Safe and Timely International Transport from Genoa to Benghazi
Introduction to International Civil Helicopter Shipping
Our company specializes in managing complex international shipments, including oversized cargo and specialized vehicles. In this case history, we describe the transportation of a civil helicopter from Italy to Libya, which required detailed planning, the use of specific containers, and precise management of customs documentation, ensuring our client received a safe, timely, and efficient service.
Phase 1: Customs Verification and Export Documentation Preparation
Shipping a civil helicopter requires thorough management of customs procedures. After receiving the request, our team verified all necessary export documentation, ensuring that the helicopter complied with customs regulations.
Phase 2: Disassembly of the Helicopter in Vercelli and Cargo Preparation
To facilitate transportation and ensure cargo safety, the helicopter was disassembled by a specialized company in Vercelli. The disassembly process included removing the rotors, main body, and accessories, reducing the overall size of the cargo and making it storable in the container.
Phase 3: Container Selection and Helicopter Loading
For maritime transport, we chose a 1×40′ HC OT (Open Top) container, ideal for oversized loads requiring top-loading. The disassembled helicopter, along with its accessories and components, was placed in the container, which provides ample space and allows easy top access to the cargo. The helicopter was oversized by approximately 30 cm compared to standard dimensions, making the Open Top container the best choice for ensuring cargo safety and protection.
Phase 4: Cargo Protection with Extra Size Tarpaulin
To protect the helicopter during the sea voyage, we purchased an extra size tarpaulin. This tarpaulin fully covered the cargo, shielding it from dust, moisture, weather conditions, and external damage.
Phase 5: CFR Shipment and Arrival at the Port of Benghazi
The shipment was made under CFR (Cost and Freight) terms, meaning that our client received the cargo at the Port of Benghazi, with all maritime transport costs covered up to the point of arrival. Thanks to our experience and efficient logistics management, the helicopter was delivered on time and in excellent condition, ready for final assembly and use.
Conclusions: Safe and Timely Transport for Civil Helicopters
The shipment of the civil helicopter from Italy to Libya is an example of how our company handles complex, oversized international transports. With the choice of a 40′ HC OT container, the protection of the extra size tarpaulin, and careful management of customs documentation, the helicopter arrived at its destination without damage, on time, and according to our client’s requirements.
