Customer Challenge:
Our healthcare customer, a manufacturer of therapeutic products, issued new parameters to its healthcare product suppliers to eliminate PVC clamshell packaging, due to the packaging’s lack of environmental compliance. The new packaging needed to be shelf-ready and not pegged in the retail environment, despite the fact that space allocated by retailers typically only displayed products in PVC clamshells on a pegboard.
As a result of the clamshells not being able to stand upright, excess products were being flat-stacked below the display, which severely limited space in the display area.
Our Solution:
- Retail Packaging
- Air and Ocean Transportation (LCL/FCL)
- Customs Clearance
- Packaging Optimization
Customer Benefit:
Our customer’s new OIA-developed packaging was well received by retailers. One retailer increased the shelf space display by 17 inches, enabling our customer to add an additional 3 SKUs to the store set, resulting in increased revenue.

However, the port at Hunterston did not have port facilities to receive windmill parts of this size, so a custom quay had to be built. The customer engaged OIA to help navigate the multiple challenges related to the planning and execution of what essentially was a world first: the transportation of the largest windmill blade parts ever made.
Our Solution:

Customer Challenge:
Our client, a large supplier of technology for the food industry, won a contract to supply a complete processing plant to a potash producer in the Middle East. As part of the processing plant, a rotary drum exceeding 120 tons and 5 meters in diameter was being manufactured in Central Europe and needed to be transported to the final destination along with another 369 pieces of various sizes, and weights including in-gauge and out-of-gauge cargo. Our customer challenged us to find a solution that allowed all cargo, including the package at 120 tons to be loaded on the same vessel with all in-gauge pieces loaded into containers under one bill of lading. The consignment had to be shipped directly to the port of discharge due to the letter of credit requirements using the most cost effective solution..
Our Solution:
- Vessel scheduling
- Container Leasing
- Project cargo planning and design
- Ocean Charter
- Documentation
- Tracking and reporting
Customer Benefit:
- Leased containers enabled customer to reduce cost and liability versus purchasing.
- A reduction in their carbon footprint as all cargo was barged in lieu of shipping by truck from the Czech Republic.
- Saved over $25K USD in transport costs
- Combined all components into a single shipment which reduced documentation and clearance costs..
