Logistics Plus global project manager, Frederik Geirnaert, recently shared another snippet regarding a large, project cargo shipment that he and the Logistics Plus Belgium team are coordinating. After months of intensive preparation and transport engineering, four (4) empty gas tanks were transferred by barge from their storage location to the load out terminal in Ulsan, South Korea. This is the first step in a move that will see these tanks being loaded to a heavy-lift vessel later this month for shipment to Portland, Oregon in the USA.
What makes this move quite special is, of course, the size and weight of the tanks. Each tank is about 95 feet long (29 meters), 75 feet wide (23 meters) and 53 feet high (16 meters); and each tank weighs 2,235,500 pounds (1,014 metric tons)! Now that’s a big shipment!
