Showtime! Gosselin transports 40 cubic metres of musical equipment on a tight schedule

Working closely with freight forwarder Fracht Group and Interstate Moving Relocation, Gosselin successfully organised the transport of 4 pallets full of instruments and uniforms belonging to the U.S. Army Field Band.

The cargo was transported to Zurich by Interstate Moving Relocation where Gosselin customs cleared it and transported it to Basel for the Basel Tattoo performances. Following the final performance of the Basel Tattoo, the instruments were packed, secured, and shipped to Finland, where the band would perform their first event at the Hamina Tattoo International Military Music Festival less than 36 hours later.

“The airplane was already waiting for us when we arrived at the airport,” Cristian Rio from Gosselin Switzerland says. “The collaboration with Fracht Group went seamless. After the flight, we handled the customs clearances of the instruments in Finland as well and transported them to the venue. Taking part in a unique project like this was refreshingly exciting! We don’t get to do this every day”, Cristian concludes.

A big shoutout to the crew of ANTONOV Airlines, the team of Fracht Group, the adorable sniffer dog who checked all 4 pallets with the utmost professionalism, and to Interstate Moving Relocation and  the U.S. Army Field Band  for the opportunity!
