MIQ Logistics, a leading provider of global logistics,transportation and distribution services, recently showed its expertise by handling a difficult project cargo at Mumbai Port and facilitating its delivery ahead of time to Italy. The shipment, a single piece generator weighing 66 tonnes, along with accessories, had been lying at Mumbai Port since a month as shipping lines were refusing to load it because it did not have secure points.
