In today's competitive steel market, efficient and cost-effective transportation is crucial for success. Ferpinta, a leading European steel producer, faced this challenge head-on as it aimed to expand its geographical reach. Its high-volume steel tubes and plate bundles production demanded a logistics partner to deliver affordability and extensive coverage. Traditional road transport, while reliable, limited its cost competitiveness and loading capacity. 

We emerged as the perfect solution. By offering a multimodal transportation network, we addressed Ferpinta's specific needs and provided a strategic partnership that fostered continuous improvement. 

A multimodal approach to success 

Our multimodal transport for the industrial market offered a winning combination: 

• Road Transportation: Provided a solid foundation for domestic and short-distance deliveries. 

• Short Sea Shipping: Enabled larger loads with a 12% increase in loading capacity compared to road transport due to higher weight restrictions. 

• Mafi (Trailer-on-Ship) Solutions: A game-changer, Mafi Solutions offers a booming 320% increase in loading capacity, translating to a significant competitive advantage. 

Beyond cost savings: a collaborative partnership 

The partnership with Ferpinta went beyond cost optimization. It fostered a collaborative environment focused on continuous improvement: 

• Joint Performance Evaluations: Regular meetings during which we asses success metrics. This ensured continuous improvement in transportation performance. 

• Innovation Through Collaboration: Both companies explored new solutions together, such as expanding Mafi connections and increasing multimodal network implementation wherever possible. 

• Shared Sustainability Goals: We both prioritize environmental responsibility. Our modern fleet and partnerships with eco-conscious short sea carriers minimized Ferpinta's overall CO2 footprint, aligning with their sustainability initiatives. 

Measurable success and a look towards the future 

The partnership's impact is undeniable: 

• Cost Reduction: our multimodal solutions allowed Ferpinta to maintain competitive product pricing. 

• Increased Efficiency: Mafi solutions and short sea shipping maximized loading capacity and delivery efficiency by 320% and 12%, respectively. 

• Market Expansion: The partnership empowered Ferpinta to reach new markets and remain competitive in faraway regions.
