How we handled the client brief

Client
Private owner relocating from the United States to Georgia
Objective
Safely deliver a personal 2022 BMW X5 Hybrid from a private parking area in San Diego to Poti.
Key considerations
The client requested additional full cargo insurance. The vehicle was protected with a cover and secured inside a consolidated container; a substantial force-majeure delay occurred at Ambarli after an earthquake.
Outcome
The vehicle was delivered to Poti, where the client collected it independently on transit plates. A minor scratch was later compensated under the cargo insurance. The actual delivery time was 61 days.

Route in detail

How the project was handled

  1. Private parking area, San Diego

    We accepted the pre-owned 2022 BMW X5 Hybrid with about 90,000 km and completed a full photographic condition record.

  2. San Diego → Los Angeles

    We moved the vehicle by car transporter to the Los Angeles terminal for the ocean shipment.

  3. Consolidation in a 40-foot container

    We selected a shared container to reduce the client's shipping costs, protected the BMW with a cover and secured it. At the owner's request, we arranged additional full cargo insurance.

  4. Los Angeles → Ambarli

    We arranged the ocean container leg. A substantial delay occurred at Ambarli in Türkiye because of force majeure connected with an earthquake.

  5. Ambarli → Poti

    After the delay, we continued the container shipment to Poti, the final point of our responsibility for the vehicle.

  6. Handover in Poti

    The client collected the BMW independently on transit plates. Customs clearance and registration were outside our scope. A minor scratch was compensated under the cargo insurance; delivery took 61 days.
