Vector boasts many years of experience in so-called "project cargo" shipments, which include all shipments of materials used in high engineering works such as the construction of roads or railways, or the transportation of extraction plants.
These are very complex shipments, so Vector's goal is to offer its clients complete assistance in all phases of the process, from the acquisition of documentation to the final inspection, also taking care of all the essential operations necessary for the successful completion of such delicate shipments. An example of this is the planning of lifting operations: each piece of cargo must be lifted and positioned with extreme caution, without causing damage to itself or other goods or people. Therefore, it is essential to study the spaces and loading points meticulously. Vector also advises on the ideal type of packaging for each individual shipment.
Vector's experience and reputation allow it to have very close direct relationships with the best maritime and air line companies, with which it evaluates the various loading possibilities on ships and flights, assessing whether such services can be usable and reliable, such as breakbulk and COSCO Shipping, to name a few of the most renowned.
If necessary, it is possible to arrange shipments on part or full charter means. Regarding air shipments, Vector collaborates with international agencies for the total chartering of aircraft of various sizes, maintaining direct relationships with airport authorities to choose strategic stops for the aircraft, taking into account the proximity of the sender, road conditions to reach the airports, and the costs and reliability of airport handlers.
As explained by Joselyn Navarrete, Export Operation Team Leader South and Central America Market at Vector:
"In 2021, Vector organized a shipment of 115 containers to Brazil, a challenging operation completed thanks to the tenacity of the collaborators and the ability to find new solutions from time to time to solve every type of problem. In that situation, some competitors backed out because they thought it was impossible, but we believed in it from the beginning. It wasn't easy, but we were able to coordinate everything. Working in project cargo requires a lot of dynamism because these shipments have to take various factors into account: carriers, customs permits, and external factors."
"Another important shipment was the one organized from Antwerp to Santos. On that occasion, our competitors offered very competitive prices, and it was also necessary to consider that these were large-sized packages. We managed to get the business by offering a solution that was both economical and qualitative, shipping the goods from Belgium and not from Italy. The most challenging aspect was having to adapt to the different regulations of the various European countries, different from Italy. This was possible thanks to the support of quality partners. Having to deal with different authorities from time to time is one of the most engaging aspects of this job. Why should one choose Vector? I think for the quality of the services offered in this type of shipment, for the experience and tenacity of the group," added Gabriele Zanotto, Export Operation Manager.
In 2023, Vector joined the WCA project network, one of the largest networks worldwide for this type of shipment, another great success for the company.
