Sahil Freight adroitly handles EMCO's ODC for Iraq

Offering cost-effective logistics solutions to EMCO Ltd for its sensitive project cargo, Sahil Freight Express successfully undertook the loading and transport of the company's over-dimensional transformers from the factory premises for delivery at the installation site in Iraq in the shortest possible time.
This was another of the successes notched up by Sahil Freight since it embarked on a rapid growth path towards becoming a multi-location, international general freight forwarding logistics company with 30 branches across India and 15 around the world in the next five years. Leveraging its expertise and skill, it has positioned itself as a provider of tailored logistics solutions to the engineering and original equipment manufacturing sector too.
"Sahil Freight Express is known for its capability, efficiency and cost effectiveness in handling such project cargo," said Mr Rajan Mallick, Head, International Sales of the International Division of EMCO Ltd. "This quality is the determining factor that induced us to entrust our consignments to them. They are very cooperative and efficient and we know that we can rely on their quality and innovative approach. Handling such massive sizes of 6.8 m x 4.3 m x 3.1 m L x W x H in dimension and weight of 105 tonnes each can prove to be a demanding task, but for Sahil Freight handling of such project cargo of any dimension is a routine operation."
EMCO Ltd, a company set up in 1965, supplies transformers, accessories and other electrical equipment meant for power generation and sub-station projects being executed in Iraq. EMCO is also the supplier to over 60 projects being undertaken worldwide in 35 countries. Building on trust and confidence, Sahil Freight has succeeded in strengthening its relationship with EMCO, as is the case with all of its clients.
Sahil Freight Express Pvt. Ltd, a privately-owned company with extensive experience in air and sea chartering, Customs clearance and warehousing, has already undertaken the transport and delivery of two 165 mbA transformers weighing over 105 tonnes each for EMCO. And the company is engaged in transporting more such transformers for EMCO.
"Our capabilities have been repeatedly demonstrated by us as we now regularly transport a number of break-bulk consignments to various parts of the world," says Mr Suhail Shaikh, Sahil Freight's Chairman and Managing Director. "The two transformers were moved by road from the client's factory in Thane to Mumbai Port and then on to Iraq for onward delivery to the construction site. Recently, we handled part of 50,000 tonnes of construction equipment for a new steel plant in China. The project required transport from India to Shanghai and then on forwarding to the job site at Jiangyin."
A member of international freight forwarding networks like Project Professionals Group, the Heavy Lift Group and World Wide Project Consortium, Sahil Freight Express offers tailor-made solutions garnered from its expertise and knowhow developed over the years for meeting the specific needs of the engineering industry.
To stay ahead of the competition, the company has invested heavily in introducing end-to-end solutions for the planning, execution and management of the entire transportation lifecycle.
It has a platform for Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between clients, authorities and other suppliers, thus factoring in transparency, guaranteeing smooth communications and ensuring seamless transportation and processing. At every stage of the supply chain, a constant endeavour is made by Sahil Freight to find ways to control costs, negotiate transportation rates, improve services and accelerate returns on investment.
