Quick thinking was needed when we were tasked with expediting the delivery of a heavy piece of oil and gas machinery from Germany to Trinidad. The request came in during the weekend and the client’s timings kept changing, so we got to work coordinating a flexible, time-sensitive solution.
ACS Time Critical
Moving a heavy piece of machinery between continents
Our Solution:
Route: Frankfurt > Miami > Port of Spain
Service: Trucking, next flight out, air charter
We recommended trucking the machinery to the airport for a scheduled service from Frankfurt to Miami, followed by an aircraft charter to Trinidad.
The client called us on a Saturday hoping to get the cargo in the air on Sunday, however supplier delays meant it wasn’t ready until Monday evening. As soon as we got the go-ahead, our trucking division was dispatched to collect the part and drive it overnight to the airport, where we’d secured space on the next flight out first thing on Tuesday morning.
We sourced an Airbus A321F for the second leg of the cargo’s journey from Miami to Trinidad, liaising with airport handlers to ensure a quick turn and smooth transfer onto the charter flight.
The Finer Details
Rapid Response: We found a solution within an hour of receiving the client’s call, delivering the machinery to its final destination within 17 hours of it leaving Germany.
Seamless Solution: We leveraged our strong relationships with transportation and logistics partners to ensure every stage of the operation ran smoothly.
24/7 Communication: Our team were contactable around the clock to handle any queries and quickly accommodate changes to the schedule.
