ZPMC made a cloud commanding on remote unloading in the headquarters in Shanghai at 9:30am April 17^th (Beijing time), providing remote guidance in videos for unloading 4 STSs in Bombay NSICT Terminal of DPW Group. It was the first cloud commanding for overseas unloading during the pandemic period by the Company.

This remote unloading under the cloud commanding attracted much concern. Huang Qingfeng, President and Vice Secretary of ZPMC, came into the remote commanding meeting room for the latest information of the unloading on the site. The person in charge of NSICT Engineering Department in Bombay said: “It is safe and efficient. The unloading is completed carefully. Excellent!”

ZPMC mobilized different departments to complete the shipping of such batch of equipment on Feb 26^th, as scheduled, after solving much difficulty during the domestic outbreak of pandemic. Zhenhua No.28 with such batch of equipment berthed at the terminal in Bombay successfully on April 13^th.

However, the unloading technology system and commanders of such project failed to obtain the visa as the result of lockdown of different countries due to the spread of COVID-19. It was also impossible to carry out the alternative to transfer the flight from Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan or other countries. The site team of India Subsidiary and the crew of Zhenhua No.28 made positive application for the site unloading, for which the Company founded the emergency unloading guiding team and Offshore Service Group prepared specially Unloading Drill Program and Unloading Operation Guidance Program to provide the technical programs and remote guidance for the unloading on the site.

To make sure the successful unloading, the team of India Subsidiary made adequate preparations and exchanges with the shipping technology department and the master of Zhenhua No.28, learning about technical requirements and potential risks of each step particularly . India imposed the nation-wide blockage due to the increasingly expanding pandemic and the traffic within cities and between different states was in blockade, a great impact on the unloading on the site. The Subsidiary team considered the conditions on the site carefully and made reasonable allocation of the staff and also applied for related permits and certificates, making sure the site delivery team and equipment at the place within the shortest time. The Subsidiary also rented the user’s offices as the temporary residency to reduce the outgoing, avoiding the risks of pandemic on the site and improving the work efficiency as well, winning high praise from the terminal user.

The India site team made a detailed drill of the unloading after Zhenhua No.28's berthing, to find out possible problems and make related solutions accordingly. The Terminal was quite busy preparing for the unloading before the dawn of April 17^th. Meanwhile, the emergency unloading guiding team gathered at the meeting room in the headquarters in Shanghai. The cloud commanding was ready for the monitoring and remote technical guidance for the unloading site in India.

The first STS was dragged to the Terminal at 6:50 of the local time. The members of the emergency unloading guiding team fixed their eyes on the large screen, focusing on the site. The Vessel slanted in different directions and of different levels when seaside and landside legs of the STS moved to different positions. The guiding team made decision on the basis of actual conditions and reminded the master to turn to the right(left) portside at the reasonable timing and keep the angle of the rigid beam, making sure the STS moving gently. The site workers and members of the emergency unloading guiding team worked together and the first STS was to move into the side sliding track. During the period, the emergency unloading guiding team kept reminding the details on the site to make timely adjustment and also encouraged the site commander to keep calm to guide the STS sliding into the track slowly. The first STS was in the track and anchoring against the wind after 12 hours hard work at 18:55 of the local time, indicating the first successful STS unloading under the cloud commanding by ZPMC.

So far, 3 STSs have been unloaded successfully on the site of NSICT Terminal in Bombay. The hard debugging on the site will start after unloading the total 4 STSs.
