The Logistics Plus Saudi Arabia team successfully handled a break bulk shipment from the Czech Republic to Saudi Arabia. The shipment moved on a door-to-door basis from the supplier in the Czech Republic to an oil refinery plant in Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The two crates, weighing a combined 71 tons, were transported on a RORO vessel to Jeddah. Upon arrival at the port, the team cleared customs and loaded them on a truck for final delivery.
Logistics Plus Saudi Arabia Country Head Nizam Mohammad commented on the project. “Our team was able to execute every leg of this project successfully. The pickup, loading, customs, and delivery of the shipment all went smoothly. I want to thank our team and partners for their support.”

Meet Clinton Barendse
Clinton Barendse
Clinton Barendse is the Director of LP South Africa. Clinton completed his first IT diploma (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) in 2000 at the age of 19. He then left South Africa to start his career in the UK as a junior field engineer that same year. Twenty years later, after moving to multiple countries and holding various positions, Clinton joined Logistics Plus to open up a South Africa office. Clinton said, “To deliver a competitive and reliable service, we need to take a global approach by removing the ‘smoke and mirrors.’ Adding this new office and having boots on the ground in some of the most complex countries enables us to take control of the entire shipping process from start to finish.”
Clinton also shared the following about himself:
I’m a highly motivated and dedicated person. NO does not exist to me. I will always try to find a solution.
I enjoy the outdoors. Camping, fishing, hunting, and various sports (mostly golf and karate).
I am a dad and acting step-dad to four incredible children. I would not be able to do what I do if it wasn’t for my amazing ‘other half.’
As a fan of sports and community involvement, Clinton opted to sponsor a local kids’ rugby team. The primary schools in his province are currently hosting multiple rugby events, which more than 20 schools attend. Clinton noted that it was important for LP South Africa to get involved in the community to support the kids and spread the word about our new office.
Please email clinton.barendse@logisticsplus.com for any South African supply chain needs. We thank you for all current business and future opportunities, and we look forward to assisting you.
