Analyse The Time Delays Challenges in Over Dimensional Cargo Transportation

Over Dimensional Cargo (ODC) transit presents unique logistical challenges due to its non-standard size, weight, and handling requirements. This study investigates the primary causes of delays in ODC transportation, focusing on port and road transit within the Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) model. Inefficiencies such as complex documentation, bureaucratic barriers, infrastructure limitations, and fragmented coordination among stakeholders contribute to delays and higher costs. The research analyzes best practices in ODC packaging, securing, and delivery, addressing the impact of technical, infrastructure, and environmental factors. It proposes solutions like real-time tracking, simplified permitting, enhanced safety measures, and integrated digital platforms to improve efficiency, reduce delays, and promote sustainable logistics practices.
