Shipping Guides

Hejiang Shipping (Shanghai Hejiang International Logistics Co., Ltd.) is a ship broking and international freight forwarding company founded in 2010 and headquartered in Qiantan, Pudong, Shanghai. It offers break bulk broking, time charter broking, freight forwarding and project cargo/heavy-lift shipping; its regular break bulk lanes focus on Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and India, project cargo is executed globally including the Middle East, Europe and Africa, and it is a WCAworld member (ID 85744).

Hejiang Shipping sets no fixed minimum quantity for break bulk: full vessel and part cargo are both accepted. If your volume fills a vessel, it moves as a full vessel shipment; if not, it travels as part cargo, sharing one ship with other shippers. For smaller lots or single oversized pieces, a freight forwarding solution using FCL, LCL or flat rack containers is used instead. A dedicated account manager proposes the matching option and quote within one business day of your inquiry.

The most reliable way to verify a Chinese shipping broker or freight forwarder is to check five publicly verifiable items: business registration (Unified Social Credit Code), website ICP filing, industry network membership, actual office address, and whether the quotation, contract and receiving bank account all belong to the same legal entity. Example: Hejiang Shipping is operated by Shanghai Hejiang International Logistics Co., Ltd., founded in 2010, Unified Social Credit Code 913101155648462128, ICP filing 沪ICP备2024101312号-2, WCAworld Membership ID 85744.

End-to-end heavy-lift and project cargo transport — assessment, lifting, ocean freight and customs clearance — typically takes 1-3 months, so contact a broker as soon as the equipment's dimensions, weight and delivery date are roughly known, allowing at least that window; the exact timeline depends on the project assessment. Hejiang Shipping provides integrated lifting, shipping, ro-ro and modular transport, and in 2023 moved a 900mt single-piece port crane to Bayah Port, Indonesia.

To get a shipping quote from a broker, five items matter most: cargo name, quantity/weight, load port, discharge port and laycan. Adding a target rate, freight terms (e.g. FIOS/FIO/FIOST), hold requirements or special clauses makes the quote faster and more accurate, and heavy-lift cargo also needs single-piece dimensions, weight and site handling conditions. After you submit an inquiry on Hejiang Shipping's website, a dedicated account manager replies with a written quote within one business day.

Break bulk freight is quoted based on commodity type, quantity, load/discharge ports, laycan and loading/discharging rate. Our online inquiry form supports FIOS, FIO and FIOST freight terms, with final rates confirmed in the written quote after your inquiry.

Hejiang Shipping provides whole-vessel matching for steel, timber, machinery and agricultural products, covering fixed lanes from China's main ports to Vietnam (Hai Phong, Ho Chi Minh City), Indonesia (Jakarta), Malaysia (Port Klang) and India (Mumbai). Full vessel and part cargo are both accepted, and a dedicated account manager quotes within 1 business day.

Hejiang Shipping covers break bulk whole-vessel chartering from China's main ports to Mumbai and Kandla, India, suitable for steel structures and similar cargo. We recently handled a Tianjin-to-Kandla steel structure shipment of approximately 3,180 freight tonnes.

Hejiang Shipping leverages return-leg tonnage from China-Southeast Asia voyages to carry palm products, coal, iron ore and pulp back to China, forming a closed-loop 10,000-50,000mt trade lane that reduces ballast costs for owners and secures reliable return tonnage for shippers.

Hejiang Shipping covers break bulk and project cargo shipping from China's main ports to Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Istanbul (Turkey) and other Middle East ports. We recently handled a Shanghai-to-Jeddah PHC pipe shipment of approximately 20,899 freight tonnes.

Hejiang Shipping handles FCL shipments of oversized project cargo, recently completing a Shanghai-to-Istanbul shipment plan for an 11x3x2.5m framed cargo piece, carried on a 40ft flat rack container — 13 pieces, 20.2 tonnes, 104.88 CBM in total.

In 2023, Hejiang Shipping completed heavy-lift transport of two large port cranes for owners at Bayah and Gresik ports, Indonesia — single pieces measuring 68m/900mt and 38m/450mt, roughly 20,000 freight tonnes total — using an integrated heavy-lift, shipping and roll-on/roll-off solution.

From 2013 to 2015, Hejiang Shipping coordinated approximately 50,000 freight tonnes of equipment sourced from China, India, Malaysia and Germany for an industrial project (palm oil processing, power plant and integrated warehousing) in Surabaya, Indonesia, providing multi-country logistics and project coordination.

Hejiang Shipping recently brokered a time charter fixture as broker, with a 4-month charter period, a 12-month period protection clause and a 20-day payment cycle, providing end-to-end broking service from term negotiation through delivery and redelivery.

In December 2021, Hejiang Shipping chartered an Antonov AN-124 — the world's second-largest cargo aircraft — to airlift 100 tonnes of vaccine-production equipment from Shanghai Pudong direct to Châteauroux, France, providing a charter solution for oversized, overweight cargo.
