A recent project handled by SOCOTU involved 50 units of tanks and accessories loaded at Sousse in Tunisia and shipped to Abidjan, Ivory Coast. The loading and lashing had to be arranged swiftly and so the operations ran overnight non-stop and were completed in time. They also recently loaded 3 tanks on MAFIs at Rades in Tunisia and shipped the cargo to France.
