International Satellite Solution
CLIENTMoving oversized high-value equipment across continents for a leading satellite communications provider required a multi-modal international transportation solution. Extensive customs and compliance processes, and cross-functional stakeholder communication ensured installation readiness without disrupting global communications.
THE CHALLENGE
Moving oversized satellite equipment across borders
A multi-national communications provider needed to transport oversized satellite equipment from Texas to Australia to support a time-critical installation. The shipment was synchronized with the arrival of on-site field technicians and any delays risked program setbacks and potential disruption to global communications services.
The move also involved managing Duty Delivery Paid (DDP) requirements and complex international customs processes, needing full documentation and coordination across multiple regulatory jurisdictions.
THE SOLUTION
International transport aligned to meet mandatory program schedules
ICAT designed a multi-modal solution to move the oversized equipment internationally while aligning delivery precisely with the field technician team’s arrival onsite. The team managed all transportation planning, DDP requirements, and customs coordination, while maintaining constant communication with the client throughout the shipment lifecycle.
By controlling each handoff—from oversized freight handling to international transit and final delivery—ICAT ensured timing, visibility, and execution remained aligned at every stage.
THE RESULTS
On-time delivery enables uninterrupted communications
The satellite equipment arrived on site on-schedule. The field technicians received clear communications and began installation immediately, keeping the broader project on schedule.
ICAT’s end-to-end logistics management avoided delays, protected the oversized cargo throughout international transit, allowed the client to provide uninterrupted global communications to their customers.
