To ensure the safety of the shipment, Artlog implemented lashing and securing techniques and utilized dunnage to prevent components shifting during transport. The cargo was then transported to the Port of Haydarpaşa, Turkey via a multipurpose vessel chartered from Cosco Shipping Lines, unloaded, and subsequently transloaded onto a chartered sea-river vessel before reaching its destination in Turkmenbashi International Seaport. Apart from booking in the charter vessels, Artlog also oversaw the transloading operations, which included the hiring of cranes and trailers in Haydarpaşa, the temporary storage, transit customs and port handling. Despite the complexity of the project, Artlog executed the delivery promptly, showcasing their expertise in the project field and their know-how along the Silk Road Middle Corridor.
