120 tons, one vessel, one bill of lading, and a reduced carbon footprint
Customer challenge
A tech supplier for the food industry won a contract to supply a complete processing plant for a Middle Eastern potash producer. A rotary drum exceeding 120 tons in weight and 5 meters in diameter was being manufactured in Central Europe and needed to be transported to the final destination, in addition to another 369 pieces of both in-gauge and out-of-gauge cargo.
The challenge was to load all in-gauge pieces into containers under one bill of lading and ship the cargo directly to the port of discharge.
