Conqueror Ankara Delivers 98 Tons of Industrial Equipment from Ankara to Dubai by Road

With Strait of Hormuz closed and Suez traffic still low, KG Marin Logistik turns to an overland corridor to the Gulf

KG Marin Lojistik, Conqueror member in Ankara, Türkiye, has completed a major road freight operation from Ankara to Dubai, UAE. The project moved approximately 98 tons of industrial equipment across five countries along a single overland corridor. A fleet of nine mega trailers and one flatbed trailer carried the shipment together from the Turkish capital to the UAE.

International logistics is under considerable strain. The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed to normal commercial shipping, and Suez Canal traffic remains well below pre-crisis levels. As a result, with traditional maritime routes disrupted, shippers moving cargo between Türkiye and the Middle East are looking for dependable alternatives.

In this challenging environment, overland transportation corridors offer potential alternatives for moving cargo between Türkiye and the Middle East. KG Marin has responded by developing overland logistics solutions linking Türkiye with the region. Their Ankara–Dubai operation demonstrates how careful route planning, operational flexibility, and logistics expertise can help address complex transportation requirements across multiple borders.

Additionally, the movement of nearly 98 tons of industrial equipment required the coordination of ten trailers across an international route spanning five countries.Commenting on the operation, Mr Gencay Türkmen Kuru, Managing Partner of KG MARIN LOJISTIK, said: “Challenging times call for alternative solutions. When traditional maritime routes face disruptions, flexibility, experience, and creative logistics planning become more important than ever. Our Ankara–Dubai operation demonstrates what flexibility, experience and creative planning can achieve. When traditional routes face obstacles, KG Marin finds another way.”

As global supply chains continue to adapt to geopolitical developments and transportation disruptions, logistics providers are increasingly exploring alternative corridors to maintain cargo flows. Overland transportation can play an important role in providing additional routing options, particularly for industrial equipment and other cargo requiring tailored transport arrangements.

Congratulations to KG Marin and all the best for their upcoming projects!

Conqueror member in Toronto advises customers on mandatory CARM requirements for imports into Canada

W.T. Express Canada is helping freight forwarders and importers navigate Canada’s new customs compliance framework and avoid costly border delays

W.T. Express Canada, Conqueror Freight Network member in Toronto, Canada, is reminding its customers and overseas partners of the mandatory requirements under the Canada Border Services Agency’s (CBSA) Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM) system, which now governs the clearance of all commercial imports into Canada.

With the transition period officially ending on December 31, 2025, CARM became fully mandatory on January 1, 2026. Under the new framework, customs brokers can no longer use their own business number or financial security to clear goods on behalf of importers. Instead, every Canadian importer of record must establish and maintain their own CARM account before shipments arrive in the country.

To ensure smooth customs clearance, Canadian importers must have a valid Business Number (BN), an Import/Export Program (RM) account, registration in the CARM Client Portal (CCP), and delegated authority allowing their customs broker to act on their behalf. Importers wishing to benefit from Release Prior to Payment (RPP) must also enroll in the program and provide their own financial security through a surety bond or cash deposit.

Failure to comply with these requirements may result in shipments being held at the border, additional storage and demurrage charges, slower customs clearance procedures, and penalties or interest on overdue payments.

As part of its customer support initiatives, W.T. Express Canada is encouraging freight forwarders to verify their Canadian consignees’ CARM compliance before confirming bookings. The company is also advising importers to review their CARM Client Portal registration, ensure their financial security remains sufficient, and confirm that they have delegated authority to their customs broker to facilitate customs clearance.

“The full implementation of CARM marks a significant change in Canada’s import process, and preparation is essential for avoiding unnecessary delays and additional costs,” says Mr. Paul Lau, Managing Director of W.T. Express Canada. “We are working closely with our customers and overseas partners to ensure they understand the new requirements and complete the necessary registrations before cargo is shipped. Taking these steps in advance helps keep supply chains moving efficiently while ensuring full compliance with CBSA regulations.”

By proactively educating customers and partners on the new customs requirements, W.T. Express Canada continues to reinforce its commitment to providing reliable customs and logistics support. Through its expertise in Canadian import procedures, the company is helping businesses adapt to the evolving regulatory landscape while ensuring the uninterrupted movement of international shipments.

Conqueror Freight Network Partners with TMS Transportation & Climate Change Conference 2026

TMS Transportation & Climate Change Conference 2026 will be held on 24 September 2026 at Hilton Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

Conqueror Freight Network is pleased to announce its partnership with The Maritime Standard Transportation & Climate Change Conference 2026, a global industry platform bringing together leaders from transportation, maritime, energy, finance, technology, and government to address the practical challenges of building a more sustainable and resilient transport sector.

Held under the theme Scaling Climate Action: Finance, Fuel, Resilience & Recovery in Global Transport, TMS TACCC 2026 will examine how finance, alternative fuels, infrastructure development, and digital transformation can accelerate the transition towards a sustainable and future-ready transport ecosystem.

The conference will bring together policymakers, shipowners, port authorities, energy producers, financiers, technology leaders, and legal experts to discuss the evolving regulatory landscape, carbon markets, alternative fuel pathways, maritime decarbonisation, and the investment challenges associated with the transition to net-zero transport.

Key Industry Discussions

The 2026 programme has been developed against a rapidly changing global backdrop, with evolving regulatory frameworks, increasing carbon pricing pressures, alternative fuel development, geopolitical disruption and growing concerns around energy security and supply chain resilience influencing investment and strategic decision-making across the transport sector. The conference will examine how the industry can move from climate ambition towards real-world implementation by bringing together perspectives from across the maritime, transport, energy, infrastructure, finance and technology sectors.

The First Session

The first session, “Delivering Net-Zero Maritime: Regulation, Markets & Investment Readiness,” will focus on the regulatory, financial and commercial forces shaping maritime decarbonisation.

Discussions will examine the latest developments in the IMO’s global GHG regulatory framework, including the proposed fuel standard, GHG pricing mechanism, lifecycle emissions, chain of custody and compliance requirements. The session will also assess the implications of regional regulatory frameworks such as EU ETS and FuelEU Maritime, as well as the growing complexity created by overlapping international and regional climate policies.

Furthermore, this session will explore the implications of regulatory divergence for competitiveness, investment certainty and long-term industry strategy.  The financing of maritime decarbonisation will form another key area of discussion, with attention to green and transition finance, blended finance, insurance, public-private partnerships and multilateral support.

The programme will also take a practical look at alternative fuels, examining the availability, cost, infrastructure requirements, lifecycle emissions, safety and scalability of ammonia, methanol, LNG, hydrogen and biofuels. It will conclude by examining geopolitics, energy security and maritime resilience, exploring how disruption around critical maritime chokepoints is affecting energy flows, shipping routes, freight economics, insurance costs, emissions, infrastructure priorities and long-term investment strategies.

The Second Session

The second session, “Technology & Infrastructure: Scaling Decarbonized Transport Ecosystems,” will turn its focus towards the technologies, infrastructure and integrated systems required to move decarbonisation from pilot projects to large-scale implementation. The session will explore how advanced analytics, automation and digital tools can improve routing, reduce emissions and enhance operational performance across fleets and ports. Moreover, it will also examine the role of digital measurement, reporting and verification systems, blockchain and transparent carbon accounting in strengthening emissions tracking, compliance and accountability.

The transformation of ports will be another central theme, with discussions focusing on the development of Green Ports as integrated energy hubs equipped with shore power, alternative fuel bunkering, storage and grid connectivity.  As the availability of alternative fuels remains a key challenge for the transition, the programme will examine the requirements for industrial-scale fuel production and logistics, including global distribution networks, certification frameworks and cross-border collaboration to bridge the gap between supply and demand.

Attention will further turn to the decarbonisation of existing fleets through carbon capture, retrofitting technologies and energy efficiency measures, assessing their potential to reduce emissions from current assets while supporting a pragmatic transition. The programme will conclude with a focus on the wider ecosystem required to deliver the transition, highlighting the role of engineering companies, classification societies, shipyards, technology providers and logistics stakeholders in advancing innovation, compliance, vessel design and integrated system development.

Through its two core sessions, TMS TACCC 2026 will provide a platform for senior stakeholders to examine the intersection of regulation, finance, fuel, technology, infrastructure, energy security and resilience. The conference aims to support a practical and commercially focused dialogue on how the global transport sector can accelerate decarbonisation while responding to geopolitical uncertainty, evolving market conditions and the infrastructure demands of a rapidly changing energy landscape.

Connecting Conqueror Members with the Sustainable Transport Community

For freight forwarders, TMS TACCC 2026 offers an opportunity to engage with the wider maritime and transport ecosystem and gain insights into the regulatory, technological, and commercial developments that are shaping the future of global logistics.

Conqueror encourages its members to participate in TMS TACCC 2026 as a valuable opportunity to expand their professional networks, gain insights into the latest developments in sustainable transportation, and connect with senior decision-makers from across the maritime, logistics, energy, and technology sectors.
