C.H. Robinson has delivered 14 cryogenic trailers from Edmonton, Canada, to Brazil.
The units, which weighed 180 tonnes, were trucked from Edmonton to Galveston in Texas, where they were loaded onboard a Wallenius Wilhelmsen Ocean ro-ro vessel.
The vessel then shipped the cargoes to Panama where they were transloaded onto a second vessel bound for the port of Santos in Brazil.
C.H. Robinson said the cargo was on a strict timeline of one week, as it was urgently needed to provide oxygen at Brazilian health facilities to help tackle the spike in Covid-19 cases.
During the discharge at Panama, the local onsite team noticed the units were dirty due to the journey via road from Alberta to Galveston. As there were a few days to spare before the next vessel arrived, the team arranged for the trailers to be professionally cleaned at the terminal before being loaded onto the second ship.
C.H. Robinson is a member of the Project Cargo Network (PCN).
