Logwin And Chapman Freeborn Transport Pipe System From Sweden To Chile
On behalf of a long-standing air freight customer, Logwin commissioned Chapman Freeborn’s Frankfurt office to charter four Antonov 124 freighter aircraft for the high-profile operation. Three planes took off for Chile on October 15, 16 and 17; the fourth machine had already transported the first shipment of goods to Santiago de Chile at the beginning of October. The Antonov AN-124 is the second largest freight aircraft in the world and features a nose and tail can be opened hydraulically. Planning right down to the last detail This huge project required Logwin to make very detailed preparations which addressed questions relating to forwarding and logistical circumstances. It also had to clarify the design of the steel frame and the details of the loading process. The air freight experts worked together with charter specialists Chapman Freeborn, with whom Logwin has already collaborated on many exceptional projects in the past, to define the individual work steps. There then followed numerous coordination discussions with all the parties involved – the Göteborg company Metso Power AB, manufacturer of the pipe systems and steel construction used in transport, Volga Dnepr Airlines and the Antonov design office. Logwin's partner for Scandinavia, Trust Forwarding, was also involved in the run-up and had staff on site together with Logwin employees from Germany and Chile as well as Chapman Freeborn experts to help load each Antonov. Logwin entrusted its Scandinavian partner with delivering the cargo to and managing formalities at Göteborg airport. Trust Forwarding sent a total of twelve heavy transporters to the airport. The pipe systems delivered will be used as heat exchangers in Chile. The severe earthquake in February 2010 almost completely destroyed the plant that was operating there. All parties involved are relieved now that the final elements have arrived in Santiago on time. "We are delighted that his exceptional transport contract went so smoothly", explains Eduardo Vergara, Country Director Logwin in Chile, who accompanied all four loading operations in Göteborg as well as the arrival in Chile. "This is thanks to the great commitment shown by all those who contributed their expertise and active support to the project."
