Whilst most companies were winding down for the long Easter break, Simtex International Ltd were gearing up for a very busy period with three charter vessels loading in the space of days and their largest single shipment in their history so far.

During the Early hours of Easter Sunday, Simtex International’s vessel berthed in Canada to load a consignment of 5 x 20 ft containers of IMO class 1 explosive cargo.

Contending with the spring thaw and logistical challenges of transporting cargo more than 3000 miles over land to meet a narrow loading window of just 4 hours, our vehicles arrived at the port in perfect time to meet the vessel for direct loading.

Perfect planning from the operations team in the UK and out trusted partners in Canada meant the client arrived in the office after their long Easter break to receive the great news they had been expecting.
