Go Gauge manages transportation to the UAE

0

Go Gauge Projects recently demonstrated their expertise by successfully managing the transportation of steel girders from a factory in China to the United Arab Emirates.

Each girder, weighing 25 tons and measuring 13 meters in length, was transported within a challenging 48-hour EXW timeframe.

The scope of work for this project included arranging 29 trailers for local transport from the factory to the port, ensuring meticulous coordination to meet strict timelines.

Despite the shipment occurring over a weekend, Go Gauge’s team efficiently completed customs clearance on Sunday, avoiding any delays.

The cargo was then loaded onto a breakbulk for the journey to Jebel Ali.

This operation highlights Go Gauge’s ability to deliver seamless logistics solutions, from end-to-end project management to vessel chartering for complex shipments. Our commitment to precision and reliability ensures that even the most demanding timelines are met without compromising safety or quality.

Rhenus continues to develop its activities in Szczecin

0

In October 2024, the Rhenus Group has acquired an additional 58,5 percent of shares in the Polish port operation company, making Rhenus the majority shareholder with a total of 98,5 percent.

The acquisition will pave the way for Rhenus to continue to develop its activities in Szczecin.

Rhenus had initially acquired the first 40 percent of Bulk Cargo – Port of Szczecin in 2022. The logistics solutions provider has been active in Poland for more than 30 years, as well as 30 years at the Port of Szczecin, and employs around 3,500 people in Poland. “The port of Szczecin, with its significance for European waterways, is also of great importance to the Rhenus network. The potential of this port for environmentally friendly supply chains for the Polish, Czech and East German markets is immense. As Rhenus, we have been supporting Polish customers over the past 30 years and will continue to develop efficient logistics solutions for them,” says Michael de Reese, Head of the Rhenus Port Logistics division. The Szczecin and Świnoujście Seaports Authority has previously invested in several improvement measures in the port, such as a deepening of the fairway and the strengthening of the quay walls. “We therefore plan to build upon these previous investments and further develop the port infrastructure as well as future-proof handling equipment and technology at the Port of Szczecin,” continues Micheal de Reese.

As the biggest terminal operator in the Port of Szczecin, Bulk Cargo handles around four million tons of goods a year. The terminal comprises eleven berths and 3.5 kilometres of quay wall. The services provided at the Baltic port include bulk and breakbulk handling with specialized equipment, storage, stevedoring and port forwarding via inland waterway, road and rail. While historically, the port has been most known for handling coal and ore for the local coal mines, steelworks and coking plants, today Szczecin is a multipurpose port, with bulk, breakbulk, general and liquid cargo transshipment capabilities.

3p Logistics were responsible for operations such as loading & unloading, lashing & unlashing, customs clearance, and port handling.

Once arrived in Lithuania, the turbine parts were loaded onto an ocean vessel and delivered safely & securely to the final destination in Australia.

Ilya Goncharov, Global Project Manager at 3p Logistics offered his comments on the project:

“The market of wind turbines is a great place for small and mid-sized forwarders. You need to act fast and deliver upon unique solutions. Sometimes, you must get offers from more than 15 suppliers to find 1 solution, even for a small episode of the project.”
