Date: November 2025 – January 2026
Route: Pingdu, China – Abu Dhabi, UAE
Cargo: 55 units of industrial equipment, including furnaces and jet mills
Project scope: Delivery of equipment for graphite refinery project in Abu Dhabi
AsstrA-Associated Traffic AG has completed the delivery of the first shipment of industrial equipment for a graphite project in Abu Dhabi. The cargo, consisting of 55 units of industrial machinery, including furnaces and jet mills, was transported from China to the UAE. The total volume of the shipment was approximately 1,000 m³. Further deliveries are planned as part of the project.
The shipment followed a carefully coordinated multimodal route under FCA and DAP terms:
At each stage, strict safety standards were applied, timelines were monitored and equipment handling was meticulously controlled to prevent any damage.
“In projects like this, logistics is about managing the process and taking responsibility for the final outcome, rather than simply moving cargo,” says Patrick Richardson, Global Key Account Manager, AsstrA UK Sales Division.
Transporting technically complex and oversized equipment demands integration of several modes of transport, detailed route planning and risk mitigation. AsstrA applies these principles consistently across its projects, ensuring reliable, efficient, and smooth delivery regardless of cargo complexity or volume.
The project reflects the growing demand for integrated logistics solutions for industrial developments in the Middle East and highlights AsstrA’s experience in managing international multimodal shipments.
