Conqueror Cairo safely delivers an out of gauge DDP shipment to the grounds of the client’s factory

The cargo consisted of a new production line meant for manufacturing in the agricultural sector

MGL Cargo Services, Conqueror member in Cairo, Egypt, has recently moved an out of gauge cargo consisting of a new production line for agricultural manufacturing. The OOG shipment was moved in 2 x 40 flat rack containers and 1 x 40 high cube container. “Loading and unloading a cargo of this size was definitely a considerable challenge which  was easily surpassed by our skilled and experienced workforce. Moreover, placing each machine in its right place required much care and attention on our part,” says Mr. Wassim Magdy, the Managing Director of MGL Cargo Services.

CQR Cairo took care of many vital aspects of shipping as obtaining documentation, LC monitoring, company issuance, customs clearance at Alexandria Port, on-carriage to the factory site, loading/unloading, and more. Mr. Magdy further states, “The pandemic situation also posed a few obstacles regardless of which all the operations were concluded impeccably. The credit goes to our dedicated employees who have been working tirelessly even in the hardest of times.”

Congratulations to MGL Cargo Services for a job well executed!

A Tremendous Feat for CQR Cairo

In June 2012 CQR Cairo was chosen to transport a shipment of petroleum equipment from Egypt to Houston in the United States. What makes this story more interesting is that a decade earlier the MGL team had shipped the exact same cargo to the US as a brand new piece of equipment. It fell back into their hands this year, in a slightly older state, to be shipped back to the US on an Air France Freighter after some renovations were carried out in Egypt.

The dimensions of this cargo were as follows 200cm x 200cm x 230 cm, weight 4300 kg.

Marc Gharabawi, MGL’s Director, told CQR Head Office that, “Despite the competition for this kind of shipment, we have created strong relationships with most airlines meaning that MGL is the popular choice as a subcontractor for petroleum companies in Cairo.”
