Background

Delta Global Solutions coordinated the international transportation of two sea lions (male and female) and two fur seals (male and female) from Tashkent, Uzbekistan to Chisinau, Moldova (RMO) on 19 July 2025. The shipment was commissioned by Zoomir Plus and Ecocenter, with the animals destined for the Odessa Dolphinarium and Nerum LLC. Transporting marine mammals by air freight involves complex requirements in terms of animal welfare, temperature control, documentation and international regulatory compliance such as IATA LAR.

Challenge: Ensuring Animal Welfare During High-Temperature Conditions

Transporting marine mammals in summer conditions presents unique challenges. Sea lions and fur seals are extremely sensitive to heat and stress, requiring:


  • Minimal exposure to direct sunlight during airport handling

  • Continuous hydration and cooling

  • Expedited processing and loading to reduce waiting time

  • Precise coordination to avoid shipment delays

  • Specially engineered crates with marine-grade materials, ventilation systems and internal padding to ensure maximum comfort and containment integrity


Without a fast, climate-controlled solution, the animals’ health could have been at risk, and the delivery compromised. Equally critical to the success of this transport was the involvement of our IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR) certified specialists, whose expertise ensured full compliance with international standards and best practices for humane and safe handling. Their presence on-site enabled seamless coordination, real-time decision-making and continuous welfare monitoring throughout the whole supply chain.

Solution: Air Cargo Charter Service for Seamless Live Animals Shipping

Delta Global Solutions arranged a dedicated charter flight operated by MyWay Airlines using a Boeing 737 freighter and executed every step in full compliance with IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR). Here’s how we did it:


  • Arrival and preparation: Animals were transferred to Tashkent International Airport (TAS) on 19 July 2025 in custom-designed crates built for marine species.

  • Heat management: Throughout the entire transportation, animals were regularly hydrated, sprayed with water and housed in a temperature-controlled, shaded holding area to reduce stress and heat impact.

  • Efficient documentation: Export paperwork and customs clearance were completed without delay, ensuring timely release and boarding.

  • Safe loading: The crates were carefully secured to pallets and professionally loaded onto the aircraft with close supervision by IATA LAR-trained personnel.

  • Continuous oversight: Our team remained present at every stage of the operation to monitor handling, communicate with airline crews and guarantee animal welfare throughout.
