How we handled the client brief

Client
Multiple clients in Türkiye
Objective
Consolidate four vehicles for different clients in Vilnius and deliver the batch to the Istanbul customs terminal after clearance in Türkiye.
Key considerations
Clients waited until enough vehicles had been collected in Vilnius to avoid sending one- or two-car shipments. A 3-day delay occurred at the Bulgaria–Türkiye border because the border system was unavailable.
Outcome
The four vehicles arrived in very good condition. Actual delivery time was 7 days; after customs clearance in Türkiye, West Matterhorn's responsibility ended at the customs terminal in Istanbul.

How the project was handled

  1. Consolidation in Vilnius

    We collected four vehicles for different clients in Türkiye and planned the dispatch after enough vehicles had been assembled for one consolidated shipment.

  2. Inspection and preparation

    We inspected the vehicles at loading, recorded their condition and prepared the batch for transport. No additional special vehicle requirements were reported.

  3. Open car transporter

    We loaded the four vehicles onto an open car transporter and securely fastened the batch before dispatch.

  4. Vilnius → Istanbul

    We handled export formalities and prepared the CMR and T2 documents. A 3-day delay occurred at the Bulgaria–Türkiye border because the border information system was unavailable.

  5. Istanbul customs terminal

    We coordinated customs clearance in Türkiye and delivered the vehicles to the Istanbul customs terminal. The batch arrived in very good condition; actual delivery time was 7 days.
