Bertling Logistics proudly announces the successful completion of a complex air-charter project, moving 128 tons of raw steel plates with four Boeing 747 charters using our B-Cargo Services – designed for heavyweight, oversized cargoes and dedicated charters
POL: Oosterhout, the Netherlands
POD: Aktau, Kazakhstan
Industry: Oil & Gas
Volume: 128 tons of raw steel plates | maximum dimensions of 1,200 cm × 300 cm × 22 cm | individual weights of up to 10.8 tons
Bertling Team: Kazakhstan, Düsseldorf
The project covered collection, airworthy packing, export customs clearance, cargo securing, uplift to Aktau, import clearance, and final delivery – providing a true door-to-door logistics solution.
Challenges included limited ground-handling in Aktau, requiring load adjustments and additional uplifts to safely handle all pallets. Timing was critical throughout, from packing and transfer to aircraft pallet build-up.
Thanks to outstanding coordination between Bertling Düsseldorf and Atyrau, all four aircraft were successfully deployed, and the shipment delivered safely and efficiently. This project highlights the expertise, teamwork, and precision that Bertling brings to heavyweight and oversized cargo solutions.
