NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Almaty, Kazakhstan, 2009/05/07 - Multi-modal solutions provider Globalink Logisitcs Group, with an office network within and servicing Central Asia and the CIS, is well used to designing specific ‘horses for courses’ to meet the diverse logistics needs of its clients.

Globalink president and CEO, Siddique Khan, said two very different cargos, thoroughbred horses and Hummer military vehicles, required detailed planning to ensure successful delivery that met the needs of the customer.
“We believe that the Globalink team has the experience and capabilities to meet any logistics challenge even those that many others would consider very challenging,” Mr Khan said.

Recently, Globalink came bearing gifts for the Emir of Qatar from the President of Tajikistan. Tajikistan is well known in the equestrian world for breeding fine horses for both work and sport, and the gift of two high-spirited thoroughbred race horses was transported to their new home by a specially chartered Ilyushin 76 long-range air freighter.
Mr Khan said that Globalink’s Dushanbe office completed all export formalities including the required veterinary certificates and provided a groom to accompany the horses on the long flight.
Meanwhile, Globalink’s Kabul office, on behalf of the Portugal International Security Assistance Force, has also completed an unusual cargo of a different kind – this time to Afghanistan.

Globalink’s Kabul office delivered a shipment of Hummer military vehicles from the Army base camp to Kabul Airport. This was only the first leg and possibly one of the hardest given the current military activities in the area. Globalink arranged for forklifts and cranes needed for the loading and subsequent lashing onto low bed trailers. Additionally, a police/army escort was arranged for the trek to Kabul Airport. All this was done throughout the night as part of a comprehensive security plan.

Upon arrival at Kabul Airport, the chartered Ilyushin 76 was already in place and off loading from trailers to the aircraft took place in record time. Mr Khan said that Globalink staff were always present with the cargo every step of the way to ensure safe and timely shipment.
