Import logistics for components for solar installations

We facilitated for our client the delivery under DAP terms of 122 containers from China and Spain, and 17,500 tons with structures in Breakbulk mode for the construction of the Guayepo solar park, the largest photovoltaic installation in the country, thanks to our solar logistics team.

How we managed the logistics for the import of 122 containers of components for solar installations

We coordinated 122 containers and 17,500 tons as Breakbulk cargo. From origin Valencia to destination Cartagena and from origin Shanghai to destination Barranquilla. We handled the maritime transport, and subsequently, from Cartagena/Barranquilla to the Guayepo Project, in the municipality of Ponedera, Atlántico, we coordinated the road transport.

International maritime transport was carried out in collaboration with our solar logistics teams in China and Spain. Meanwhile, the Colombia team was responsible for the road transport, a fundamental factor as it allowed us to work closely with local authorities and comply with all current regulations and permits. Additionally, the volume of the operation exceeded 230 TEUs, which underwent ITR and storage in the Free Trade Zone for Cartagena – Barranquilla.

Benefits achieved by our client in the logistics for solar trackers

• Timely information on cargo traceability from origin to destination.
• Engagement with local and departmental traffic and transport authorities for project briefing and obtaining the required permits.
• Storage alternatives to minimize costs.
• Dedicated staff with experience in solar project logistics assigned exclusively to the project.

The Guayepo solar park, located in the municipalities of Ponedera and Sabanalarga, in Atlántico, is the largest construction project in Colombia and, once completed, will have an installed capacity of 486.7 MWdc, thanks to its more than 820,600 solar panels distributed across 69 subfields. Once completed, the project will surpass the La Loma plant (187 MWdc), a project in which we also participated in the logistics chain, thus becoming the largest photovoltaic plant in the country.
