Round Trip: Turkmenistan – France - Turkmenistan
Recently, Globalink
was contracted to handle the return of a damaged
compressor for refurbishment from one of the oil
companies operating in Turkmenistan. Not an
extremely large piece when compared to others
handled by us, the transportation aspect was
slightly tricky as the destination required the
shipment to be handled in 2 legs.
The first leg from
Turkmenbashi to Saint Petersburg was handled by our
Globalink office in Turkmenbashi who arranged for
the loading and dispatching of the cargo.
Representatives from our Globalink Moscow were
waiting to receive the cargo at St. Petersburg to
handle the second leg upto Le-Havre, France. With
the shipment arriving in St. Petersburg well ahead
of the given schedule, on-forwarding to Le-Havre was
arranged by break bulk vessel.
After receiving
praise for our smooth handling and ontime delivery,
we received quite an unexpected treat. Delighted
with the services that our customer received, we are
asked to handle the return of the compressor once
repaired. Upon receiving this new assignment,
Globalink made all the necessary arrangements for
the re-transport and at Turkmenbashi Port our
Turkmenbashi office supervised the discharging and
subsequent loading onto the special low bed trailers
arranged for the 900 kilometer journey to the final
destination: an oil refinery at Dovletabad. At
Dovletabad, needed cranes for offloading were also
arranged and we are proud to say entire process went
through smoothly and hassle free. This certainly
resulted in a happy customer.
