On 22 August 2024, teams from Africa Global Logistics (AGL) Angola successfully exported a heavy-lift helicopter weighing over 6T to France. This helicopter conforms to the safety standards of the oil & gas sector, and is designed to transfer crews to offshore platforms.
AGL’s teams mobilised a 70-tonne crane to load it onto a special low-loader. They then ensured the safe transfer of the oversized transport to the port of Luanda, where it was loaded for its destination in Europe.
‘We have full trust in Africa Global Logistics, which has a proven track record in a series of complex operations. We didn’t want to take any risks, so entrusting them with this one was a guarantee of success,’ explains a customer representative who requests anonymity.
‘The particularity of this operation was based on the size of the helicopter and its fragility. This success confirms our commitment to delivering tailor-made logistics solutions to our customers,’ says Sébastien Urbain, Director of Operations at AGL Angola.
As a multimodal solutions operator in Angola, AGL uses its operational synergies to ensure the smooth flow of goods to and from the country. The company supports its existing customers in logistics and the development of major industrial projects (energy, telecommunications, mining, etc.).
