In September 2024, World Express Logistics Malta Ltd. (WEL) faced a unique logistics challenge: a 40ft flat rack carrying two spud sections, weighing 7 tons each, arrived at Malta Freeport from the UAE, destined for Cagliari, Italy. Since the port of Cagliari is poorly serviced by the major shipping lines from Malta, WEL was assigned to find a creative and economical solution to deliver this cargo to Cagliari. WEL’s team quickly devised a multi-modal transport solution to overcome these constraints
As soon as the customs paperwork were sorted, the cargo was transported to an inland warehouse, carefully offloaded from the flat rack and transferred onto specialized trailers. The trailers were then transported by ferry to Sicily, and from there, continued the journey to Cagliari via a secondary ferry from Palermo.
WEL team employed meticulous planning throughout the entire operation, from unloading in Malta to delivery in Cagliari. This operation was completed within one week—demonstrating WEL’s ability to manage time-sensitive and complex cargo projects with precision. WEL’s expertise, combined with their commitment to service excellence, allowed them to navigate the logistical hurdles and deliver the project on time. WEL Malta continues to prove its dedication to seamless freight forwarding, living up to their motto: “We Earn Loyalty
