Automotive Parts Shipment — Mumbai to Birmingham
The Challenge
A UK-based automotive manufacturer needed to ship 25 tons of engine components from their supplier in Pune to their assembly plant in Birmingham. The challenge was coordinating multi-modal transport (road to port, sea freight, road to factory) within a tight 18-day window, while ensuring customs clearance at both ends.
The Solution
We designed a multi-modal solution using road transport from Pune to Nhava Sheva, FCL container shipping to Felixstowe, and dedicated truck delivery to Birmingham. Our team managed all export documentation, container stuffing supervision, and coordinated with UK customs brokers for pre-clearance.
