Polaris Projects Completes Multimodal Shipments in August 2024
11th September 2024
Polaris Projects, the project division of Polaris Shipping Agencies, successfully completed several time-sensitive multimodal shipments in August.
The company was nominated to manage the shipment of a consignment of used construction equipment from Tianjin, China, for door delivery to their regular receivers in Jebel Ali Free Zone.
The total consignment, approximately 1,490cbm / 254tn, was destined for an industrial auction in Jebel Ali and was shipped on a part-charter basis from Port Tianjin to Port Jebel Ali, using a last-in/first-out stowage arrangement.
The cargo was promptly customs cleared and delivered to the receivers, successfully meeting the strict auction deadline.
Polaris Projects was also awarded a cross-trade project involving the shipment of Sany hydraulic excavators from the UAE to Congo, totalling around 38 units.
As the receiver’s site required a maximum of two to four units per delivery, Polaris devised a plan to ship the units to Dar es Salaam via RO/RO service, where they will be stored at the nominated facility and subsequently delivered to the receiver.
Additionally, Polaris was awarded a project to ship pipes measuring 11.8m in 40’ high-cube containers to Azerbaijan.
The first batch, consisting of approximately 30 x 40’ high cubes, was shipped to Poti, Georgia, before completing the journey by truck.
Alongside providing competitive ocean freight solutions, Polaris ensured that the high-cube containers were carefully stuffed following strict safety and handling procedures to accommodate the long multimodal transport route to the destination.
"Polaris maintains strong relationships with regular operators to ensure all liner and multimodal options are thoroughly evaluated. Ideally located in Dubai, we offer exceptional logistics solutions."
