Militzer & M\u00fcnch transported out-of-gauge wooden boxes, a total weight of circa 28,300 kilograms, from Shanghai, China, to Almaty in Kazakhstan. Much too big for rail transport \u2013 but Militzer & M\u00fcnch offered the perfect solution to transport the huge blower systems for transformers.<\/p>\n

For a renowned German technology corporation, Militzer & M\u00fcnch China has been handling regular transports via rail from China to Germany since late summer last year. Which is why the customer also commissioned Militzer & M\u00fcnch with the transport of transformer cabinet blowers and cell cabinets from China to Kazakhstan. As usual, this shipment was also meant to go by rail; yet owing to a change in regulations, rail freight was not possible. \u201cWe had to explain to the customer that the new Chinese railway regulations that became effective in January 2019 did not allow transporting out-of-gauge cargo via rail\u201d, says Glenn Bai, Managing Director Militzer & M\u00fcnch China. \u201cSo, our colleagues from different Militzer & M\u00fcnch branch offices cooperated to offer the customer an alternative solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Truck as an alternative means of transport<\/b><\/p>\n

The result: Militzer & M\u00fcnch delivered the freight as full truck load (FTL). The Militzer & M\u00fcnch branch office in Urumqi in north western China made it possible. Located near the border to Kazakhstan, the branch office fulfilled the necessary conditions for the transport, as the cargo had to be transloaded by Militzer & M\u00fcnch at Khorgos, Kazakhstan, at the border to China. The reason: Chinese trucks are not approved for transports in CIS countries. As they are near Khorgos, the colleagues at the Urumqi branch were able to take care of the transloading process on site.<\/p>\n

The advantages of cooperation<\/b><\/p>\n

To realize the entire transport, three Militzer & M\u00fcnch colleagues worked closely together: Kaka Xu, M&M China\u2019s Account Manager for the technology corporation, Anna Elcheva, Trade Lane Manager Russia and CIS at Militzer & M\u00fcnch, and Guanghua Nie, Manager of the Urumqi branch. The three colleagues also contributed helpful local knowledge, such as for customs clearance. All in all, the transport took only 14 days.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur advantage at Militzer & M\u00fcnch is that we operate numerous branch offices in many countries along the New Silk Road\u201d, says Glenn Bai. \u201cWithout this, the transport of the over-dimensioned cargo via truck would not have been possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
