COLI Shipping & Transport has accomplished the seamless transport of a 140-tonne shiploader and associated project cargo from Hamriyah, UAE, to Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The intricacies of this operation were deftly managed by COLI’s dedicated Istanbul Team, showcasing their expertise over a meticulous 27-day period.
The focal point of this intricate operation was a colossal 15.5 x 8 x 8.4 meters shiploader. The initial phase involved a comprehensive survey conducted by a local team of engineers dispatched to the UAE by COLI. Their task was to ensure the shiploader’s hydraulics and steering mechanisms were in optimal condition, augmented by a meticulous measurement study.
Following the engineering assessment, the cargo was swiftly moved from a laydown area proximal to the Hamriyah Port. The team undertook the crucial tasks of preparation, including the intricacies of local customs clearance. Subsequently, COLI’s adept team meticulously loaded the cargo onto trailers, orchestrating its journey to a specially chosen vessel for onward transportation.
Upon the cargo’s arrival at the Rotterdam terminal, the COLI team orchestrated a seamless transshipment to a barge, culminating in the final delivery to the consignee’s terminal in Rotterdam. Notably, all components of this elaborate cargo were delivered in impeccable condition, a testament to COLI’s commitment to precision and excellence.
The entire operation, spanning from the loading stage in the UAE to the cargo’s arrival at the Rotterdam terminal, unfolded seamlessly within the 27-day timeframe. Exceptionally, the only deviation from COLI’s direct involvement was the import customs clearance in the Port of Rotterdam, with all other related services expertly provided by COLI’s adept team.
This successful venture not only underscores COLI Shipping & Transport’s proficiency in maritime logistics but also highlights their ability to navigate complex operations with finesse. The achievement is a testament to the synergy between meticulous planning, expert execution, and a commitment to ensuring the integrity of valuable cargo throughout the transportation chain.
In an industry where precision and reliability are paramount, COLI’s accomplishment stands as a beacon of excellence. The successful delivery of the 140-tonne shiploader and project cargo exemplifies the dedication and capability embedded in COLI Shipping & Transport’s core values, solidifying their position as leaders in maritime, breakbulk, project cargo, and logistics.
