Glory Track successfully supplied a shipyard rail system for a shipyard project in Manila North, Philippines. The project was managed by a Taiwan-based client and included steel rail, fishplates, and rail clip fastening systems.
This project highlights Glory Track’s capability in shipyard rail supply, rail standard substitution, and multi-material delivery for international industrial applications.
Project Overview
The end user of this project is a shipyard located in the Philippines. The Taiwan client was responsible for procurement and coordination.
The original specification required 60E2 steel rail. However, due to production scheduling limitations and urgent delivery requirements, Glory Track proposed an alternative solution using 60E1 rail.
After technical evaluation, it was confirmed that 60E1 and 60E2 rail profiles are very similar in structure, with only minor differences in head design. The substitution does not affect the performance of the shipyard rail system under actual working conditions. The client approved the change.
Order Details
The final shipment included a complete shipyard rail supply package:
Steel Rail
- Rail type: 60E1 rail
- Quantity: 131 pieces × 11.69 meters
- Material split:
- SS material: 31 pieces
- R260 rail steel: 93 pieces
Rail Accessories
- Fishplates: 4-hole type, 131 sets
- Rail clip system: Type 3120 with M20×75mm bolts, 992 sets
Shipyard Rail Material Arrangement
This project was executed in multiple stages due to urgency and stock availability.
Initial Delivery – SS Material
At the early stage, the project required urgent shipment. Since only SS material was available in stock, 31 pieces of 60E1 rail were supplied in SS grade.
Before delivery, Glory Track provided a comparison between SS and R260 rail steel, including strength and wear resistance performance. After evaluation, the client confirmed the SS material for initial use in this shipyard rail project.
Additional Supply – R260 Material
Before final export, the import license approval for the end user was still in process, resulting in a delayed shipment schedule.
Later, the client placed an additional order for 93 pieces. At that time, R260 material was available in stock, and was supplied to ensure higher wear resistance and long-term performance for the shipyard rail system.
Shipment Arrangement
The full shipyard rail supply project was shipped in early February 2026 from Tianjin Port, China, with destination Manila North Port, Philippines.
To ensure smooth delivery and installation efficiency:
- Different rail materials were clearly separated and labeled
- Fishplates and rail clips were packed independently for on-site installation
- Shipping documents were updated according to material changes and order segmentation
This ensured full consistency between logistics documents and actual delivery for the shipyard project.
Project Highlights
This shipyard rail case demonstrates three key capabilities of Glory Track:
1. Rail substitution capability
60E2 rail was successfully replaced by 60E1 rail without affecting application performance.
2. Flexible shipyard rail supply
Combination of SS and R260 materials ensured both urgent delivery and long-term durability.
3. Multi-stage international delivery coordination
The shipment was executed in phases based on stock availability, import approval progress, and client requirements.
Conclusion
This project demonstrates Glory Track’s expertise in shipyard rail systems, offering not only steel rail products but also flexible engineering-based supply solutions.
Through successful execution of this 60E1 rail project, Glory Track reinforced its capability in global shipyard rail supply, rail substitution solutions, and complex international delivery coordination.
