GEFCO Italy has organized a special transport from Italy to Kazakhstan for Tenaris.
The company is a leading manufacturer and supplier of steel pipes used in the energy industry. The dedicated multimodal transport carried out for Tenaris involved the shipment of 1,100 tons of pipes. Loading took place at the Italian factory in Dalmine, after which the goods were transported by 48 trucks to Poland, where they were reloaded and set off by train to the final destination. The biggest challenge of the project was the short lead time, as only three weeks passed from the planning stage to delivery. The first 14 days were spent loading and transporting the 13-meter pipes from the Tenaris factory to the rail terminal in Elbląg. During this time, 4 GEFCO trucks operated daily. The goods were delivered to Aktau in Kazakhstan using 16 railcars.
