On July 16, 2025, Africa Global Logistics Congo (AGL) successfully transported and loaded a Rig Floor and a Rig Floor trailer onto a ship for an oil sector subcontractor.
Our teams, specifically trained for this type of operation, spared no effort in studying its feasibility, conducting a meticulous check-in process covering everything from suitable equipment to safety measures and operator preparation. This survey ensured a safe operation for users and personnel in charge.
With a height of 8m and a weight of 115 tons, these machines required specific equipment for transfer from the handling yard via a loading dock 1800m away, including a 10-wheel tractor with an elevated fifth wheel, as well as 4 endless sling cables with a WLL of 49T and 4 3-piece bow shackles of 55 tons each that allowed for the loading of these oversized machines onto the ship.

With our zero accident plan, safety and suitable equipment are key elements that are immediately taken into account.
