Energy supply chain shipment spotlights
January 27, 2026
When a global energy technology leader needed rapid shipment out of Africa to keep a critical infrastructure project in North America on schedule, AIT’s energy logistics experts delivered a seamless, end-to-end solution.
The shipment was not only time-sensitive, it was complex. The request to move oversized equipment demanded precise planning, specialized handling and continuous visibility. Furthermore, the cargo’s overlength profile required consideration for load planning, safe handling and aircraft selection. Finally, the customer needed assured milestone tracking and proactive communication to ensure project success.
The AIT energy logistics team quickly got to work, securing a dedicated air charter and coordinating door‑to‑door operations, including load plan engineering, carrier selection, specialized ground handling and synchronized handoffs. To minimize damage risk, aircraft and handling equipment for every step of the move was matched to the cargo profile.
The team also established around‑the‑clock monitoring to keep stakeholders aligned throughout the project with real‑time status updates and exception management, ensuring every milestone was met without delays.
From first contact to final arrival, the oversized, transatlantic shipment was completed in just four days, meeting the customer’s timeline, preventing project disruption, and helping the customer maintain momentum for a vital energy infrastructure initiative in the region.
In recognition of the speed, precision and reliability of the operation, the customer continues to entrust AIT with high‑stakes, time‑critical moves.

When a geo-equipment manufacturer needed to move a customized Cone Penetration Testing (CPT) crawler from Hillegom, Netherlands, to a survey site near Totnes, England, they partnered with Lubbers Road Transport, an AIT Worldwide Logistics company, for a solution that combined heavy-haul capability with regulatory expertise.
The $500,000 CPT crawler, a specialized tracked vehicle designed for maneuverability across soft or uneven terrain, weighed nearly 50,000 pounds (22,500 kilograms). Its weight and compact design required precise load balancing on a semi-trailer, essentially creating an oversized “seesaw.” Lubbers deployed a robust semi-trailer with ramp plates to ensure safe loading and secure transit.
Beyond the transportation requirements, Brexit-related regulations added complexity to the project. The customer needed a partner capable of managing customs clearance for both EU export and U.K. import.
In collaboration with customs experts from AIT’s vast global network, the team provided end-to-end clearance, ensuring compliance and avoiding delays.
Speed was critical. The initial inquiry arrived Sept. 23, and Lubbers delivered a quotation the same day. After finalizing details, the crawler was collected Oct. 2 and delivered to the site by Oct. 6—less than two weeks from the initial inquiry to completion.
By listening to understand the customer and offering multiple options, our team delivered a comprehensive solution. This allowed the client to focus on their core business while trusting Lubbers to seamlessly handle the logistics.

Moving a 49,000-kilogram excavator across Europe without breaking the bank? Challenge accepted.
By combining AIT-Antwerp’s ocean freight and customs services with the out-of-gauge marine transport expertise provided by Lubbers Logistics Group, an AIT Worldwide Logistics company, our teams collaborated to deliver an efficient ocean shipment solution from Brecht, Belgium, to the project site in Valencia, Spain.
While the typical plan would be to transport via road, our experts determined that such a massive cargo shipment would require a variety of permits, which would be both costly and time-consuming to obtain. Thinking outside the box, the team formulated a much more cost-effective solution to ship via sea on a roll-on/roll-off (aka “roro”) vessel for the main leg of the journey.
By avoiding complex overland permitting while delivering an on-time, on-budget shipment, this project highlights how our integrated network simplifies heavy equipment moves for the marine industry.

To help a global energy technology company avoid costly rig downtime, the projects and services experts at Lubbers Logistics Group, an AIT Worldwide Logistics company, executed a time-critical charter shipment, transporting a nine-meter-long replacement pipe from Norway to Ghana in just 48 hours.
From the moment the request came in, our team moved fast, presenting two delivery plans for the oversized radioactive component, including customs clearance, within just 90 minutes. The client selected a charter solution, and the shipment was airborne within days.
The complexity of the dangerous cargo, which required a radioactive permit and compliant packaging, added another layer of complexity. Thanks to seamless collaboration between AIT teams in Denmark and the United Kingdom—and close coordination with the client and local authorities—our logistics pros delivered flawlessly.
This shipment reinforced AIT’s reputation as a trusted partner in the energy sector and underscores our position as a charter logistics specialist. Since then, the client has entrusted us with multiple follow-up charters, recognizing our ability to deliver under pressure.
