Case Study: Seamless Shipment of Transformers and High-Value Electrical Equipment from Shanghai to Dammam
Background
An established electricity company in Saudi Arabia needed a crucial shipment of transformers, large industrial batteries, and ZF7-145 kV GIS Systems with accessories to boost infrastructure projects. The shipment involved 50+ containers filled with high-value, heavy, and sensitive equipment — requiring precise handling, customs expertise, and top-notch logistics coordination.
Challenges
The project came with multiple challenges:
- Managing the bulk movement of 50+ containers safely across international borders.
- Handling heavy and oversized cargo (transformers and GIS systems) requiring specialized transport.
- Ensuring fast and smooth customs clearance at Saudi Arabia’s ports.
- Providing complete support services like SABER certification, warehousing, cranes, rigging, and labor — all while keeping the cargo damage-free and on schedule.
