Aramex has launched Aramex Data Center Logistics to manage time-critical deliveries, starting in the GCC, Southeast Asia and Taiwan, and the US South.
From Abu Dhabi and Riyadh to Johor, Texas and Louisiana, AI data centers depend on some of the most demanding cargo in logistics. Transformers and chillers can take a year or more from order to site and must arrive in step with construction.
As halls are handed over, the AI racks follow: a single crated rack weighs around 1.75 metric tons, is worth several million dollars, is export-controlled and can be damaged in transit without a mark on the crate.
Today these deliveries are often split between separate forwarders, customs brokers, heavy-haul firms and installers, with no one accountable for the whole journey. One late or damaged shipment can push back the day a data center goes live.
Responsibility
Aramex Data Center Logistics takes responsibility for that whole journey:
Construction: transformers, switchgear, generators and chillers, including heavy and oversized loads, tracked from the purchase order and delivered in step with the build schedule
Compute: AI racks and network equipment from the factories in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Mexico, the US and Europe, by charter flight or secure road, in full compliance with customs and export controls
Inside the data center: white-glove handling at the loading dock, unpacking and placement in the data hall
Aftermarket: spare parts, replacements and returns once the facility is live
“Data Center Logistics puts that strength behind one of the most demanding build-outs of our time, and marks an important step in Aramex’s growth as a global logistics company,” commented Amadou Diallo, Group Chief Executive Officer, Aramex.
