Another example of Magnum's dedication to successful outcome for its client requirements was the coordination of a major shipment of heavy equipment from Australia for construction of a 700 megawatt power station on a small island in the Philippines. The cargo, ranging from Shark Cat cruisers to a 200 tonne Manitowoc Crawler Crane, a 3,000 tonne slipway winch purchased and removed under Magnum's supervision from a major shipyard, and an ex-military landing craft, were located in virtually every State of Australia. The consignment was so large and unusual that a ship was specially purchased by the client to undertake the sea voyage. Additionally, Magnum carried out a detailed survey of available major shipping ports to ensure that adequate lifting and handling capacity were on hand together with all necessary infrastructure to ensure smooth loading and departure. Brisbane, Queensland was eventually selected and the loading was carried out at the terminal of CONAUST Australia in the Brisbane River. Some 23 semi-trailers, several low-loaders and a marine tug were involved to delivery the equipment. The Manitowoc crane alone required 11 semi-trailers plus 2 very heavy duty low-loaders to transport it some 1,500 miles from Adelaide with police motorcycle escorts almost the whole way, and the tug was chartered to tow the military landing craft by sea some 500 nautical miles from Sydney, New South Wales. Only 30 hours were available for the arrival and assembly of all the cargo at the wharf and loading aboard before the vessel had to be moved to another dock for some 2 full days of "lashing", that is, welding and strapping of the cargo to the deck of the ship in case of rough weather. To further limit any likelihood for errors, Magnum staff also attended to ALL export documentation, customs entries and clearances, plus assisted international surveyors to carry out all necessary survey, licensing and change of registered flag requirements for the newly purchased vessel.
