Break-bulk import & flat-rack transshipment to Asia and USA

Booked as deck load cargo, these units of generators and transformers arrived in Antwerp port. After unloading onto the quay, our freight station partner transferred the units to their yard for loading onto 20 and 40 foot flat rack containers.

Careful and meticulous planning was needed to coordinate the arrival handling process and split of these units.

Several small issues arose during the handling and some of the already handled flat-rack containers needed more work before being accepted by the lines. Weights of several of the units exceeded 30 tons and needed special unloading and loading equipment as a result. Together with our Antwerp team, these issues were resolved and the freight moved as planned.
