The UAE’s Zajel Logistics expands services with new freight forwarding department

The new department aims to cater to various industries and projects in the region

Zajel has taken a strategic step towards cementing its position as the premier logistics partner for global clients. The company has announced the establishment of its new Freight Forwarding Department, which underlines its commitment to delivering world-class logistics solutions to its clients, covering air, sea and land transport.

The inaugural project for this newly minted department showcases Zajel’s dedication to handling complex operations on a grand scale. The company successfully transported a mega oil and gas shipment from Jebel Ali Port in the United Arab Emirates to Iraq’s Umm Qasr Port, marking a significant milestone.

Delicate equipment

The mega shipment weighed approximately 500 tons, with a volume exceeding 5,000cbm. Zajels freight forwarding department was successful in transporting the delicate shipment using a combination of break bulk, special equipment such as flat racks and open top containers, in addition to standard containers.

The consignment was made up of various oil and gas equipment such as modules, tools, pipes and other important apparatus vital to the energy sector. Some of the most complex weighed more than 80 tons and exceeded the length of 22 meters.

“Embarking on this exciting journey, we are proud to unveil Zajel’s Freight Forwarding solutions. This strategic addition reflects our dedication to redefining the logistics landscape with innovation, reliability, and unmatched customer experience,” commented Shaher Abu Hammor, Business Development Manager-Freight.
