Pretty incredible, and all due to the excellent work being done by our global team of employees. All this growth has also resulted in a lot of hiring, which has been pretty amazing too. I’m proud that we’ve enabled a lot of young professionals to start their careers in a great industry with a cool company, and in a cool building (Erie’s historic union station), and to be able to stay within the region.”

The Logistics Plus Project Cargo division has been handling these wind turbine generators (5,70 x 5,70 x 2,85m, 30mt) for years and years, but we had 8 of them arriving in Antwerp, Belgium on a break bulk vessel last week and 4 more as break bulk on a container vessel over the weekend. So what do you do then? You shoot a little movie clip on how we handle those both in break bulk and on container vessels. ?
