Bati Group, Project Logistics Alliance member for Turkey recently succesfully completed a barge onto vessel project. The M/V Rolldock Star vessel arrived in Istanbul, Turkey for the float-in operation to load a jack up barge, which weighed 934 tons. The operation itself was quite challenging, however it ran smoothly thanks to the asisstance of the Rolldock Engineering Group. After the Rolldock vessel arrived, it was navigated to the anchorage area and began submerging.
While it was submerging, Bati positioned the barge for the float-in operation and managed to float in the barge within the estimated time frame. The lashing of the barge took another 6 hours, securing everything in position and preparing the vessel for sailing. The operation lasted a full day, including the lashing time of the Rolldock vessel. In the end, the Rolldock Star embarked on its journey to Calais, France, proundly carrying the barge on board. Well done Bati Group for the excellent handling and operations!

Project Logistic Alliance's member HiLOG's Turkish office recently completed an urgent evacuation of a client’s asphalt plant from Tehran, Iran to the clients bonded warehouse just outside Istanbul, Turkey. Due to a 2nd round of US sanctions against Iran which European companies are expected to comply with also, the evacuation was to be carried out immediately. The deadline for removal of the equipment was 5th November, by which the last piece of equipment was removed just in time. Thanks to HiLOG, the client managed to avoid the loss of this equipment which has a value close to 1 Million USD. The move required 18 truck loads, which was a challenge in itself to source as usual return loads from Iran to Turkey have ceased to exist, and many other businesses were under the same pressure as our client, and looking for transport solutions out of Iran. HiLOG also completed the export customs procedures in due time. The client was extremely happy with the result, and the Project Logistics Alliance would also like to congratulate HiLOG on succesfully completing such a complex project under high pressure!
