At this historic event, three images of deep devotional and heritage value —the Cristo de la Expiración 'El Cachorro' (Seville), the Virgen de la Esperanza (Málaga) and the Nazareno (León)— processed through the areas around the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus before thousands of worshippers and spectators from around the world.
An operation of this scale required complex logistics and exceptional security. For this reason, the renowned multinational DSV, one of the global leaders in transport and logistics solutions, was the company responsible for managing the international transport of the images. With a presence in more than 80 countries and a solid network of more than 25 offices strategically located across Spain, DSV took on the responsibility of coordinating the entire logistical deployment with its characteristic rigor and expertise.
Loomis, a guarantee of specialized protection
To ensure the integrity of these unique pieces throughout the entire journey —from their departure from Spain to their return, including their stay in the Eternal City—, DSV chose to trust Loomis as the expert company in escort and protection.
Our work involves protecting high-value assets with absolute reliability, adapting to each setting and specific need. That's why we deployed a comprehensive security operation to accompany and protect this historic transfer, in close collaboration with DSV's logistics teams.
From the very first moment, our units and professionals specialized in international operational security were responsible for designing and implementing a comprehensive, discreet and highly effective escort, adapted to the cultural context and institutional setting of the event.
A perfect pairing: logistics and security
Thanks to the flawless coordination between DSV and Loomis, the mission was carried out without incident, respecting both handling protocols and the demanding delivery times set by the Jubilee organizers. The combination of DSV's global operational capacity with Loomis' expertise in protecting cultural and religious valuables ensured the images arrived in perfect condition and under continuous protection.
This kind of collaboration shows how, when two leaders from complementary sectors join forces, it is possible to reach a level of operational excellence that goes beyond the ordinary.
A mission for the history books
The Jubilee of Confraternities was not only an expression of faith and tradition, but also an example of how intangible heritage can travel safely and respectfully thanks to the coordinated work of responsible companies. For Loomis, taking part in this operation was not only a technical challenge, but also a way of putting our resources at the service of a cause that unites millions of people through devotion, culture and respect for one's roots.
As experts in security and protection, we remain firmly committed to our purpose: protecting what has value, whether material, symbolic or spiritual.
