CLIENT TESTIMONY | INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURER
case study
OVERVIEW
A European industrial manufacturer required the seamless transport of five oversized press machines from Italy to Ohio, USA. With unit weights ranging from 66,138 lbs. to 336,205 lbs., and all five machines needing to ship on the same vessel, the project demanded meticulous coordination across multiple transport modes. Green Worldwide Shipping® (Green) designed a tailored intercoastal freight strategy to optimize transit efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure the secure, on-time arrival of the shipment.
THE SOLUTION
Green’s hands-on project oversight was instrumental in ensuring smooth cargo handling and immediate issue resolution. Despite careful preparation, fluctuating water levels at the Kansas discharge port caused an unexpected four-week barge transit delay. Green’s team swiftly adjusted the timeline, leveraging real-time coordination and contingency planning to keep the project on track—ultimately delivering the shipment ahead of schedule.
Hands-On Oversight
Green provided direct on-site oversight at every transloading point, ensuring precise handling of oversized cargo while addressing potential challenges to prevent delays.
Intercoastal Transport

Cost Savings & Efficiency
Green’s intercoastal plan minimized handling fees and per-mile transport costs, reducing transfer risks while ensuring seamless, cost-effective delivery.
Sustainability Impact
Barge transport lowered per-ton-mile emissions, reducing the project’s carbon footprint while also alleviating highway congestion.
