Event Logistics by Clarion Shipping 

Bringing an event to life is a feat of careful planning, efficient execution, and logistical expertise. At Clarion Shipping, we specialize in delivering event logistics solutions that ensure your event runs seamlessly from start to finish. Whether you’re hosting a high-profile concert, a global sporting event, or a corporate gala, our tailored services cater to your unique requirements. With decades of experience, we have established ourselves as a leader in event logistics in UAE, event logistics in Dubai, and across the GCC and beyond. 

Transforming Venues Globally 

When it comes to global event logistics, we’ve tackled some of the most complex and ambitious projects imaginable. For instance, a baseball stadium successfully transformed in the USA into a state-of-the-art cricket venue by transporting a cricket pitch and specialized grass all the way from Australia. This project showcases the ability to handle large-scale, highly technical tasks with precision. 

In 2024, our team was instrumental in supporting a prestigious event in Azerbaijan, further cementing our expertise in event logistics in Europe. Whether it’s moving intricate staging equipment, managing large-scale transportation, or navigating customs clearance, we thrive on challenges and deliver solutions that exceed expectations. 

Expertise in Temporary Export Solutions 

Temporary export services are a critical component of event supply chain management, especially for international events. One standout example was our work with a Linkin Park concert in Saudi Arabia. By leveraging temporary export solutions, we enabled significant savings on duty and VAT taxes, demonstrating our expertise in cost-effective logistics strategies. 

Our temporary export services include: 

  • Managing the temporary movement of equipment across borders. 
  • Ensuring compliance with customs regulations to prevent delays. 
  • Facilitating the safe and timely return of materials post-event. 

These solutions not only reduce costs but also ensure a hassle-free experience for clients, making us a preferred partner for event logistics in GCC and other regions.

For international events, temporary exports provide a cost-effective way to transport goods without incurring unnecessary taxes or duties. This solution is ideal for event organizers who need to move equipment for a limited time. Here’s how we simplify the process:

  • Flexible Timeframes: Our logistics plans are tailored to your event schedule, ensuring timely delivery and retrieval of materials. 
  • Secure Returns: After the event, we manage the safe return of all exported items, ensuring they are delivered back in pristine condition.
