Logistics Plus Receives FDA Importer Registration

Logistics Plus Receives FDA Importer Registration

FDA importerLogistics Plus Supply Chain Solutions (LPSCS) is officially a registered U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) importer. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Logistics Plus felt obligated to help fight the war against this virus by importing personal protective equipment (PPE), gowns, test kits and other medical supplies from countries around the world. In order to do so, an FDA importer license is required.

FDA Importing Overview
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for ensuring that medical devices and radiation-emitting electronic products comply with applicable U.S. regulations when offered for importation into the United States. Foreign establishments must comply with these applicable regulations before, during, and after the medical device or radiation-emitting electronic product is imported into the United States or territory. FDA does not recognize regulatory authorizations from other countries. The product must meet the applicable FDA regulation.

PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) SuppliesWe are happy to announce that our first shipment of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) supplies will be arriving in Erie, PA this weekend, where they will be warehoused and distributed as needed. Thanks to the MANY Logistics Plus employees all over the world who helped make this happen (too many to mention).

Logistics Plus, as usual, is taking the initiative of finding, procuring, shipping, and providing needed equipment to our front line heroes in the hospitals, care centers, nursing homes, fire departments, police departments and schools throughout PA (and elsewhere). Proud of our entire team!

PPE items can be ordered on the following website: http://covid.www.logisticsplus.com/

ANYONE ANYWHERE can order these critical supplies from us.  Since these items are getting very difficult to procure, please share or forward this website to your contacts as well so they know, and so that we might help in their cities too.

Thanks, all. Stay safe. Stay strong.

Onward (even though the road is tough),

Logistics Plus Assists in Building the First FSRU Vessel in China

Logistics Plus Assists in Building the First FSRU Vessel in China

The Logistics Plus China and Belgium project cargo teams assisted with building the first ever floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) vessel in China. The transport involved shipping 3 regasification modules; the largest one measuring 20 x 10.5 x 14.5 meters and weighing 425 metric tons. These modules were transported from the production facility to the shipyard in China where they were being installed. Logistics Plus provided project management services to design the transport plan, provide oversight, and share the necessary information with all parties involved in this operation.

As a side note, Global Project Manager Frederik Geirnaert would normally attend such an operation. As a result of coronavirus (COVID-19), Frederik was forced to oversee the operation virtually using a direct video link provided by the nominated Marine Warranty Surveyor. Logistics Plus would like to thank all of our partners as this operation would not be possible without their support.
