The challenge: Four pieces of equipment of more than 18 tonnes, and one large piece weighing more than 17 tonnes
Time is money in the oil business, and so some large shipments, such as these oil drilling equipment, which might otherwise be more at home on a boat, can find themselves on the main deck of an aircraft. Because of the heavy nature of these different pieces of machinery, Cathay Expert was chosen to facilitate safe transit. Cathay Cargo did three onsite visits to examine the shipment and make sure it was being built up to standard. Such was the bespoke nature of the shipment that a three-dimensional CAD model was made for the packer so that they could precisely and accurately build up the shipment. Ultimately, the equipment had to be built up three times more on the last day before the shipment to fulfill the space and handling requirements, but due to the actions of our dedicated staff it reached its destination safely and on time.
