- LP China managed to have a customer vessel berth September 27th ahead of 3 other vessels, thus avoiding the increased port charges coming into effect October 1st
- LP China managed to finish customs clearance even before cargo finally discharged, thus avoiding cargo from being stuck during the National Holiday starting October 1st
- Through careful planning, weekly meetings, and daily phone calls, LP China managed to adapt deliveries to the ever-changing needs of the job site without any waiting time or additional cost to the customer
- LP China adhered strictly to job site HSE regulations, which is a rare feat in China

“This oversized cargo passed through the port of Tarragona, Spain before it could be delivered to the final site at the Tarragona facility of Dow Chemicals. Not an easy task: we had to pass via University land, had to clear the brush…and, as the main unit was 810 CM and 500 CM height (only 20 T!), we had to lift it three times over small gates and fences in order to deliver to the client.” Well done, Ivo and the team of Logistics Plus.

On September 20th, 2011, Logistics Plus became one of more than 300 sponsors in an effort to raise money for the Flight 93 Memorial National Park in Shanksville, PA. This effort was called “Let’s Roll Ride”, in accordance with the famous phrase used by one of the heroes aboard the flight before they rose up to fight the terrorists. Multiple groups that consisted of 40 riders traveled from different towns across Pennsylvania to arrive at the site and pay their respects.
During the ride, each motorcyclist fastened a blue flag to their bike to honor the heroes. Once at the national park, riders and spectators gathered for a memorial service to honor those who had fallen that day. They had a moment of silence at specific times in correspondence with when the planes had crashed on that day. Family members of the 40 also were in attendance and said the name of their beloved ones on stage while a bell was rung for them.
We, at Logistics Plus, are proud to have participated in this event and are proud to say we will never forget those who gave their lives to protect the ones they cared most about.
