Partner with marine supply chain pioneers

When a global leader in diving services for the oil and gas industry needed to move a lifeboat spread—including a fast rescue boat, launch and recovery system, and other supporting equipment—from Aberdeen, Scotland, to Livorno, Italy, time was of the essence. With just four weeks from purchase to installation aboard a dive support vessel, the customer turned to Lubbers Logistics Group, an AIT Worldwide Logistics company, for a fast and reliable solution. 

Our experts in Scotland mobilized quickly, arranging for both lowbed and flatbed trailers to transport the oversized cargo and additional equipment from multiple Aberdeen locations to the South Harbour seaport. End-to-end road transport wasn’t an option due to the tight timeframe and permitting challenges, so the team secured a partial sea charter. And, within a week, the shipment was on its way. 

Thanks to seamless coordination and precise pre-carriage operations, just three weeks later, the 60,000-kg shipment arrived on time in Livorno, ensuring our customer’s critical project could move forward.
