OTIM (Italy) and FJT LOGISTICS (Australia & New Zealand) join forces for moving an Helicopter from Auckland to Livorno

An AW Trekker Helicopter was in Australia and then in New Zealand on a demonstration tour when its scheduled return was disrupted by COVID19. OTIM SPA, your Pangea partners in Italy, were appointed to find a freight solution for returning the Helicopter back to Italy. For that, OTIM requested assistance from FJT LOGISTICS, your Pangea Partners in Australia and New Zealand.

After studying several transport options including trans-shipment alternatives and other ports of discharge in North Europe, FJT New Zealand moved the helicopter to Melbourne and then on a connecting vessel to Livorno. Facing a very tight deadline, FJT were able to get all of the pieces of the puzzle lined up to transport and load to meet the port cut off. This was a great example of teamwork and continuity through the FJT branches.

The Helicopter of 2,250 Kg weight and 11,65 mts long, was picked up at the aerodrome and loaded to MAFI trailer, then moved to the port and loaded with a suitable crane to a RO-RO vessel. The EUR 4M Helicopter lashing and securing was arranged by the FJT Team.

Upon arrival of the shipment in Livorno, OTIM will arrange the reception and inland transport to its final destination in Italy.

The operations are being handled with accurate professionalism and perfect coordination by all parties. Congratulations for a successful job!
