Notable shipments included the relocation of lions and giant pandas for conservation efforts, the transport of koalas and golden snub-nosed monkeys, and the movement of beluga whales from Ukraine to Spain. Additionally, items like the EUTELSAT 36D satellite and orchestral instruments for a Japan tour were also shipped.
