X2 Projects Member The experts at The Smart Logistics team recently developed a project cargo for a major juice producer company in Mexico. The shipment involved the transport of machinery and several industrial tanks, from Albacete and Madrid to the Port of Valencia in Spain and then shipped to the Port of Veracruz in Mexico. The cargo contained 3 Flat Rack Containers, 40’ OOG & 10 Containers 40’ HC. The tanks were 5.40 meters long and had a diameter of 2.76. Each tank weighed a massive 1500 Kgs. An interesting feature of this shipment was the lashing and securing of the tanks on all three 40’ flat rack containers (out of gage), for which the Smart team had to go to clientís facilities in order to reduce costs. Once the lashing and securing was done, the flat rack containers were moved to the Port of Valencia to continue its shipment journey to Veracruz in Mexico. The lashing and securing of the Smart team is essential to all their projects, as they have to put together the professionalism and expertise of their technicians with the planning and simulation of scenarios from their Pricing department, in order to reduce costs while not losing the professionalism and high quality of the services that has distinguished them as a brand, globally. 2017 Q2 Newsletter l Page 43
