Highly sensitive air freight transportation with Logwin from Croatia
Logwin transports sensitive air freight of DOK-ING company to Sri Lanka The logistics service provider Logwin organized a highly sensitive air freight shipment from its Zagreb location at the beginning of November: Logwin transported 5 mine-clearance machines and accessories to Sri Lanka on behalf of the Croatian company DOK-ING, a leading manufacturer of mine-clearance equipment. The entire shipment, valued at over one million euros, weighed 35 tonnes. On 3 November three Logwin trucks left Zagreb. On board were five mine-clearance machines as well as pallets with spare parts and containers with tools. The trucks reached Frankfurt/Main airport in the evening of 4 November, where they were loaded onto a Boeing 747-400 the next day. Owing to the high value of the shipment and potential complications with customs clearance, Ivan Kralj, air freight specialist at Logwin in Zagreb, accompanied the convoy up to the point of loading in Frankfurt. The sensitive air freight shipment reached its destination airport Colombo on 7 November. Besides transportation, Logwin’s logistics services included customs clearance in Zagreb, the entire handling at the airports and the creation of the necessary documentation. Being classified as dangerous goods, the mine-clearance machines were subject to the Dangerous Goods Regulation and therefore required a shipper’s DGD (dangerous goods declaration). Logwin had already performed identical transportation for DOK-ING in September. |
