Our Cooperative Tandem Global Logistics Partners in Genoa, Iscotrans S.p.A., who have been active since 1976 and specialize in shipments of industrial plants and machinery, also in developing countries, oversaw a complex operation that took place over the past few days and which featured a load of two maxi coils, weighing respectively 520 and 460 tons. The two reels were embarked last Wednesday in the port of Trieste aboard a geared ship of the specialized company BigLift, thanks to the support of an SPMT (Self-propelled modular transporter), with destination Rotterdam. The 520 ton reel was lifted for about 2 hours. The operation, the company explained in a note, required "particular care and professionalism during the design and carrying out of the transport in order to calculate the forces involved during the lifting and the maritime journey and to carry out the welding operations in hold and lifts adequate for cargo protection.
Iscotrans, which in addition to the headquarters in Genoa has its own offices in Milan, Rome and Algiers, handled 5,000 shipments in 2018, for a total of 225,000 tons of goods and approximately 11,000 TEUs, developing a turnover of 31 million euros, thanks to a staff of 35 professionals.
