Boiler from Belgium to Ukraine
Recently Globalink
Odessa undertook to deliver a shipment for a boiler
plant in Ukraine. The cargo was by no means standard
and consisted of 3 enormous over sized pieces with
just the accessories and supporting beam alone
weighing 109 tonnes.
After arranging to
have the shipment collected and brought to Antwerp,
Belgium. Representatives from Globalink’s Odessa
Office were on hand to supervise the loading and
lashing of the cargo and to ensure that the vessel,
chartered for this project, departed for the Black
Sea Port of Mareupol, Ukraine on schedule as time
was of the essence. The shipment had to be reach its
destination (Khartysk, Ukraine) urgently as apart
from being needed at the boiler plant, an upcoming
and long holiday week could seriously complicate
matters. With a normal delivery time of 10-14 days,
Globalink Odessa had an additional obstacle to
overcome: upcoming long holidays which would have
resulted in a delay of 14 days. Always ready for a
challenge, our Odessa office meticulously planned
every single detail. The needed wagons were
prearranged along with the floating crane at
Mariupol Port. Pre clearance process was initiated
and upon arrival, the cargo was cleared in record
time. After being unloaded on to the wagons and
lashed and wrapped in special protective covers, the
wagons were enroute to the factory at Khartsyk and
delivered well in advance of the given deadline.
The success of this
project could not have been achieved had it not been
for the planning and follow through of our dedicated
and professional staff at Odessa. Barely a year old,
Globalink Odessa has already shown it clearly has
what it takes to deliver a quality service.
