Logistics

At FASCO SHIPPING AND LOGISTICS we take the time to get to know our customers and understand their unique requirements. This enables us to apply our industry expertise to deliver a tailor-made service.
We offer so much more than just ocean carriage. We’ve also developed a comprehensive infrastructure of road, rail and warehousing which allows us to offer fully bespoke solutions designed to match your needs.
Of course, what ties all this together and sets GTA apart is our ongoing commitment to the people we work with and the people we work for. Our strength has always been in developing close teams that want to offer the best service in the industry. Despite the size and complexity of our business, we’ve never lost sight of the need to put customers’ individual needs at the heart of everything we do.
GTA is committed to providing transport solutions that meet the diverse needs of our customers.
That’s why we have a large inventory of well-maintained specialist equipment designed to accommodate practically any cargo type and any loading or discharging environment. These cargo trailers include (but are not limited to):

Rigid: A static trailer that can be used when access is restricted.

Flatbed: A trailer with no sides, allowing for cargo that will not fit or cannot be easily loaded into a standard container. This is typically used for project or out-of-gauge cargo.

Tipper: A specialised chassis to lift the container up at one end to unload loose cargo.

Low loader: A trailer with an adjustable deck height allowing for the transportation of particularly tall or heavy cargo.

Container-lift trailer: A vehicle with equipment capable of lifting containers on and off the trailer.

Genset trailer: A purpose-built trailer with its own generating equipment designed to provide power for refrigerated containers.

Naturally, GTA also provides our customers with the necessary guidance to determine the appropriate equipment for the safe and secure transport of their cargo. Our intermodal and transport teams around the world will happy to help recommend the appropriate trailer for individual cargoes, taking into account any physical or environmental considerations at the point of loading or discharge.
Similarly, our out-of-gauge / breakbulk teams will provide the necessary expertise to arrange the transport of any oversized cargoes.
