Austromar handles South Korean production line with Noatum

Austromar have recently handled a production line from South Korea to Hungary together with fellow PCN member, Noatum Project Cargo.

The shipment consisted of wooden boxes with various oversized dimensions totalling 290m3.

Project Cargo Manager at Austromar Hungary, Viktor Kardos explains; “This is a challenging period in the OOG import business from South Korea, especially if the consignment is time-sensitive and needs at least 6 different kinds of FR and OT like this one did. After the container carrier’s booking was refused, together with our good PCN partner in South Korea, Noatum, we overcame the obstacles and found a solution by changing the service to RORO and loading the whole shipment as static cargo on a RORO vessel to the Adriatic Port of Koper, Slovenia. Thanks to our good relationship with the POD Koper Operations Team, the cargo handling was fast and our local partner was able to secure the necessary trailer capacity and arrange the customs process in time. The shipment was then delivered to the final destination in Hungary within 2 working days.”

The customer was delighted with Austromar for the professional execution, delivery and information flow.
