Success Story | #GEODIS recently accomplished a challenging and complex logistics operation in Napier, New Zealand, right after Cyclone Gabrielle.The project involved delivering 451 components and 133 containers, and the utilisation of a dedicated 23,500 sqm yard for handling. Our Project Logistics teams successfully navigated 50kms of transport amidst harsh conditions, including icy roads, snow, fog, and heavy rain. We opted for nighttime travel for greater safety and collaborated closely with authorities following the state of emergency. To avoid congestion, we implemented staggered loads and skillfully negotiated the steep uphill roads while ensuring reliable transit to the site. This successful completion highlights our focus on operating in a zero-harm environment, meticulous planning, and tailor-made end-to-end solution. GEODIS once again demonstrates its ability to adapt to demanding situations and to deliver exceptional value to its customers. Congratulations to all! 👏

🛳️ Navigating Challenges! #GEODIS recently completed another impressive project: transporting a massive 170-ton debarking drum from Finland to inland Sweden for #Andritz. The complex operation involved innovative solutions and greater responsiveness to deliver the 22.5x7.5 meter cargo on time and in perfect condition, ensuring uninterrupted operations for the papermill. Our dedicated Project Logistics teams faced demanding challenges: 🛑 Unexpected freezing of the Baltic Sea: The team quickly found an ice-classed vessel to navigate through the thick ice and snow storms. 🛑 Unforeseen strike among the Finnish ports: A last-minute switch of port and crew ensured the project stayed on track. Using two 150-ton cranes, we lifted a trailer onto a barge, placed the cargo on top, and secured it. In three days, we seamlessly transported the cargo from Gothenburg to its remote destination via the Swedish inland waterways and canals. Upon arrival, we safely unloaded the cargo onto the end client's quay using a heavy haulage truck and a flying bridge. Congratulations to Adam Carlsson, Ruwan Lindkvist, and the teams involved in this successful operation, which showcases innovative solutions and unparalleled service to fulfill our customers' needs!
