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!

HTL Logistics provided an end-to-end solution that encompassed pick-up, clearance, stuffing, lashing, chocking, and transportation to the port. This ensured a seamless transition from the initial stages to the final delivery. However, one of the major challenges faced during this project was ensuring the protection and security of the goods throughout the transportation process. To overcome this HTL Logistics secured the vehicles and containers used for transport and ensured that all drivers were thoroughly trained in security procedures. Moreover, the transporter service selected for this project adhered to strict compliance measures, including obtaining all necessary road permissions, to ensure the utmost safety of the cargo. Additionally, they used a variety of special equipment, to accommodate the specific requirements of the cargo. The transportation process adopted a hybrid approach, using semi low bed trailers tailored to the cargo needs at various stages.

Conqueror Genoa & Venice used 3 x 40 HC and 1 x 20 containers for transporting this OOG cargo. Furthermore, they required a special truck with 7 axle lines and a length of 19.70 metres. They also had to hire the largest crane for lifting the heavy machinery.

To quote Mr. Riccardo Stocco, the Managing Director of Sev Stante, “Probably, the most challenging aspect of this project was finding a break bulk departure vessel to accept this heavy cargo and pick up the presses 40 days before the vessel departure. However, as a company with nearly 50 years of experience in international forwarding, our expert team managed to deliver the cargo to its destination on time.”

Congratulations to Sev Stante Overseas for successfully handling this complex shipment!
