II. Operational Challenges & Realogistics Advantages

In this cross-border aircraft transportation project, the Realogistics team successfully resolved two major operational challenges through forward-looking perspectives and flexible emergency response capabilities, fully demonstrating our professional edge in customized logistics:

1. Ingeniously Solving Loading Challenges to Save Substantial Costs for the Client

• The Challenge: On the eve of pickup, through in-depth communication with the shipper, Realogistics learned that the origin warehouse lacked both a loading dock and the lifting equipment required to elevate the bulky aircraft parts into a standard container. Temporarily renting heavy-duty lifting equipment would have incurred prohibitive extra costs.

• The Realogistics Solution: Facing this sudden obstacle, Realogistics responded swiftly by holding an urgent project meeting with our overseas agent. Relying on our extensive experience in handling special cargo, we decisively bypassed the conventional approach of renting expensive lifting equipment. Instead, we dispatched a specialized truck capable of lowering the container directly to the ground (ground-level container operation) .

• The Realogistics Advantage: This precise alternative solution not only enabled the shipper to complete the loading process smoothly and safely, but it also directly saved the client from exorbitant equipment rental fees. This perfectly highlights Realogistics' flexibility, abundant resources, and customer-first approach in operational execution.

2. Forward-Looking Schedule Planning to Avoid High Demurrage Fees During the Spring Festival

• The Challenge: Based on the sailing schedule selected by the client, the cargo was estimated to arrive at Xingang on February 13th, which coincided exactly with the Chinese Spring Festival holiday. Holiday business closures often lead to delayed container pickups at the destination port, resulting in expensive, daily-charged container demurrage and detention fees.

• The Realogistics Solution: Upholding a proactive service philosophy, the Realogistics team took the initiative to secure an exclusive guarantee plan for extending the container Free Time at the destination port before the cargo was even dispatched.

• The Realogistics Advantage: This forward-looking measure successfully locked in ample pickup time for the client, completely eliminating the risk of extra costs caused by holiday delays. Realogistics' thoughtful, butler-style service of "anticipating client needs and addressing their urgencies" earned high recognition and praise from the client.

III. Case Summary

Throughout this cross-border light aircraft transportation project—from dispatching specialized vehicles at the origin to securing extended free time at the destination port—Realogistics has consistently remained client-oriented, providing a highly cost-effective and secure customized logistics solution.
