cargo-partner Solves Project Cargo Challenges with River-Sea Transport Solution
Serbia and China, the entire transport process – from the vessel’s arrival in Constanta to unloading in Smederevo – was completed in only nine days.
In April 2019, the international logistics provider tackled another challenging project involving transport via the Sava and Danube rivers. A total of 4,000 cubic meters of boiler parts, including several out-of-gauge parts, was transported from Slavonski Brod to Belgrade on the Sava and on to Constanta via the Danube. For this project, cargo-partner organized three of the largest available barge types. Transport was especially challenging on the Sava, where navigation is difficult in certain points due to unstable water levels. To ensure smooth transport, cargo-partner worked with a former captain who is experienced in navigating every corner of the river. Upon arrival in Constanta, the shipment was prepared for transshipment on the seagoing vessel to Turkey.
Mirko Ilic, Managing Director of cargo-partner in Serbia, is convinced that this new combined transport service will bring added value for cargo-partner and its clients: “Transport via inland waterways is a cost-efficient and ecologically sustainable alternative to road transport. Our specialized teams can draw on long-standing relationships with carriers and port operators and provide many years of expertise in project cargo, seafreight and inland waterway transport. This allows us to offer the most flexible solutions to our customers. We are confident that our clients will make increasing use of our new river-sea transport service in the near future.”
