Freight forwarder AsstrA Associated Traffic has been on hand for projects in both Asia and Europe.
Covering approximately 1,000 km, AsstrA delivered 350 tonnes of specialised equipment for an overhead stacking crane from Luoyang to Shanghai, both in China. A component used in industrial work that requires precise handling and placement of heavy loads, delivery of the specialised equipment was finalised earlier this year.
“Overall, the transportation proceeded smoothly without any major issues. However, the AsstrA team encountered a notable challenge upon arrival at the port: the cargo’s packaging had been compromised during transit,” said Chentao Zhang, business development manager at AsstrA. “The team successfully managed to repackage and secure the cargo, restoring it to a suitable condition for continued transport.”
In Europe, AsstrA has delivered industrial oil extraction equipment from Italy to Ukraine. Despite a tight deadline and road construction along the journey, AsstrA distributed the equipment across 13 dedicated trucks which were carefully selected based on weight, dimensions and a no-transshipment requirement, which was instructed by the customer.
“We focused on clear coordination between all parties involved – carriers, government authorities and the customer. This ensured seamless execution of the entire supply chain,” commented Viktoriya Lukyanets, IPL specialist, Ukraine division at AsstrA.
In March 2025, HLPFI reported that AsstrA had delivered condensers from China to Uzbekistan.
