Gigantic Move from Kazakhstan to the Middle East:   Recently Globalink Atyrau made headlines when they handled a major construction equipment relocation from Atyrau, Kazakhstan to the Middle East. More then 100 machines weighing upto 5000 tons were imported into Kazakhstan in 2003-2004 for use at the Karabatan Site in Western Kazakhstan. It only seemed fitting that Globalink handle their massive re-export as we were the company to transport it to Kazakhstan in the first place. Some of the equipment weighed upto 50 tons each and over-dimensional sizes had to be accommodated at each logistical step from start to finish. Some of the super oversized equipment had to be dismantled to reduce the overall dimensions to meet strict railroad compliance. A full block train was chartered to move the machines from the Atyrau to the Black Sea port of Mareupol, Ukraine, with the further long journey by a special project vessel. Handling a project shipment such as this is never an easy task. Despite the fact that the process remains the same, each project has its own individuality and a “one approach for all” style never works. At Globalink, our solution is built around the needs of the customer. Our educated and skilled staff knows exactly what is needed and required from the planning stage right upto the final loading, lashing and shipping stage. From origin to destination, these excavators were never in finer hands. We delivered them as promised – right on time.
