Globalink Logistics has set high standards in project logistics by moving an over sized cargo weighing 155 tonnes from China to Tajikistan via Turkey. The 5 meter high shipment was meant for the Nurek Hydro Power Project in Tajikistan- a project with which they have been involved for over 10 years. Globalink Logistics is a Globalia member in Turkmenbashi and Ashgabat, Turkmenistan; Tbilisi, Poti, Georgia and Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan; Baku, Azerbaijan; Yerevan, Armenia, Aktau, Almaty, Atyrau, and Astana, Kazakhstan; Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia; Kiev, Ukraine; Dushanbe, Tajikistan; and Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

The road segment of the cargo’s journey from Bautino Port through the mountainous terrains of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan called for specialized transport solutions. They used specialized multi-axel trailers, multiple 6×6 heavy-duty tractors, and extensive civil works to ensure the cargo’s safe passage. On reaching its destination in Tajikistan, Globalink’s team managed the import customs clearance, discharging and cargo installation processes.

To quote Siddique Khan, CEO of Globalink, “This shipment was a challenging one and moving through the Black Sea and the Kerch Strait required precise timing to align with the Volga-Don river navigation season’s end. Our latest project cargo operation highlights Globalink’s three decades of experience handling complex project logistics in challenging environments like Central Asia and the Caucasus.”

Congratulation to the Globalink team on their successful project cargo operation!
