The Challenge
The client needed to mobilize 45 pieces of construction equipment from 8 different US locations to Sydney for a major metro rail project. Australian biosecurity requirements demanded thorough cleaning and inspection of all equipment.
Our Solution
We consolidated equipment from across the US to Port of Baltimore, where each unit underwent USDA washing and biosecurity preparation. RoRo vessels transported the fleet to Sydney, where our Australian partner managed customs and delivery to the project site.
