Conqueror Almaty’s project division is renowned for its handling capabilities and almost legendary when it comes to taking on large, complex, intricate projects. They recently lived up to their reputation when they were asked to handle and deliver crushers from Spain to Kazakhstan for a mining project.
The scope of work handled by the team was indeed comprehensive; including crating, sea freight, road freight and customs clearance at destination. Given the cargo weight, mobile cranes had to be positioned for loading onto the vessel chartered for the trip from Bilbao to St. Petersburg.
At St. Petersburg, personnel from their project office supervised reloading onto sea-river barges for the journey down the Volga Don River to the Caspian Sea Port of Astrakhan. Upon docking, the Crushers were offloaded and lashed onto low bed trailers, courtesy of Globalink’s road freight division, and departed at once for the job site. Clearance at destination was an exercise in efficiency and brought to close a well-planned and brilliantly executed job.

CQR Kolkata was recently charged with moving an oversize steel Shiva statue from the site at Isha Yoga Centre, Coimbatore, India to the Isha Institute of Inner Sciences, McMinnville, Tennessee, USA

Despite thick forest and inadequate roads, the team managed to deliver the statue to Chennai Port and provide customs clearance and correct documentation. From there, it was loaded onto the vessel for Tanjung Pelapas where it was then transhipped to another vessel for the voyage from New York to Savannah. In view of the size of the statue, it had to be dismantled into 2 pieces and shipped on 2 x 40′ Flat Rack Containers.
Seahorse Shipping told us that this assignment was specially undertaken as a spiritual cause and on behalf of the whole Conqueror team, we would like to congratulate them on this.
Such was the significance of this shipment, that EXIM News featured it recently. To see the article, click here.
In a remote area 450km outside Kolkata, our agent undertook the rather difficult job of transporting six abandoned railway engines by road to the city where it was to be placed on flat rack containers, secured by lashings and successfully shipped to Felixstowe Port

Each engine was taken apart at origin and shipped part by part which was rather challenging given the dilapidated condition of the engines. Getting the parts there without any further deterioration in their condition was crucial as once in the UK, they were to be reconditioned and exhibited.
Regional Forwarding Manager, Mr Ronee Sengupta told us, “The engines arrived safely at their destination which provided the perfect end to what was an extremely satisfying job for all involved.”
The Conqueror Almaty team recently handled a substantial turnkey project of 3 mills for a gold mine in the south-east of Kazakhstan
logistics companies
Originating in China, the total weight of each mill was 650 tons. Due to extraordinary dimensions, each mill had to be disassembled into multiple pieces weighing 50 tons each. Being an out of gauge shipment, the transportation as well as the lashing, loading and unloading processes required the deployment of specialized heavy-lift equipment.
CQR Kazakhstan’s in-house industrial projects packing team secured each component at origin and arranged specialized industrial crating for the fragile mill parts. Once the shipment was secured on our specialized trailers, a long and challenging journey awaited from Luoyang in China to the final remote destination in southern Kazakhstan via Khorgos on the Sino-Kazakh Border covering more than 3500 kilometers.
Thanks to their own terminal at the Khorgos border, Globalink’s in-house customs brokerage team swiftly completed the clearance and certification process. Due to well-coordinated team efforts by CQR Kazakhstan’s project specialists in China and Kazakhstan, the shipment crossed the border and was delivered at the project site just-in-time. At destination, the cargo was swiftly offloaded under the supervision of their project specialists so that their customer could begin installation operations right away.
Globalink, in its 20-year history of operations in the CIS market, has gained a well-deserved reputation for being the Project Logistics Managements Company of choice by EPC, mining and oil & gas companies in the region and they constantly strive to maintain their unique position.

4 years since opening its doors, our member in Geneva has secured its position not only in the regular freight market but also in the time-sensitive and event shipping markets
Managing Director, Thierry Moreno recently spoke with us about these niche areas and what prompted him to start the company in the beginning.
international logistics
Q. Can you tell us how you got into the FF industry and what prompted you to start NV Log?
A. I began my freight forwarding career in 1989 as a young 18 year old apprentice. Switzerland has a culture of freight forwarding and such a profession is not as rare as elsewhere. I worked for medium and large forwarders in their operations departments, as a sales representative and then Director of the seafreight & crosstrade department at the former leading company DANZAS, acquired by Deutsche Poste / DHL in 1999.
After 10 years with DHL Global Forwarding as a sales representative and Director of seafreight/crosstrade department I decided to start my own business. I was tired of passing the time issuing internal reports and fighting to implement new ideas. I wanted to go back to the heart of logistics and created NV Logistics in 2010.
Q. Can you tell us about the ‘VITAL LOGISTICS’ branch of NV Log?
A. Vital Logistics is one of our most promising niche markets. In 2011, I recognized the biotechnology and medical industry as a way to develop my business. For any freight forwarder wanting to start in this area, I would warn them that they should not underestimate how costly in both time and money it is.
After developing and implementing our own quality system to comply with the European GDP’s, in late 2012 we obtained the Swissmedic (Swiss FDA) authorization to store therapeutic goods in early 2013.
Since spring 2014, we have started gaining new clients from this very demanding industry. It took almost 3 years to achieve this and the only way to recoup the large investment (cold room, freezers, temperature controlled vehicles, thermo loggers, passive packaging etc.) is to have regular existing business. Our ultimate aim is to compete and if possible surpass the high quality standards of the two actual leaders in this niche market, Worldcourier and Marken.
Q. With terrorism in the forefront of every government’s minds, how does NV Log ensure complete security when shipping hazardous and biopharmaceutical materials?
A. Failure is not an option! When a patients’ life is in your hands for example, we must ensure the highest quality which means anticipating more than just reacting to issues. We monitor not only the position of every single vehicle from our fleet with GPS systems but also inside temperature, humidity and conditions. For the most critical transport of category A virus or bacteria, we also monitor the exact routing of the vehicle and any deviations are immediately identified in real time 24/24 and 7/7. Also staff selection and training is a huge key to success!
Q. Another niche area which NV Log operates in is Events Logistics, when did this begin?
A. Events Logistics is our baby. It began life as one of our other niche areas at the request of one of our clients, the Geneva Opera. We organized their Mexican tour in 2013 with 2 x 40′ for their Monterrey and Mexico shows. Thanks to the success of this project, we decided to promote this service to other clients in this industry as well.
Q. What is the key to success in Events Logistics?
A. With each project, we gain valuable experience and experience is the key. This is experience which allows us to anticipate issues. Despite all the preparation and forethought, issues still pop up and this is again our experience that will permit us to properly manage them. Here again, failure is not an option!
Although only 4 years old, NV Log has certainly had a meteoric rise and we can’t wait to see where they will be in another 4.
