Transportation of Prefabricated Houses

The transportation of prefabricated houses typically involves disassembling the building into individual unit modules, prefabricating them in factories, and then transporting them to the site for assembly. Different ports have corresponding safeguard measures, and there have been multiple breakthroughs in the global market.

Transportation Methods and Characteristics

The transportation of prefabricated houses adopts a modular approach, where the building is divided into individual modules, manufactured in factories, and then transported to the site for assembly. For buildings that would otherwise need to be constructed from scratch, upon arrival at the final overseas destination, only about 10% of the work remains. Simple hoisting and assembly, akin to 'building with blocks', are all that is required for completion and acceptance. This transportation method significantly shortens on-site construction time and improves building efficiency.

Port Safeguard Measures

Different ports have corresponding safeguard measures for the transportation of prefabricated houses. Taking the Shatian Customs as an example, it proactively connects with enterprises, grasps cargo export plans in advance, opens green channels, coordinates with terminals to prioritize berth arrangements, assists enterprises in streamlining customs declaration, inspection, and exit procedures, and enhances logistics turnover efficiency. At the same time, it strengthens顺势监管 (which can be translated as 'adaptive supervision' or 'supervision in line with the situation', but for clarity, we'll use a more descriptive phrase: 'real-time supervision'), utilizing a combined supervision method of 'on-site inspections + video surveillance + data comparison' to strengthen the supervision of module loading onto ships, achieving 'non-intrusive' customs clearance throughout the loading process. Given the nature of the cargo, which is transported in the form of rods and panels, it guides and supervises terminals in adopting specialized handling and对接工艺 (which can be translated as 'docking processes') and safety precautions,合理安排船舶配载 (which means 'rationally arranging ship stowage'), to ensure the safe and efficient customs clearance of the cargo.

Global Market Performance

The transportation of prefabricated houses has made multiple breakthroughs in the global market, with a warming trend in exports evident at multiple ports simultaneously. For example, batch after batch of modular houses in standard container sizes are being hoisted onto ocean-going giants at Dongguan Port in Guangdong, destined for ASEAN markets such as Indonesia and Vietnam. These building modules have completed all processes, including water and electricity installation and interior decoration, in factories and can be directly assembled on-site upon arrival. In addition, 2,840 tons of modular houses and equipment set sail from the second-phase terminal of Dongguan Port, bound for Dammam Port in Saudi Arabia, further demonstrating the widespread demand and development potential of prefabricated house transportation in the global market.
