CPC Coli Istanbul experiences good first quarter

More than 12 industrial projects for global clients successfully concluded.

Q1 of 2024 has started well for CPC Coli Project Cargo in Istanbul. The company contracted a continuous flow of industrial project cargo shipments. The full subsidiary of COLI Group (Germany) handled projects consisting of more than 10,000 freight tonnes, including various (heavy) lifts ranging from 35 mt to 300 mt units.

The majority of these projects were handled both outbound and inbound Turkey to various power plants located in West Europe, North Europe, Scandinavia, West Africa, East Africa, the Red Sea region, and the Persian Gulf. Transports ranged from sole charters to worldwide logistics solutions, incl. jacking and skidding services.

Can Yilbasi, Business Development Manager at CPC Coli Project Cargo, says: “Throughout the first quarter our Istanbul Team was awarded charter contracts both for gearless and geared MPP vessels. There’s one thing we are especially proud of: as some clients were very happy with the way we handled their breakbulk logistics, they decided to expand the scope of work awarded to us while the original projects were still running! Port supervision, pre-carriage road transports, crawler and mobile crane deployment, site erection services, and more. It gives us a chance to show them our full-scope abilities when it comes to oversized cargo lifting and logistics.”

With this workload and newly signed contracts in its order book – also throughout the Group – COLI is ready for the rest of the year. The company is expanding its own MPP fleet as well. More on this will be conveyed later in 2024.
