The Challenge
DC Global Freight was appointed to coordinate the export of a substantial consignment of ROV systems and associated subsea equipment from Middlesbrough, UK to Istanbul, Turkey.
The project involved multiple pieces of specialist and oversized equipment requiring eight 40ft flat racks, two 20ft flat racks and one 20ft general-purpose container.
Due to the dimensions and configuration of the equipment, the flat racks needed to be loaded and professionally secured at origin before being transported to Felixstowe for export.
Careful coordination was required between the site, specialist loading and lashing teams, transport operators and ocean freight arrangements to ensure the equipment was safely prepared and delivered to port within the required shipping schedule.
The Solution
DC Global Freight coordinated the complete export logistics operation from collection in Middlesbrough through to shipment from Felixstowe.
The ROV systems and associated subsea equipment were carefully allocated across the flat rack and container equipment according to their dimensions, configuration and handling requirements.
Specialist loading and securing arrangements were coordinated to ensure the cargo was correctly positioned and professionally lashed for international sea transport. The oversized flat rack units were then transported by suitable specialist vehicles from Middlesbrough to Felixstowe.
DC Global Freight also coordinated the ocean freight arrangements for the complete consignment, ensuring the multiple units were managed as one project shipment through to Istanbul.
The Result
The complete ROV systems shipment was successfully prepared, secured and transported from Middlesbrough to Felixstowe for onward sea freight to Istanbul.
By coordinating the specialist loading, lashing, road transport and ocean freight requirements as a single project movement, DC Global Freight provided a controlled logistics solution for a complex multi-unit subsea equipment export.
