PCN Annual Summit Delivered Real Opportunities
12th May 2026
During the PCN 15th Anniversary Celebrations in London, Gurpreet Ghattora from Progressive Cargo and Annette Odtallah from DAKO Worldwide Transport connected and shaped a clear plan for transporting two laminar cooling tanks.
Each cooling tank measures 16.15 x 5.20 x 4.16m and they were shipped from Vietnam to the USA East Coast. The breakbulk cargo was moved to the Port of Norfolk using a CMA CGM container service with the weekly sailing schedule allowing for short notice adjustments. The onward transport to the final destination of Ohio was also executed smoothly and without issue. Furthermore, another PCN member, VN Projects expertly handled the cargo in Vietnam from the factory to POL.
DAKO Worldwide Transport comments; "Credit to Project Cargo Network! It brings together experienced operators, gives them a setting to connect directly, and turns those conversations into real-world execution. This project is a simple example of that one discussion, followed by coordinated action, and a result that stayed on track from planning through to delivery. It was a real pleasure working with Gurpreet and Progressive Cargo. A clean execution with steady coordination!"
