Products

At A-Z Cargo (Import & Export) & General Merchant Limited, we pride ourselves on offering specialized logistics and merchant services across the full spectrum of the United Kingdom’s most significant export commodities. Built upon more than fifteen years of experience—since our incorporation on 18 June 2009 in London—we understand that each product category poses unique challenges, from regulatory compliance and handling requirements to packaging, transport modes, and customs intricacies. Below is an in-depth overview of the ten core product lines we manage. Each category links to its own dedicated page for exhaustive details on our capabilities, case studies, and tailored service offerings

Mechanical Power Generators

The worldwide market for industrial power generators—comprising gas turbines, steam turbines, diesel and gas piston engines—was valued at over USD 28 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% through 2030. Demand is driven by expansions in power generation capacity across emerging economies (notably in Africa and Southeast Asia), plus a retrofit wave in developed markets seeking higher efficiency and lower emissions.

Regulatory & Compliance Requirements

Machinery exports in this sector must meet stringent documentation and technical standards.

  • Export Controls: ECJU licences required for dual-use technologies.
  • Emissions Certification: EU Stage V / EPA Tier 4 standards.
  • Accurate HS Classification: Crucial for customs compliance.

Logistics & Handling Challenges

Transporting large-scale power equipment requires detailed planning and technical coordination.

  • Weight & Dimensions: Route surveys required for 50+ tonne loads.
  • Vibration Sensitivity: Engineered shock mounts for rotor protection.
  • Port Handling: SPMTs and heavy-lift coordination with certified rigging teams.

A-Z Cargo’s Tailored Solutions

  • End-to-End Project Management: Including testing, barge and inland logistics, and destination commissioning.
  • Custom Crating & Lashing: ISO 1496-compliant engineered crates and lash systems.
  • Digital Oversight: Live telematics, shock and environmental sensors for shipment integrity.

Case Study: Nigerian Power Plant Upgrade

A leading EPC contractor in Lagos needed three 15 MW gas turbines delivered within an 8-week window to meet generation targets. A-Z Cargo:

  • Secured ECJU licences within 10 days.
  • Engineered bespoke cradles and coordinated SPMT movements from workshop to Ro-Ro berth.
  • Managed barge transshipment and inland haulage to the power site.
  • Provided real-time tracking and engaged our local Lagos agent for customs clearance.

The project was delivered on time and on budget, enabling timely grid commissioning and supporting regional energy stability.
