Globalink and the Modernization of Yerevan
International Airport
.
Globalink Logistics
Group, renowned for providing superior, reliable
and professional transportation and logistics
services, was recently contracted to handle a
turnkey project by the Civil Aviation Authority of
Yerevan, Armenia for the renovation and
modernization of Yerevan International Airport.
The general
freight, consisting of numerous containerized
cargo and general cargo, as well as oversized and
overweight pieces, was to be collected from
multiple locations throughout Europe and the Far
East. The oversized cargo consisted of ‘boarding
ramps’ with a collective weight in excess of 200
tonnes and with several pieces approximately 20
meters in length. This oversize freight presented
a great challenge, but with proven capabilities on
handling sea and surface transportation,
collecting the shipments from various sites and
through our own network, it was handled smoothly,
efficiently and on schedule.
Upon arrival at the
port of Poti, Georgia, the shipment was met by our
Globalink Poti Team which was already in place
with all the necessary equipment (heavy cranes,
special low bed trucks, etc) and an eagerness to
start. Due to the enormous volume, the oversized
pieces were transloaded onto special low bed
trailers while the containerized and general cargo
was onforwarded by rail, as well as on our own
fleet of trucks. The shipment, under escort, then
left for it final destination: Yerevan Armenia.
Having handled the
delivery portion exceptionally, Globalink Yerevan
then took an active part in the equipment
installation. Providing all required local
services including positioning cranes and trucks
to having onsite personnel for supervision of
lashing and other essential services, our
Globalink Yerevan team worked vigorously until the
job was accomplished.
So, the next time
you arrive at the Yerevan airport and find
yourself impressed with the airport’s facilities,
you will know who to thank for it.
