Conqueror Genoa/Venice successfully handles an OOG cargo weighing over 200 tonnes

Posted on | by admin

The shipment that consisted of two heavy presses from the ceramic industry was transported from China to Germany

Sev Stante Overseas SRL, Conqueror member in Genoa and Venice, Italy, recently moved an OOG shipment of two heavy presses. They transported the machinery weighing 102 tonnes each from Guangzhou, China, to Leipzig, Germany. They required break bulk service and FCL service for moving the presses.

Conqueror Genoa & Venice used 3 x 40 HC and 1 x 20 containers for transporting this OOG cargo. Furthermore, they required a special truck with 7 axle lines and a length of 19.70 metres. They also had to hire the largest crane for lifting the heavy machinery.

To quote Mr. Riccardo Stocco, the Managing Director of Sev Stante, “Probably, the most challenging aspect of this project was finding a break bulk departure vessel to accept this heavy cargo and pick up the presses 40 days before the vessel departure. However, as a company with nearly 50 years of experience in international forwarding, our expert team managed to deliver the cargo to its destination on time.”

Congratulations to Sev Stante Overseas for successfully handling this complex shipment!

Conqueror Barcelona saves a life by moving an urgent shipment of bone marrow

Posted on | by admin

They shipped the bone marrow required for a transplant by air from Spain to Germany

Airtransa SA, Conqueror member in Barcelona, Spain, has recently moved a lifesaving shipment consisting of human bone marrow. They transported the delicate shipment via air freight from Barcelona to Frankfurt, Germany. The sensitive cargo was sent from the United States to Valencia, Spain, for additional treatment. Afterward, it was sent from Valencia to Madrid by an exclusive truck. Finally, from Madrid, Airtransa exported it to Frankfurt via Barcelona by air.

The shipment required a lot of effort on the part of CQR Barcelona who had to coordinate with different parties like the carrier, terminal, airline, etc. Additionally, they had to confirm with the terminal to not x-ray the cargo because of its delicate nature. For this, they had to obtain a letter from the clinic declaring the sensitivity of the cargo before requesting exemption from an x-ray.

As stated by Dimos Economeas, the Business Development Manager of Airtransa, “It was a complicated operation in terms of timing as there were too many things to consider. Nevertheless, we made it happen! We are delighted to have successfully executed a shipment that could potentially save a life.”
