MCL Logistics offers specialized barge charter services for the transportation of Palm Kernel Shell (PKS), a renewable biomass fuel increasingly favored across Southeast Asia. Our barges have been chartered to deliver PKS to destinations such as Thailand, supporting the region’s growing demand for sustainable energy sources.
PKS, a fibrous byproduct of palm oil production, is abundant in Malaysia, Indonesia, and southern Thailand. Its high calorific value and availability make it an attractive alternative to conventional fossil fuels, especially in biomass power generation and industrial heating applications. While small quantities of PKS are often shipped in containers, larger volumes are best transported by barge due to cost efficiency and bulk handling advantages.
Transporting PKS by barge presents unique challenges that require experienced handling. Its lightweight nature means that maximizing barge capacity demands precise loading techniques. Improper stowage can lead to uneven distribution, reduced efficiency, and potential cargo loss. Additionally, PKS is susceptible to environmental exposure, making proper covering—typically with tarpaulin—essential to preserve its quality during transit.
At MCL Logistics, we understand these operational nuances and have developed best practices to ensure safe and efficient PKS transport. Our crews are trained in bulk cargo management and our barges are equipped to handle PKS with care, from loading at origin to discharge at destination. We prioritize cargo integrity, safety, and timely delivery in every charter.
As a trusted barge owner in Malaysia, we continue to support the region’s transition toward cleaner energy by offering reliable logistics solutions for biomass fuels like PKS. Whether you're supplying power plants, industrial facilities, or export markets, MCL Logistics is your dependable partner for bulk cargo movement across Southeast Asia.
