The task was by no means easy or standard. The shipment, loaded under the supervision of experienced and qualified Globalink personnel, was tugged through the Danube to the Black Sea where river tow boats were replaced by ocean ones for the haul to Ilichevsk. Then transloaded onto a sea vessel, the journey continued through Rostov via the Volga Don into the Caspian Sea and reached Turkmenbashi Port. With one of the many legs of this incredible journey over, the cargo was then loaded onto a 20 axle trailer for the final trip to its destination: a refinery. As complicated and intricate as the entire operation was Globalink stayed on top of the situation all the way through by constantly tracking the shipment from origin to destination.
