Whisky to Hokkaido! Discharge & delivery in full swing

After the successful ocean transport from Antwerp to Tomakomai, Japan, the next phase of our brewery equipment logistics project is now well underway.

Following discharge at the Port of Tomakomai, the first cargo units were carefully stored for two weeks to complete customs clearance. Since this week, local transports have commenced – both by day and night – ensuring the smooth onward delivery to the distillery site.

This shipment involved:

43 pieces of whisky distillery equipment
170 tonnes | 3,000 cbm of cargo
Complex truck–barge–vessel coordination
Night convoys and just-in-time handling

We’re proud to see this door-to-door operation unfold, and thank all partners involved for making it a success across continents and time zones.

Whether it’s whisky or wind turbines – COLI Logistics delivers with care, creativity, and control.
