Globalink Logistics has completed its role in the Nurek hydropower project in Tajikistan.
Globalink’s role in the project has been ongoing for over ten years. Notable shipments have included the transport of two transformers, tipping the scales at over 200 tonnes, during 2022. That year, Globalink handled 20,000 tonnes of project cargo for the project.
The company completed its role in the project in November 2023 after transporting a 5 m-high, 155-tonne unit from China, through Türkiye’s Haydarpaşa port, to the project site. Timing was pivotal for this shipment as it had to navigate through the Black Sea and the Kerch Strait to connect with the Volga-Don River before its navigational season ended.
The road segment of the cargo’s journey posed further challenges. It had to travel from Bautino port through the mountainous terrains of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, requiring specialised transport solutions. Globalink therefore deployed specialised multi-axle trailers and multiple 6 x 6 heavy-duty tractors. Extensive civil works, meanwhile, ensured the cargo’s safe passage.
Upon reaching its destination, Globalink’s team in Tajikistan managed the import Customs clearance, discharged and installed the cargo.
