HIGH UP TO THE SKY - ILS Chile delivered project in 5000 metres altitude
ILS Chile, United Ocean Lines exclusive local network partner, successfully delivered project cargo to the area of the volcano Cerro Pabellón.

The project transport related to a geothermal plant next to the Cerro Pabellón at 5000 metres altitude included pipes and accessories.

ILS Chile, in charge of transport and deconsolidation of the goods, successfully deconsolidated more that 120 containers in the seaports of Iquique and Antofagasta, resulting in 200 truckloads of pipes with different diameters.

The transport had to cross the Atacama Desert, facing temperatures of -15° C in the early morning and +39° C in the afternoon. All paired with winds of up to 80 km/hr.

Despite of the adverse weather conditions, ILS CHILE delivered all goods without any damage and ahead of time.

SINGAPORE – MALAYSIA | OVERSIZED CARGO EXPRESS DELIVERY
SSC Shipping Malaysia, United Ocean Lines exclusive local network partner, successfully delivered oversized cargo within 24 hours express delivery conditions.

What happens when a client needs some specialized equipment like “load banks” to be delivered within 24 hours so that some vital generator sets can be tested and certified for use? Especially considering that the cargo is based in a neighboring country.

The right type of trucks had to be used to perform the delivery from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, including customs clearance at both borders. All the arrangements had to be done at the same time. Coordination with the supplier, customs department and the client was crucial so that the units were delivered in the shortest amount of time, so that there would be no delay in getting the generator sets certified before being deployed for use.

SSC Shipping Malaysia managed to do it with very little time to spare.
