Energy supply chain shipment spotlights
March 26, 2024
When an energy company needed to move more than 16,000 pounds of high-value equipment from the Netherlands to an oil refinery in Qatar, our teams in Europe and the Middle East collaborated to successfully orchestrate an on-time and on-budget air shipment.
Our air export and pricing teams worked closely with the client, consulting to compare air charter versus commercial airlift options for the most cost-effective solution. AIT also provided essential guidance on packaging requirements for the equipment (which is used to clean and analyze oil pipelines) as well as documentation support to ensure a seamless process.
And, with a commitment to excellence, AIT experts personally visited the client's site to ensure the equipment was adequately prepared for in-gauge commercial air transport on a Boeing 777 widebody freighter, carefully inspecting crate sizing to guarantee lower deck compatibility.
The freight was swiftly packed and prepared for flight within a tight timeline – less than 30 minutes from the client’s first phone call to take off! – ensuring the cargo arrived in time to meet up with a flatbed trailer in Qatar for ground transport to the refinery by the scheduled date.
