The job was completed successfully, covered the shipment of 200 busses of 17,500 M3 from Lianyungang Port China to be discharged at the KPT Karachi seaport.

The buses weighing 17,500 M3 were shipped from Lianyuangang Port in China and discharged at KPT Karachi seaport. The process was completed with such ease due to UF Group’s strong ties with the Pakistan Customs and Port Authorities. This relationship has been garnered through regularly providing well-handled shipments.

The client, Daewoo Pakistan, were very appreciative of the UF Logistics team for the outstanding services both in terms of speed of delivery and professionalism.

CQR Lahore clears shipments ‘faster easier with less hassle’

CQR Lahore, UF Logistics, promises its customers that it can clear shipments ‘faster, easier and with less hassle,’ but this promise was severely tested last August when they were asked to ship two Super Swinger Trucks (specialized crane mounted trucks) from Rotec Industries in Illinois, USA to their customer at a wind power plant site close to Karachi in Pakistan.

The team knew that they would need to use RoRo to transport the trucks which, in any other month, would not have been an issue, but in the months of August and September 2012 there were no direct RoRo services from the USA to Karachi. So, the decision was made to go via Jebel Ali port. Problem 1 fixed! But then came problem 2; the fast approaching US holidays (at the end of August) which needed to be avoided.

Thanks to them we were we able to get the trucks delivered to our nominated carrier Liberty Global lines at Port Wilmington and from there they caught the RORO vessel Liberty Pride V. 30 and arrived in Ali just 38 days later.”

After all that drama the rest of the journey was uneventful, to the relief of the CQR Lahore team! At Jebel Ali, the team managed the transshipment activity and loaded the shipment on board MV Victoria Star, which safely delivered the shipment to Karachi port within the contracted time. Customs clearance on a temporary import basis of ten to eleven year old specialized machinery is a difficult task in Pakistan. However, for the UF Logistics Karachi office it was just a formality and the shipment was managed in the most efficient way and delivered to the site on a turnkey basis.

“It is our team’s relentless focus to provide outstanding services to our customers that ensures we meet our deadlines, whatever the obstacles,” said Usman Butt.

CQR Lahore recognised for its excellent performance

freight forwarderCQR Lahore was chosen by Pakistan’s largest engineering company, Descon Engineering, to handle the shipping of a Mammoet Crawler Crane from Jabel Ali Dubai to Karachi Pakistan. As this was a Hook to Hook the UF Logistics team (CQR Lahore) arranged for the crane to be left in the capable hands of Iron Line.

The dimensions were as follows: 2,429.21 M3 810.70 Metric tons.
Obviously this is not the kind of shipment made in one piece!  It was carefully dismantled at Jebel Ali and loaded onto a chartered BBulk/Roro Iron Line vessel for its short voyage to Pakistan.


With over 15 years in the business, UF Logistics has become renowned in Pakistan for getting ‘shipments cleared faster, easier and with less hassle,’ as their mantra states. Descon Engineering certainly believed this, as they awarded the CQR Lahore team with ‘an appreciation letter’ for their excellent performance on this job!
