GEODIS’ Project Logistics division in the United Arab Emirates has successfully completed the transport of two oversized industrial coolers, each weighing approximately 200 tons, from Bilbao, Spain, to Abu Dhabi, UAE.

The operation presented significant challenges due to the heavy weight and large dimensions of the units, combined with the need to navigate Bilbao’s narrow access channel to a private jetty for load-out. These factors required precise engineering coordination and advanced logistics planning.

According to GEODIS, the project involved the use of specialized lifting, stowage customization, and reinforced cargo securing systems to ensure safety and stability throughout the sea transport. Every phase of the project emphasized reliability and efficiency, with a focus on minimizing operational risk.

The logistics company reported that the operation was completed on time and delivered cost efficiencies estimated at around 30% for the client.
