The first imports in the ports of Greater Odesa since the beginning of the war

Cargo: Salt

Weight: 9.2 thousand tons

Departure: Dumyat, Egypt

Destination: Chornomorsk, Ukraine

When the news space is filled with dry facts about transportation and its volumes, the complexity of the work of companies operating in the logistics industry is often lost. So let’s open the veil and show you how the logistics of such responsible and voluminous transportation is organized.
Let’s use the example of how Global Ocean Link transported a cargo of imported salt, which amounted to 9.2 thousand tons. An important point in this story is that it was the first import in the ports of Greater Odesa since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

GOL’s motivation and values

The work of Global Ocean Link is not just about delivering cargo from point A to point B. It is about a whole range of values that guide us in fulfilling orders. Among them are responsibility, timeliness, and competence. So, our team was well aware of the importance of the cargo arriving at its destination on time, and the customer company being able to use the delivered salt for its production needs.

What is the “backstage” of quality transportation

So, immediately after determining the volume of cargo, we focused on what conditions are necessary for transportation. At first glance, this stage is invisible, but it is crucial to ensure that the quality of the salt is maintained during transportation. Only then did we select the right vessel for the safe transportation of salt from the port of Dumyat to the port of Chornomorsk.
Another invisible side that remains on the backstage of transportation is its legal component. To ensure high-quality transportation of goods between countries, the logistics company’s team must be aware of the laws of both these countries and the international level. Therefore, we took care to prepare all the necessary supporting documents for customs control and compliance with international standards of cargo transportation.

Organizational and technical components

Let’s talk about loading and shipment. The salt was loaded onto the vessel in compliance with all necessary procedures and safety standards. By the way, it is at this stage that the quality of the cargo is checked. And thereafter, the vessel set sail towards the port of Chornomorsk.
Throughout the entire journey, the Global Ocean Link team monitored the condition of the cargo and transportation conditions. This is important to keep the whole process under control. So, when the cargo arrived safely at the port of Chornomorsk, the team organized prompt unloading of the salt and its delivery to the customer.

The result

Thus, a large batch of salt arrived from one country to another – 9.2 thousand tons of the product were successfully delivered from the port of Dumyat (Egypt) to the port of Chornomorsk (Ukraine). The fact that everything was possible on time and without any loss of quality is the result of a complex of necessary actions taken by a team of professionals. And although many of these actions, as already mentioned, usually remain invisible, at first glance, it is their coherence and systematic nature that makes it possible to achieve the desired results. This is especially critical in large-scale and responsible cases, where the competence of the logistics company is a critical factor and the cost of a mistake is extremely high.
This shipment was another confirmation of Global Ocean Link’s leadership position, high level of service and reliability in the field of cargo transportation.
