The cargo originated in Houston and was shipped through COLI’s US partner DRAFT CARGOWAYS INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED to Bremerhaven, Germany before needing to be transported to Esbjerg, Denmark. This is where COLI Logistics stepped in along with Stange Transport GmbH, known for their specialist trucks that can haul almost anything, no matter how big or unique.
Because of the size and weight of these shafts, they needed to be trucked not just with a special permit, but also an escort. And let’s not forget the challenge of crossing borders, which meant using customs-bonded trucking.
However, that wasn’t the most difficult part of the transport. The center of gravity is primarily at one side of each shaft. This meant having to load the truck strategically to handle this heavy cargo, not just due to size, but also as to how the weight should be managed in terms of point load.
The trucks were loaded in Bremerhaven from the transport vessel, a T1 customs document was acquired (and closed upon arrival at Padborg, Denmark) and safely and timely delivered to their destination in Esbjerg.
