Equipment for oil refineries is frequently transported to Western Kazakhstan and generally, all these cargoes are over-dimensional and out of gauge.Recently, Globalink’ s experienced Project Department was tasked with handling and working out the most efficient route for the transportation of two transformers from Hefey, China to Atyrau, Kazakhstan. Certainly not the heaviest piece ever handled but with their deadline fast approaching, their customer needed the shortest possible transit time for delivery to final destination.

Always up for a challenge, their Project Team began planning right away. Using in-house resources, Globalink’s China Office supervised the loading and lashing at origin and dispatched the cargo, where upon arrival at the Kazakhstan border, their Dostyk Office (situated strategically on the border) controlled the offloading and subsequent re-loading onto the waiting rail wagons for the final leg of the journey. Meticulous and thorough planning resulted in yet another successful delivery and in fact they beat their own delivery time. Comprehensive planning, flawless execution and constant monitoring ensured the job was completed as promised.

Our member in Durban handled the road transport from Lusaka through Zimbabwe down to the port of Durban, the loading on board and port agency for the vessel.

The total packing list consisted of 117 military vehicles, and containers which required complete coordination to deliver all the equipment, exactly on time to meet the vessel arrival at Durban. Van Maasdyk continues, “The operation was one of the biggest we have ever handled, and required constant attention and coordination with many different authorities, locally and over the border. That we made a very tight deadline was quite an achievement”

CQR Takoradi ships 85 MT electrical transformers

Posted on | by admin

 CQR’s representative in Takoradi, was recently charged with receiving, clearing and hauling two electrical transformers (85MT each) from the port of Tema to Winneba, about 100km from the port

McDan Shipping arranged two of its 120MT Lowbed trailers to take the transformers directly from the quay side. This was arranged to save the client port demurrage charges and also to avoid double the handling. The transformers were imported from Egypt by the government of Ghana to improve its nations’ power grid system. The team had to mobilize their 150MT crane to offload the transformers at the delivery site where the transformers were to be installed. All this was done in record time due to proper planning and prior arrangement with port authorities to receive the cargo at the quay.
