1. CATS
Property Handling in Singapore
Mercury
Freight Distribution Pte. Ltd,
was responsible for handling the props of the CATS production in
Singapore.
The most
ambitious performance so far is the West End musical CATS brought to
Singapore in conjunction with us as the really useful Company.
The CATS set contains 487 pairs of flashing cart's eyes
and 15,000
twinkling fiber optic lights.
To transport these bulky yet delicate equipment is in itself a
performance. The logistics involved in the transportation and handling
of stage props is characterized by time and delicacy. Concert tours are
fast-paced, here today and gone tomorrow, making the parallel
movement of props is even more time-sensitive than the usual air cargo.
As a stage performance runs on cue, with the precision of a military
drill, it demands a full and complete delivery without any damages.
It took two week to plan the massive and delicate operations.
It took 45 minutes to unload the cargo there were 33 pallets. Forty men
working non-stop for the next 30 hours ferried the cargo from the
airport to kallang threatre.
The challenges in moving the CATS Props were many. The tonnage included
expensive yak wigs. Many of the cargo needed special equipment, for
example, specially designed low-loaders were needed to transport four
20ft pallets containing special screens. The entire operation was
completed without incurring losses or breakages .
This attributes to our commitment to customer satisfaction and our
determination to give our clients what they require. The CATS organizer
gave us specific instruction on how they want each item to be
transported form the aircraft onto the stage. With this information we
were able to rope in the necessary equipment and staff required.
Our previous experience in stage props handling include the
Holiday on Ice show and Tina Turner's Concert in Singapore.
We are well placed to play a more active role in handling this kind
of cargo. The organizers for CATS were so pleased with our
services; they re-hired us to forward the entire baggage to Hong Kong.
Without doubt we made sure the baggage reached on time and the show went
on.
