High‑End Vehicle Shipping & Precision Lashing

Intermodal Forwarding oversaw the ocean transport of six high‑value sports cars—worth several million euros—from Barcelona, Spain, to Buenos Aires, Argentina.

• Main challenge: the cars’ extra‑wide bodies left minimal clearance inside standard containers.
• Implemented precision lashing with certified straps, high‑density rubber chocks, and locking bars to ensure zero movement over the 11,100 km voyage.
• The combined weight of 5,800 kg required reinforced dunnage and exact load‑point calculations.
• Performed manufacturer‑compliant battery disconnects to meet IMDG safety rules and prevent parasitic drain.

Outcome: flawless delivery in 17 days, vehicles arrived in showroom condition.
