Aviation

Building an aircraft requires extreme precision and attention to detail – which is how we approach our aviation shipments.

The rapid growth of the global middle class and an unprecedented appetite for travel means the aviation sector continues to soar. Another major driver for the industry is the need to switch to new more fuel-efficient aircraft in order to maintain a competitive cost base. Both of those factors explain why OEMs have lengthy order books and why there is significant pressure on their supply chains. Therefore, the delivery performance of OEM suppliers is key.

Wings ready for shipment

We serve several segments of the aviation industry and can accommodate a wide variety of products - from wings, engines and fuselag to helicopters and helicopter blades. With our engineering experience and creativity, we have designed a range of handling methods that avoid equipment that requires empty repositioning, while ensuring safe ocean transportation. In addition, our liner service provides regular and punctual delivery of your sub-assemblies from factory to factory, which facilitates just-in-time and cost-efficient production.
