Over the Christmas period, Ramps Logistics in Trinidad & Tobago was tasked with an urgent move to restore full production at a local industrial plant. With freight options limited, the holiday window closing and cargo positioned across multiple locations, the operation required the mobilisation of an Antonov AN-124.
“Christmas Eve into Christmas Day is one of the most unforgiving operating windows in logistics. Capacity is scarce, working hours are tight and timelines collapse fast. But for 24/7 production facilities, the work cannot wait,” said Ramps Logistics.
Therefore, in under 48 hours the Ramps Logistics team coordinated the consolidation, clearance, security screening and load-out of critical equipment in Trinidad.
Just after 21:00 on December 24, the Antonov AN-124 entered Trinidad and Tobago’s airspace and before Christmas Day arrived, the cargo was on the ground and moving to the site. This enabled engineers to begin bringing the facility back online.
“This operation was executed under pressure at the highest level showing real-time problem solving as well as tight coordination across stakeholders, with safety and compliance protected at every step,” Ramps Logistics said.
“Organisations managing critical timelines know that peak-period moves like this are a reminder that the real differentiator isn’t speed alone, it’s preparedness. When capacity is tight and the margin for error disappears, outcomes depend on partners who can anticipate constraints early, coordinate across all stakeholders, and execute operations safely without losing momentum.”
Ramps Logistics is a member of the Project Cargo Network (PCN).
