eShipPlus Before and After
by logisticsplus | May 7, 2012 | News
Sunday April 1st (no joke).
On behalf of its customer Emergya Windmill technologies, Logistics Plus China Project division loaded 1 unit windmill generator ‘as breakbulk’ on a container vessel.
This is ‘nothing special’ as we do this type of shipment quite often.
But the special comes from the fact we loaded it on the biggest vessel in the world: Emma Maersk.
For comparison Generator (not small cargo) vs Emma Maersk
Length : 5.70m vs 397.7m
Width : 5.70m vs 56.6m
Height : 2.85m vs 47m
Weight : 30mts vs 55396mts deadweight

LP Erie has just completed loading of a large break bulk ocean shipment in Port Newark, NJ. Pictured are the largest two units: 305,000# and 142,000#. Also shipped were eight other large pieces, plus three containers. Total weight, a little less than a million pounds!
Matt Bosko was responsible for coordinating everything among the customer, port authority, trucking companies, export packers, steamship captain, stevedores, terminal operators and surveyors. Nice job, Matt!
Next stop: Antwerp, where Ivo and his team will assist during the transloading onto a vessel bound for Kolkata, India. There, LP India will take over and deliver the cargo to the jobsite in Paradip.
Truly a global team effort!

I wanted to thank you for setting us up with Doria Troian at Logistics Plus for the transport of the Ward Diecutter. From the outset, Doria was accommodating, professional, and responsive. Her information requests from me were clear, and her communication throughout the entire process was outstanding.
What was most impressive, however, was the way she handled the problems that arose. When the flat bed that arrived in Spokane, MO was too high for the loading dock, she handled the situation quickly and correctly. And when the two flatbeds failed to arrive on time at Fort Smith, Doria remained calm, did not panic, and talked the drivers all the way on to the dock. All this, while keeping my installer (and me) from jumping off the ledge and incurring additional charges from the riggers. Doria really stepped up at the critical moment.
In this day and age, where people only contact you to complain about what went wrong, I wanted you to know how much I appreciate that these shipments went right.
Jamie Pious, Executive VP, Nutmeg Container Corp.
