How Did Cross-Border Collaboration Drive This Project Cargo Success?
Manuport Logistics Greece Ltd, a member of the XLProjects Network (XLP), successfully handled a project cargo shipment through close coordination with Round Logistics Ltd, an XLP member in China. The shipment involved a 40-foot flat rack container carrying out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo from China to Greece, nominated by a local Greek customer.
This cooperation highlights the value of working within a trusted project network, enabling smooth communication, aligned standards, and efficient execution across borders.
What Was the Scope and Nature of the Shipment?
The project involved one 40-foot flat rack container loaded with overwidth and overheight cargo, requiring careful handling and compliance with carrier and port regulations.
Manuport Logistics Greece Ltd managed the overall shipment, while Round Logistics Ltd acted as the origin agent in China. At the time of reporting, the container had been fully loaded and gated into the port of loading, marking a key milestone in the project.
Why Was the XLProjects Network Critical to Success?
Handling OOG cargo demands strong coordination and local expertise. By partnering within the XLProjects Network, both companies operated under shared operational standards, allowing faster decision-making and reduced execution risk.
This project demonstrates how collaboration between XLP members enables reliable delivery of project logistics solutions, even for single-container shipments requiring specialized handling.
