Bahadir Erdil
, Global Projects Director for Logistics Plus, was interviewed for a recent article that appeared in the American Journal of Transportation (AJOT). The AJOT is a media source dedicated to providing shippers, carriers, transportation intermediaries, and logistics professionals with coverage of news and events that shape the world of international trade and transportation.
The article is titled “Contingency planning key to any project move” and was written by journalist Matt Miller for the 700th issue of the AJOT. The article discusses the importance of contingency planning for project cargo moves, the heavy lift SPOT team at Logistics Plus, and the multinational nature of project moves. Here are a few highlights from each section of the article.
Contingency Planning
Two years ago, Logistics Plus executed the transport of 13 brewery tanks from Germany to Turkey, each weighing between 24 and 31 metric tons. Bahadir discusses the challenges and planning it took for this complicated operation.
The SPOT Team
The Special Project Operations & Tactics (SPOT) team is just one of the strengths at Logistics Plus. Heavy lift cargo is becoming heavier and more difficult to transport, and it requires lots of engineering and planning.
The Multinational Nature of Project Cargo
It is becoming common for heavy lift items to be built in one country and then transported to another. In order to do so, logistics providers must work with multiple shipyards and regional experts that are capable of handling this oversize cargo.
