Posted on | by Jesus

They successfully coordinated the cross-border movement of five oversized shutters, overcoming customs, port, and regulatory challenges through meticulous planning and seamless execution

MGL Cargo Services, member of Conqueror Freight Network in Cairo, Egypt, has completed a highly demanding Out-of-Gauge (OOG) land freight project, transporting five oversized industrial shutters from Egypt to Oman. The operation involved five extendable low-bed trailers, each carrying cargo measuring 28 metres in length, 3.4 metres in width, and 4.9 metres in height, with a weight of 49 tonnes. Executing a project of this scale required extensive planning, close coordination among multiple stakeholders, and expert handling across several jurisdictions.

As part of the comprehensive logistics solution, the team managed customs clearance in Egypt and at transit borders, end-to-end land transportation, and all in-transit handling and documentation, ensuring the cargo moved efficiently despite its exceptional dimensions.

“Our team thrives on projects that demand technical expertise, strategic planning, and flawless coordination,” said Mr Wassim Magdy, Managing Director of MGL Cargo Services. “Successfully transporting these oversized units from Egypt to Oman demonstrates our ability to turn complex logistics challenges into efficient and reliable solutions. Every stage of the operation required collaboration, adaptability, and attention to detail, and I am proud of the commitment our team and partners showed throughout the journey.”

The project presented several operational challenges, including navigating complex Egyptian customs procedures, developing a specialized ferry loading plan for the oversized cargo, securing special approvals for X-ray inspections at Duba’a Port due to the cargo’s height, and obtaining road permits across multiple countries. Through careful preparation and proactive problem-solving, the team successfully overcame each obstacle and completed the shipment safely and on schedule.

Congratulations to MGL Cargo Services on successfully pulling off this complex OOG shipment!
