Altius offers new and exclusive regular groupage services from Vigo to Puerto Madryn and to Puerto Deseado in Patagonia (Argentina).

Whereas up to now this route was only available to full container load (FCL) shipments; thanks to Altius it is possible, from now on, to ship spare parts, supplies and any other type of merchandise without the need to contract FCLs.

We have all the necessary tools, since we own premises and warehouses both in Vigo and in Argentina, and our Customs Service Department provides our customers with specialized services to facilitate customs procedures between Vigo and Patagonia.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for any further information.

The RORO department at Altius continues to grow thanks to our clients’ trust and to the quality services rendered. As a matter of fact, not only have our services increased concerning both our domestic and international clients, but we have also gained new ones, as we provide logistics solutions for both project cargo and RORO cargo, for either new or used equipment.

During this past year Altius transported more than 500 equipment units in this fashion, ranging from 16 T to 120 T, and involving a wide variety of cargo (diggers, bulldozers, dumper trucks and articulated dumpers, graders, road construction equipment, mobile cranes, buses, trucks, ambulances, etc.).

It has all been possible thanks to the great dedication of a specific department in charge of this type of cargo, as well as operational support and high stringency standards required of different suppliers, resulting in a high quality service provided to our clients at all times.

With the implementation of the new Union Customs Code (CAU) of May 1^st 2016, a re-evaluation of all existing Authorizations and Certificates became necessary. Among these evaluations is the OEA (Authorized Economic Operator) certificate which is vital for us in performing our activity.

This re-evaluation demands higher standards, and the criteria to satisfy are stricter than in previous evaluations.

ALTIUS already holds this status since 2010, being one of the first companies to obtain it. On last May 14^th 2019, the IRS notified us to inform us that we have successfully passed the re-evaluation process for the OEA Certificate. Thus now we are recognized as a trustworthy operator in the logistics chain, after 14 months of assessments and audits in all our premises.

Jose Dacosta, in charge of OEA at ALTIUS, declares that this re-evaluation was possible thanks to both the degree of involvement of our General Management, aware of how important it is for our company to hold said certificate, and of all our employees in each and every department in all our premises at ALTIUS.

ALTIUS coordinated loading operations of an effluent exchanger (L x W x H: 20.28 x 5.51 x 5.46 m // 232 T) and remaining accessories for Ras-Tanura project. The equipment was transported at night, from shipper facilities to the port of Tarragona. Once at the dock, equipment was positioned alongside the vessel using a hydraulic trailer and the following day it was loaded on board using vessel’s cranes in tandem. The vessel successfully departed from Tarragona port (Spain) towards Jubail, Saudi Arabia (KSA). The whole operation (including local transportation in Tarragona, port operations and sea transport) was carried out by ALTIUS.
