GE Gas Turbine Project from Dammam to New York by First Global Logistics
General Electric – one of the most important and prestigious clients of project and oversized cargo globally – had launched a bid for a door to port movement from GE plant in Dammam to New York, USA. The FGL Project Team were invited to offer a transport quotation for a scope of work of moving 14 oversized units of gas turbine components and modules. The challenge was that they are located in Egypt and the project was a cross trade for them, but due to the team’s project experience and movement in Middle East region and market understanding they successfully secured the project by presenting a feasible loading plan with the minimum cost required, ensuring the safety of valuable cargo in this movement.
Project Description & Loading Plan
