As the final batch of two 381-ton power generation units delivered onsite, COSCO SHIPPING Logistics & Supply Chain successfully completed the logistics services for the Surkhandarya Power Plant project in Uzbekistan.

Once completed, the power plant will become the largest single-unit gas-fired power plant in Uzbekistan, with an annual power output of approximately 12 billion kilowatt-hours, sufficient to power about 5 million households. Since the first shipment of equipment departed in March 2026, the team has arranged a cumulative total of 409 shipments involving 2,133 truck trips, with project materials exceeding 170,000 cubic meters, including 111 pieces of heavy-lift equipment weighing over 50 tons each.

As Uzbekistan is a double-landlocked country and the equipment was sourced from China and many other European countries, the cross-border transport conditions were highly complex. The project team prepared customs clearance documentation in advance, achieving an overall customs clearance rate of 99.73%. In response to unexpected situations such as policy adjustments at Turkish ports and local road construction, the team promptly adjusted its plans and built temporary access roads. The project team established an integrated sea-river-land-air multi-modal transport system and opened three corridor routes — eastern, northern, and western — while developing customized transportation plans for various pieces of oversized precision equipment. With the support of special-purpose vehicles and digital pre-transport simulation, the team completed the long-distance cross-border delivery of core equipment including a 414-ton gas turbine and a 380-ton generator.

This marks another major engineering logistics project completed by COSCO SHIPPING in Uzbekistan, following the Syrdarya Phase II gas-fired power plant, further strengthening the company’s multi-dimensional cross-border service network in Central Asia.
