Starting today, Jim’s younger brother Doug will be the author and the editor and chief of all Social Media for Logistics Plus. As a retired postal worker, Logistics Plus felt that no one was more qualified to deliver the message more so than Doug. Now, if we can just get him to deliver it to the right address we will be on to something. Welcome aboard Doug!

eShipPlus Before and After
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
Jim Berlin, CEO of Logistics Plus, will speak about “Entrepreneurship and Leadership in Logistics” at the MIT in Boston on April 12, 2012, 11:30 am – 2:00 pm.
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!
