PM International Delivers Urgent Material Via Aircraft Charter

At PM International Suppliers, we pride ourselves on quality expertise and expedited delivery. We recently had a Canadian customer who was in urgent need of some stainless steel for an offshore platform off the coast of St. John’s Newfoundland, and they couldn’t find freight options that would get it to them before their deadline. See below for the story on how we were able to deliver.

Location: Offshore Platform off the coast of St. John’s Newfoundland, Canada

Material: 301, 304 & 316 stainless steel ranging in thickness from 0.02mm to 40mm

Total Volume: 5 pallets at 7,185 pounds (3,259 kilograms)

Client reaches out to us with quote request. They need some stainless steel before the weekend. We source the material, but there is none available in stock in the US. We had some in Europe available in stock, so we quoted it out of Europe.

While there are air freight flights available to Canada, they must go through Toronto or Montreal (and sometimes Halifax), and it would have taken too long from there to get the material to St. John’s.
