Frequently asked questions
What does ISCOTRANS Middle East do?
ISCOTRANS Middle East is the Abu Dhabi company of the ISCOTRANS group, an Italian freight forwarder founded in Genova in 1976. We plan and manage project cargo, heavy lift, breakbulk and freight forwarding for EPC contractors and energy operators in the UAE and the Gulf.
What kind of cargo do you handle?
Out-of-gauge and super-heavy units such as reactors, columns, transformers, skids and modules, plus breakbulk and standard FCL, LCL and air shipments between Europe, Africa and the Gulf.
Do you handle customs clearance and inland transport in the UAE?
Yes. Our Abu Dhabi team manages import, export and transit clearance, permits and escorts, and trailer and low-bed transport across the Emirates.
What makes your approach different?
Transport engineering is done in-house before the cargo moves: lift plans, stowage, lashing and sea-fastening. One project manager is accountable for the whole chain, from factory to foundation.
How do I request a quote?
Send dimensions, weights, origin and destination through the contact form or by email. A project manager replies with a transport plan and a quotation.
