| Units Transported | Cargo Weight | Total Distance Covered |
| 161 Units | 770 Tons | 4,000 KM |
Load Details (Size / Weight / Dimensions)
Cargo type: Steel sheets / steel coils — heavy cargo shipment
Total units: 161 units
Total cargo weight: 770 tons
Transport configuration: Flatbed trailer convoy (Volvo tractor units), heavy cargo road transport
Port / Point of Loading and Discharge
Origin (Loading): Jeddah Port, Saudi Arabia
Destination (Discharge): Jebel Ali, UAE
Mode: Cross-border road freight (GCC overland transport)
Challenges Faced During the Move
A key challenge on this move was the manual, sheet-by-sheet loading of the steel cargo onto each flatbed trailer. To ensure safe and efficient loading, the Glaube Logistics team was present on ground throughout the entire process, closely supervising load distribution to ensure each truck carried the appropriate quantity and remained within the permissible weight limits specified under road transport regulations.
Trailer arrangement presented a further challenge, driven by the prevailing geopolitical situation affecting regional equipment availability. As a result, trailers had to be sourced and arranged individually rather than as a single consolidated booking, requiring close coordination to keep the project on schedule.

Shipment 2
Special Project Container Move — Jeddah Port to Abu Dhabi
Route Summary
| Containers Moved | Container Type | Project Duration | Total Distance Covered |
| 40 Units | 40 ft | 3 Weeks | 3,963 KM |
Load Details (Size / Weight / Dimensions)

Port of Loading and Discharge
Port of Loading: Jeddah Port, Saudi Arabia

Challenges Faced During the Move
The move was executed against a difficult market backdrop marked by immense port congestion and equipment shortage across the trade lane. This was also a two-way transport operation — after delivery in Abu Dhabi, the fleet had to return and submit all 40 empty containers back at Jeddah Port, adding to the coordination required across the 3-week window. Despite these constraints, Glaube Logistics coordinated customs clearance for all 40 containers and arranged the full trucking fleet in-house, delivering all 40 containers on schedule.
Key Highlights
- All 40 x 40 ft containers delivered on time, in full
- End-to-end customs clearance handled for the complete container set
- Full trucking fleet arranged and coordinated by Glaube Logistics
- Two-way operation — empty containers returned and submitted at Jeddah Port after delivery
- Completed within a tight 3-week window despite severe port congestion and equipment shortage
Shipment 3
DG Cargo Transit Shipment — Jeddah Port to UAE
Route Summary
| Cargo Units Moved | Cargo Type | Total Distance Covered |
| 20 Units | DG Cargo | 4,000 KM |
Load Details (Size / Weight / Dimensions)
Shipment type: Transit shipment
Cargo count: 20 units
Cargo type: DG Cargo (Dangerous Goods)
Delivery model: Transit — direct delivery, container moved straight from port to final destination with no intermediate storage
Port of Loading and Discharge
Port of Loading: Jeddah Port, Saudi Arabia
Point of Discharge: UAE
Challenges Faced During the Move
As a direct delivery operation, all 20 DG cargo units moved straight from the port to final destination with no intermediate storage — which meant the entire customs clearance process and vehicle arrangement had to be completed a full day ahead of container release. Against the backdrop of significant port congestion in the current market, securing timely clearance within this tight window was a major challenge. Trailer availability added a further constraint, with equipment in short supply requiring the Glaube Logistics team to pre-arrange every vehicle well in advance to guarantee on-time delivery despite the shortage.
Key Highlights
- 20 DG (Dangerous Goods) cargo units delivered via direct transit delivery — port to final destination
- Full customs clearance and vehicle arrangement completed a day ahead of container release
- All trailers pre-arranged in advance to overcome equipment shortage
• On-time delivery achieved despite heavy port congestion in the current market
