Globalia Mumbai successfully handles a project shipment to Sierra Leone on an ex-works basis

Posted on | by admin

The cargo was meant for the setting up of a palm oil extraction plant in Sierra Leone, Africa

Antares Logistics Pvt Ltd, the Globalia member in Mumbai, India, successfully moved a project shipment from Ex-N’sheva Port (Mumbai) to set up a palm oil Extraction plant in Sierra Leone on ex-work Basis. The cargo which consisted of ODC cargo open-top, heavy duty and normal containers were shipped in a time-bound manner.

“The scope of this project was considerable since we were required to pick up the cargo from multiple locations/suppliers by using heavy lift equipment. Transporting cargo from factory to CFS, consolidating the cargo at CFS and shipping it out on a time-bound manner also proved to be a challenging task which was perfectly executed by our team,” says Mr. Chandrasenan Krishnan Director of Antares Logistics.

Warm congratulations to Antares Logistics from the Globalia team for carrying out this project successfully!

Globalia Beijing moves 2 aircraft engines from Beijing to Hong Kong

Posted on | by admin

The shipment handled by our member in Beijing consisted of a Trent 970 engine and a GEnx engine 

Beijing Monking Associates Int’l Forwarding Co Ltd, Globalia member in Beijing, China, has transported a Trent 970 engine for Airbus and a GEnx engine for Boeing B787 for China Southern Airlines. The Trent970 was moved to Hong Kong by an air suspension truck, from where SQ Airlines would move it to Amsterdam via Singapore. From Amsterdam, the engine would be hauled to a German MRO facility. The GEnx engine was shipped to Incheon Airport, Korea, by KE, from where Beijing Monking arranged for air suspension trucking from ICN airport to a local MRO facility.

A crane was required to upload and download the cargo. “We handle both inbound and outbound parts & spares for China Southern Airlines since 2010 and we operate our own air suspension trucks for the transport of engines and helicopters. Aviation and aerospace logistics accounts for 85% of our business. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that this significant project was handled flawlessly by our team,” says Jonathan Ma, CEO of Beijing Monking.

Mr Ma further adds, “This shipment was extremely demanding primarily because of the size and weight of the cargo. For example, Trent970 weighs about 12,500 kg, with a height of 311 cm, while the door height of a B747 freighter is just 312 cm. This is why loading of the shipment required a lot of expertise and attention. Moreover, the value of Trent970 is over 22 million USD. Considering all of the above, the job was quite a challenging one,”

Congratulations to Beijing Monking Associates for the perfect execution of this project!

Globalia members join forces to carry out the shipment of a brand new Montblanc store in downtown London

Posted on | by admin

The cargo which was shipped from China to the UK included interior furniture such as high-end display tables with fragile glass, mirrors, lights and other accessories

AMA Freight Co. Ltd, Globalia member in Tianjin, China, cooperated with Oceanside Logistics Limited, Globalia member in Felixstowe and Southampton, UK, to ship a very special cargo.

As stated by Jade Zhang, Head of the Overseas Department of AMA Freight, “Due to limited space and truck requirements in London, the shipment of 24 cases of 7.2 MT and 50 CBM had to be delivered in seven lots in a specific order so that the engineers could do the installation as planned. Additionally, due to the location of the shop, special permissions were needed for trucks to get into this commercial area. A strong logistical planning was required to guarantee customer satisfaction as well as flawless movement, loading, and unloading of the trucks. All the works were executed perfectly and the waste disposal was also taken care of by our two teams.”

The furniture was shipped in three lots. AMA Freight shipped the first lot by sea from Shanghai to Southampton port from where the shipment was taken over by Oceanside Logistics and stored in their warehouse. The second shipment was moved by rail from Zhengzhou to Hamburg which saved the supplier plenty of money compared to air freight and plenty of time compared to ocean freight. The 3rd shipment was by air from PVG, Shanghai, to LHR, London, from where it was carried to Oceanside’s warehouse after the clearance.

“The Montblanc shop was very satisfied with the service offered by both Oceanside Logistics and us. Their Manager was impressed by our professionalism and the care taken by us to manage this special project,” says Jade Zhang.

Congratulations to AMA Freight and Oceanside Logistics for successfully handling this collaboration shipment!

Globalia member in Copenhagen, Odense and Stavanger expands by acquiring a Denmark based logistics company

Posted on | by admin

YOYO Global Freight, which won a Gazelle five years in a row, has recently taken over Trans-Air Denmark A/S in Copenhagen

YOYO Global Freight, a company which was founded in a basement in Odense 10 years ago, is now experiencing solid growth and has been honored with a Gazelle five years in a row. Now the company is expanding again by taking over Trans-Air Denmark A/S, a company based in Copenhagen.

“For some time now, we have been looking to expand our market share, and therefore the takeover of Trans-Air is a logical venture. They are strong in airfreight as well as sea-freight and the acquisition will surely benefit our company in several ways…We are operating in a market with very large players, and small and medium-sized enterprises can find it rather difficult to create their own place amongst all the big shipping companies. But we have succeeded in creating a concept with custom-tailored solutions,” says Kasper Andersen, one of the Founders of YOYO Global Freight.

Mr. Andersen further adds, “The customers are choosing us because of our flexibility and prompt customer services. Therefore, it is extremely important that, while we are growing, we keep insisting on the fact that the connection to our customers is the foundation of our company,”

Hearty congratulations to Yoyo Global Freight for their recent expansion!
