The Jacky Line Project Department’s special team has successfully completed the transportation of five trailers full load of ammunition from a remote location in Israel up to Ben-Gurion (TLV) International airport for the Dutch Defense

The handling of the trailers necessitated special road movement licenses with round the clock coordination with all local official authorities, such as police and army escort under the full supervision of local customs and airport authorities .The period this took place was on the eve of a local holiday in September when all of Israel shuts down.

“We were up against an inflexible timeframe to load the sensitive cargo on the special full charter cargo aircraft to fly from TLV airport. The holiday would be beginning in just a few hours when the local airport authorities would impose flight restrictions,” said Albert Benezra, Air Freight Development Manager.

“This was definitely one of the team’s most challenging and stressful projects handled in recent years especially as the notice given was extremely short to say the least, but as always they stepped up and completed it in time,” said Albert.

CQR Tel Aviv was recently hired to transport a million-pound work of art from Portugal to Israel by one of its prestigious Israeli clients. The piece of art consisted of 1000 steel figures and stood 12m X 2.9m and weighed 4,500kg. 

Due to the high value and oversized dimensions, Jacky Line got together 3 of its experienced team who were then solely responsible for arranging the lashing, securing, escorting, loading under deck from origin up to placing the statue at its final destination, a private residence.

Moving an object of this nature is no easy feat as the pictures show, but including positioning of the crane with up to150 tons support, Jacky Line is proud to say that the whole project went smoothly from beginning to end.
