C.H. Robinson, the leading global logistics provider, delivered a high-stakes, high-volume shipment involving crypto mining equipment from three Southeast Asian cities to the United States (U.S.). It identified over 50% in cost savings without compromising speed, delivering the shipment in under 48 hours.
An American-listed crypto mining company faced a critical shipment deadline for its 1000-ton equipment amid tightened air capacity, production delays, and impending reciprocal tariffs announced by the U.S. administration set to take effect on April 2. The volatile freight environment was further complicated by major public holidays in some origin points, potentially causing further disruptions.
Leveraging its global network and strong carrier relationships, C.H. Robinson designed and implemented a cost-efficient solution. Within hours, C.H. Robinson secured chartered flights in Bangkok, Malaysia, and Singapore despite capacity constraints and high demand.
The shipment required comprehensive planning, flexibility, precision, and synchronized real-time coordination across time zones to prevent delays.
“It’s projects like these where our scale, expertise and tailored solutions really make the difference for shippers, especially in volatile environments,” shared Vincent Wong, Airfreight Director – Asia at C.H. Robinson. “The stakes are high for businesses who are up against a ticking clock, knowing if they miss that deadline, they’re paying 50% more in transportation and duty costs. By combining our deep customer understanding with the strength of our logistics network, we delivered a solution that balanced both speed and cost-effectiveness without a single delay. This reflects our commitment to providing strategic, high-value support tailored to each customer’s needs.”
