can take it, with waiting bands below.
| Tier | Ports on this page | Capacity form | Waiting band |
|---|---|---|---|
| A · Commercial mainline | Makassar, Balikpapan | Container liner service, carries general cargo | Several sailings weekly — wait negligible |
What actually decides this lane
For TBM and tunnelling equipment sequence decides the outcome: landing ports Makassar, Balikpapan, then the tier reading A · Commercial mainline — Several sailings weekly — wait negligible; A · Commercial mainline — Several sailings weekly — wait negligible. Check the call list before pricing and the quote survives the first phone call.
How this shipment moves
For TBM and tunnelling equipment, size first then check the call list: the longest side and heaviest piece decide whether it fits a box, while the call list decides whether a liner exists at all. Reverse the two and the work restarts.
How this page's basis is used
To plan TBM and tunnelling equipment, choose among these landing points first: Makassar, Balikpapan, with waiting and capacity forms at A · Commercial mainline — Several sailings weekly — wait negligible; A · Commercial mainline — Several sailings weekly — wait negligible. Move the same shipment to another landing port and both the plan and the time cost change, so fix the port before quoting.
The three mistakes this lane punishes hardest
- Do not size TBM and tunnelling equipment by total tonnage — sizing looks at the longest side and heaviest piece; one out-of-gauge piece still cannot be boxed.
- Write on-site reassembly responsibility into the TBM and tunnelling equipment contract — boilers and TBMs often need it.
- Write on-site assembly and lifting responsibility into the TBM and tunnelling equipment contract; splitting blame after breakbulk lands is where disputes start.
Frequently asked, standard answers
Why must waiting appear on the TBM and tunnelling equipment quote?
Capacity forms at the TBM and tunnelling equipment landing ports differ sharply: A · Commercial mainline — Several sailings weekly — wait negligible; A · Commercial mainline — Several sailings weekly — wait negligible. On breakbulk the waiting often costs more than the voyage, so it needs its own line.
If TBM and tunnelling equipment switches landing port, which lines must be recomputed?
Switching the port for TBM and tunnelling equipment moves at least three lines: the waiting band, the transhipment need and the handling conditions; the basis at Makassar, Balikpapan is A · Commercial mainline — Several sailings weekly — wait negligible; A · Commercial mainline — Several sailings weekly — wait negligible.
