Case Study: Large Oil and Energy Company achieves cost savings and on-time delivery with Expeditors

Large Oil and Energy Company - Customer Case Study

A large Oil and Energy Company contacted Expeditors’ Houston office to move a massive Telescopic Joint (TJ) to Korea for installation on an oil platform. The shipment presented major challenges due to its extreme size and weight, tight delivery schedule, limited ocean and air-charter options, and road transport constraints.

Expeditors responded with a creative, cost-effective door-to-door project cargo solution using commercial airfreight, supported by dedicated trucking and barge services for final delivery. Expeditors coordinated closely with airlines, Boeing engineers, and its Pusan team to complete the move, saving the customer approximately $250,000 versus an air-charter alternative while meeting the required production schedule.
