Logistics Plus was included in the July-August 2018 edition of Heavy Lift & Project Forwarding International (HLPFI) magazine. The article, titled A Rising Tide of Opportunities, was written by Gregory DL Morris and provides a regional report on the USA’s East Coast project cargo handling opportunities. Interview comments from Julie Shafer, business development manager for Logistics Plus, are included in the finished piece.

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. ?
The Logistics Plus Project Cargo Team has been busy this month. So far in June, and as outlined below, we have managed a variety of projects, including the successful deliveries of windmills, locomotives, and sailboats (photos included in the video below).
LP Houston safely loaded a mud pump (38 tons) from Oklahoma to Tunisia.
LP Turkey safely delivered two windmill blade moulds (each 44.50 x 5.80 x 2.50 lxwxh – Gross 28 mt) from Izmir Port to the Factory.
LP Saudi Arabia safely delivered a sailboat for Saudi Princess.
LP Turkey safely delivered 104 metric ton transformers and its accessories from Turkey to Norway.
LP safely received and delivered mobile substations (78 metric tons each) that were imported from Portugal, eventually arriving at the port of Baltimore. They were distributed to power stations around the US.
LP India successfully delivered 10 locomotives from underhook to India.
LP Belgium and Turkey successfully loaded 42 pieces of windmill towers and generators from Izmir to the Netherlands.

The Logistics Plus Belgium and Logistics Plus Turkey offices worked hard together to ship a near-full charter vessel of 10 complete windmill sets (40 sections of windmill towers and 5 windmill generators) from Izmir, Turkey to Harlingen, Netherlands. This time-lapse video has been condensed to show most of the discharge procedure in Harlingen, but at a greatly increased speed, of course. The whole operation lasted exactly 48 hours, which – for this type of project cargo shipment – is a very smooth discharge.
Logistics Plus India has completed the job of successfully handling another lot of 10 locomotives for GE Transportation that were received last week. Twenty-four (24) locomotives have now been successfully received and handled so far from a total order of 54.
