Gianti Logistics, a Project Logistics Alliance member from Georgia, is one of the largest logistics companies in Georgia and across the Caucasus region. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Established in 2005 the company provides a full range of logistics services, including road, sea, rail, air, and multimodal transportation, with a strong focus on out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo. Gianti Logistics operates its own truck fleet, a customs-bonded terminal in Poti, one of the most important industrial zones in Georgia as well as bonded and non-bonded warehouses located within the Tbilisi customs clearance zone.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Gianti Logistics has successfully delivered some of the region\u2019s most demanding OOG projects, contributing to major developments such as Mingachevir TPP, SOCAR Haor Modernization, Shah Deniz 1 and 2, the South Caucasus Pipeline Extension Project, and the Chirag Oil Project. In 2025, the company undertook one of its most challenging operations: the transportation of 38 complete wind turbine systems from China to Georgia. The project required navigating mountainous terrain with sharp turns, steep gradients, and limited road infrastructure, making the operation exceptionally complex and high risk.<\/p>\n

The first stage of the project involved a comprehensive engineering and design phase. Detailed 2D and 3D simulations and technical drawings were developed and later implemented under real operating conditions. This phase focused on identifying bottlenecks and critical points along the route that required civil works, including land and property acquisition, demolition of obstacles, and infrastructure modifications. During this stage, the company also acquired highly specialized equipment that had never before been used in the country, including tower carriers, tower adapters, and extendable blade trailers.<\/p>\n

The next critical step was a detailed route assessment. The transportation corridor included bridges and highways, as well as small towns, narrow roads, mountain terrain, and tunnels. In several areas, buildings had to be dismantled to widen the roadway. Damaged road sections were repaired and leveled, and road surfaces were reinforced and modified to ensure the safe passage of oversized convoys.<\/p>\n

This was followed by a full-scale test run using a mock-up to verify the performance of the blade trailer and transportation techniques for the blades the longest components of the wind turbine generators\u2014under real operating conditions. The test also assessed the team\u2019s ability to perform under pressure and confirmed that the drivers could execute the operation with complete precision. The loaded convoy exceeded 92 meters in length. The successful completion of the test transport confirmed the accuracy of the engineering calculations and project forecasts.<\/p>\n

Following the successful test phase, preparations for vessel operations began. The port area in Poti was organized and prepared by Gianti Logistics to ensure the safe and efficient handling of the cargo.<\/p>\n

After several months of planning and preparation, the first vessel arrived at Poti Port in the third quarter of 2025. Vessel discharge operations were then carried out. The heavy cargo required specialized handling methods, and the long turbine blades had to be unloaded from the vessel onto trucks with extreme care. This project marked the first time Georgian ports handled cargo of this scale and complexity. Each component was carefully handled and positioned in a temporary storage area before onward delivery.<\/p>\n

One of the key challenges of the project was the limited timeline, which coincided with the winter season. Transportation commenced under various weather conditions, including heavy rainfall, snow, and strong winds. The destination area, Ruisi, is known for strong winds and challenging terrain. After rainfall and snowfall, mountain dirt roads became extremely difficult to navigate, often requiring towing assistance and additional traction support.<\/p>\n

Despite these challenges, Gianti Logistics\u2019 professional transport team and HSE supervisors managed the project with the highest level of care and completed the operation without any incidents. Through seamless coordination between engineers, project managers, the HSE manager, drivers, and hydraulic operators, the operation was executed with exceptional precision and efficiency. The project demonstrated Gianti Logistics\u2019 high level of expertise, strong teamwork, and unwavering commitment to safety, quality, and operational excellence.<\/p>\n

This is how Gianti Logistics delivers complex logistics solutions. Congratulations team Gianti Logistics!<\/p>\n
