Record Delivery to South America - 25th January 2001

A leading Rugby company has just despatched its largest ever delivery to South America. Wallis Shipping Services, based in Regent Street in the town centre, has just arranged to transport thousands of tonnes of electrical and mechanical equipment for a water treatment site in Venezuela.

The enormous cargo will be loaded on to just one ship leaving the Suffolk port of Felixstowe before making its long voyage half way round the world to the South American country. The equipment was supplied by ALSTOM Power Conversion and will form a vital part in the operation of the new water treatment site in Venezuela.

Managing Director of Wallis, Stuart Gregory, said: "This is a truly exciting project for our Rugby office and the biggest ever shipment we have made to South America. I'm delighted ALSTOM Power Conversion chose to use Wallis, it shows our standing in the industry and proves we are one of Britain's leading shipping companies."

After a brief stop over in Europe the ship will head off on its long voyage to South America arriving in a few weeks' time.
