Container packing Melbourne

Hi all,
A US based friend needs to get an already disassembled light aircraft packed into a container for shipment. It is near Melbourne. Any ideas?
I am Sydney based so don't know any locals there who could do it.
Thanks,
Tankengine

Try John Walsh at Flight Safety in Moorabbin. They import regularly and will have the equipment and experience for an export.

Try Fred Parakh at BTI Logistics in Melbourne, 03 8336 9002. His outfit can ship anything from anywhere to anywhere.

That's a tricky spot, it's exactly the same distance from Moorabbin as it is Tyabb.

Edit: PM sent, I just found you someone that could help out.

Pack and ship...

Need to have a radial engine crated and shipped to the UK.

Engine is in western Sydney, I'm 2000 miles away.

Anyone have any contacts, suggested shippers.

In anticipation...thanks
