Move One moving to Afghanistan

May 04 | 2012

Move One has recently begun a sizeable project to ship over 2,000 pallets to locations throughout Afghanistan.

The shipments will travel by a mix of rail, truck, and sea transport from Port Batummi in Georgia to various sites in Afghanistan. The pallets, which include food trays, paper cups, paper plates, etc., are expected to reach their destinations by early March.


Move One will make use of Batummi port to handle cargo arriving from Hong Kong, India, and Turkey to be transited through Georgia and neighboring countries. “From Batummi, we will send the cargo to Baku, Azerbaijan by rail and onwards to Aktau in Kazakhstan by sea. Rail is then used again from Aktau to Termez Uzbekistan,” explained Miklos Papp, Move One’s Warehouse Supervisor. “Finally, the cargo will be delivered to different locations in Afghanistan by truck after transiting the Hairaton border.”

The significant volumes being shipped on this tried and tested route indicate the confidence in Move One’s ability to complete these large scale projects. “We are excited to be a part of this complex logistical project,” added Miklos. “Throughout the project 80 to 100 rail wagons will be used and 80 to 100 trucks.”

Move One has been active in Central Asia for years, taking a key role in numerous projects and providing logistics support to a wide-range of clientele. Through its offices in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, Move One successfully tackles the challenges posed by even the most complex and exacting project.  The company’s cultural and geographical understanding of the area, combined with extensive experience of local rules and regulations, ensures that it can perform any logistical task on schedule and on time, despite the ever changing requirements within the region, including project cargo and the handling of heavy and over-sized cargo.
