Here are some great photographs, as always, from Frederik Geirnaert showcasing a couple recent logistics projects completed by the Logistics Plus Project Cargo team.
In the first project, Logistics Plus delivered a deck house unit from China to Portland in the U.S. The unit weighed 120 tonnes and measured 13 meters in length, 11 meters in width and 5 meters in height. The project team received the deck house on a barge at the supplier’s facility then shipped to Shanghai. It was loaded aboard a heavy-lift vessel in Qidong in the southeastern Jiangsu province of China and shipped on a free-on-board basis.
In another project, Logistics Plus also completed a recent breakbulk delivery of two complete Vestas V90 turbines from the Netherlands to Finland. This consignment was collected from the client’s site in Eemshaven shipped on a free out basis to Pori, Finland. The turbines weighed a total of 82 tonnes and measured 12 meters in length.

Happy New Year! I just wanted to send along some positive feedback to you regarding the support we have received in the second half of 2016 from Josh Nkomo. Josh went above and beyond on multiple occasions to help us work through issues and meet deadlines on shipments to China. He always is responsive and maintains a positive attitude, which is very helpful on urgent shipments with many particular customer requirements.
