Case

Keeping dangerous goods protected before the installation site was ready

Share

Download

Who do you call when you have 160 classified goods containers that need storage for over six months?

Our customer had 160 Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) containers that had to leave China in 2025.

Not only were they heavy goods, weighing 48 tonnes each.

Each one was also classified as dangerous goods.

So each container required precision handling at every step.

But the customer’s real challenge?

The final installation site in Hungary would not be ready until June 2026. More than six months after the goods left origin.

The right solution had to protect the high-value assets for months - and - give the customer peace of mind throughout.

That’s why, alongside port handling, customs clearance, escorted night transport, and crane unloading, our team secured a fully insured temporary storage solution near Budapest for the five-month holding period before they could be transported to the installation site.

Here's what the customer shared:

Expert market updates, articles, and logistics cases fresh from the world

The carrier disappeared – but the customer never noticed

When a shipment arrives on time, updates are clear, and problems are handled before they become disruptions, logistics feels simple.

What gets passed on is what gets delivered

A sales conversation may end with a solution on paper, but the real test begins when that solution is handed over to the people who need to handle it.

No time for excuses when plan A won’t work

Some shipments have strict timelines. Some shipments have fixed budgets. And sometimes, the obvious solution isn’t an option. But that’s not the customer’s problem. It’s ours to solve.

Preventing a wrong turn from becoming the customer’s problem

A full container meant for Malaysia arrived in Singapore by mistake. The cargo had already taken a wrong turn, so the next priority was to stop the issue from growing.

When airfreight plans change, the next solution cannot wait

Airfreight logistics can often feel like a race against time. A changed collection slot, missing document, or unavailable carrier can quickly make the difference between timely delivery and costly delays.

If distance adds complexity, close coordination becomes the shortcut

In logistics, customer needs can look very different depending on where in the world you are. When logistics realities differ from market to market, customers need people who understand the local context and can connect the right dots quickly.

Anticipating impact before it affects the customer

Lesley Gevers, one of our skilled forwarders, is quick to answer when asked about her most important daily responsibility. Her answer illustrates a deep commitment to uncomplicating her customers' world shared by her colleagues. This is how they apply it in practice.

The third eye behind every customer update

For customers, a shipment may look like cargo moving from A to B. But behind the scenes, it is often a chain of daily decisions that keeps complexity from becoming their problem.

Delivering 28 transformers for a landmark energy project in the UAE

To support a major energy infrastructure development in the Middle East, our customer needed to move 28 heavy transformers and 50,000 CBM of general and oversized cargo from four continents to the UAE. It was a logistics project defined by scale, urgency, and complexity, leaving no margin for error.

Securely moving oversized printer components by air — on time and with no room for error

When a large 3D construction printer needs a lift, time is ticking, and a single handling mistake could cost months of delay and derail the budget — it’s time to call in our heavy project logistics experts. Our valued customer did just that.
