Moving 60 tonnes of semiconductor materials
Our specialist knowledge was needed to help fly 60 tonnes of climate-controlled semiconductor materials from Japan to Malaysia. The sensitive cargo was still under production when we received the request, so a flexible solution was needed to ensure it could be delivered within a week of completion.
Our Solution
Route: Narita > Kuala Lumpur > Kuching
Aircraft: Boeing B747-400F
We knew a Boeing B747 F-type was the best option for a shipment of this nature and volume. With none available registered in Japan or Malaysia, we sourced one from an American airline operating under Seventh Freedom traffic rights.
The client wanted to fly the first consignment direct from Japan to Malaysia, collecting a second shipment en route in Kuala Lumpur before delivering them both in Kuching.
We needed permission to consolidate cargo from two shippers on one flight from Japan, as well as to operate a cabotage flight in Malaysia for the second leg of the charter from Kuala Lumpur. Our specialist team worked closely with all stakeholders and each country’s aviation authority to secure the necessary permits.
The Finer Details
Rapid Response: Thanks to our broker’s experience with the required routing, we provided a solution within 24 hours of receiving this complex request.
24/7 Communication: We worked closely with the carrier and shippers to quickly overcome any logistical challenges that arose, providing the client with real-time updates throughout.
Unrivalled Expertise: When an AOG issue pushed back the charter’s departure, we worked to minimise the delay and ensured the sensitive cargo was kept at a controlled temperature.
