Delivering heavy-duty infrastructure from Türkiye to Guyana

OVERVIEW

CEVA Logistics successfully managed the complex delivery of a 17-meter-long towable concrete batching plant from İzmir Kemalpaşa, Türkiye, to the Port of Georgetown, Guyana.

Our customer’s business challenges

The project faced significant hurdles due to the cargo’s "Out of Gauge" (OOG) dimensions—measuring 17 meters in length and 4.4 meters in height.

Initially, the plan relied on a specialized RORO (Roll-on/Roll-off) service via Bremerhaven, Germany, which offered only one transoceanic sailing per month. When a sudden schedule change threatened to delay the project, the CEVA team had to find a viable alternative in a market where such options are scarce. Standard European road transport was immediately ruled out, as the massive structure did not comply with regional road regulations, leaving the team with a narrow window to find a purely maritime or multimodal solution.

THE SOLUTION

CEVA’s operations team rapidly pivoted to a new routing strategy via the Port of Antwerp in Belgium.
This required a high-speed "feeder" connection: the cargo had to reach Antwerp from Türkiye within a narrow window to catch the only available connecting vessel to the Caribbean.

Through meticulous coordination, CEVA secured a RORO service that delivered the equipment to Antwerp. Our team could successfully leverage the vessel, ensuring the project remained on time. This success story underscores how operational agility can turn a critical supply chain threat into a seamless, high-performance delivery.
