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!

- 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 adhered strictly to job site HSE regulations, which is a rare feat in China
