This project presented unique challenges. For example, maneuvering through the Black Sea and the Kerch Strait demanded precise timing to coincide with the conclusion of the Volga-Don river navigation season. Playing a crucial role in the Nurek Hydro Power Project for over a decade, they have facilitated the transportation of massive quantities of cargo from various corners of the world to Tajikistan. Their recent project cargo operation underscores their three decades of expertise in managing intricate project logistics within demanding environments such as Central Asia and the Caucasus.

According to Siddique Khan, CEO of Globalink, “The overland segment of the cargo’s voyage from Bautino Port, navigating the challenging mountainous terrains of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, demanded tailored transport solutions. Moreover, we showcased our logistical ingenuity by employing specialized multi-axel trailers, multiple 6×6 heavy-duty tractors, and extensive civil works to ensure the safe passage of the cargo.”

Furthermore, upon reaching its destination in Tajikistan, Globalink’s team skillfully managed the import customs clearance, discharging and cargo installation. Their success in the Nurek Hydro Power Project affirmed its position as a project logistics leader, adept at navigating oversized and heavy-lift cargo through some of the most challenging terrains.
