The Logistics Plus (LP) Thailand team successfully transported two catamarans from Laem Chabang, Thailand, to Koror, Palau. At the start of the project, the LP Thailand team struggled to find a carrier that would accept the overlength and over-dimensional catamarans (12.22 L x 3.31 W x 4.21 H meters). The carriers didn’t understand that the bow (front of the boat) was curved, allowing the ISO lifting points to be clear for lifting without touching the catamarans.
After the LP Thailand team presented their idea to the client and shipping lines, the catamarans were approved to move on flat racks. A supervisor was on-site at each location to monitor the loading and discharge of the catamarans.
Logistics Plus proudly donated a plaque to the Erie Sports Center to honor and remember our good friend, Dan Lynch. We want to thank Troy Bingham (Owner of Erie Sports Center) for the opportunity, Jason Mumford (Artist) for the design, and Dan Zack and Doug Berlin (friends of Logistics Plus) for their input.
For those who didn’t know Dan Lynch, Logistics Plus Founder & CEO Jim Berlin shared the message below about what Dan meant to him and the company.
“Dan was the guy who gave LP our start by giving Fred, Bonnie, and myself the opportunity at GE way back in 1996 when he was GE Transportation’s Traffic Manager. Since Dan was a big baseball fan and an Erie guy who always looked to better his community, we thought this plaque was a small yet fitting way to honor him. Dan was a wonderful guy and friend who knew every zip code in America, every carrier and trucking company, and even how many miles a route was without looking it up. Encyclopedic knowledge. A trucking Google before Google 😀. And more importantly, Dan was also the guy who gave us our small start–a one-year purchase order that has led to who/where we are today. I know he’d be proud. Without Dan, there is no Logistics Plus. So, in a very meaningful way, he has impacted ALL of our lives. So, here’s to Dan. Greatly missed. But never forgotten!” – JB
Logistics Plus was once again a proud sponsor of the NDIA Swing for Freedom Golf Invitational held in Leesburg, VA. The annual golf outing is hosted by the Washington, D.C. Chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) and benefits the USO-Metro. Since 1941, the United Service Organization has served as a vital bridge between Americans and their military service members.
As seen in the image below (from L-R), Blaine Kurtz, Mike Callan, Pat Steele, and Tyler Dangel represented Logistics Plus in the outing. Although they didn’t win, the team shot an impressive ten under par. More importantly, a great time was had to support this vital cause.

Logistics Plus is pleased to offer a Fast-Boat shipping service as a viable air freight alternative for importers needing to get their critical shipments from China. By maintaining LOFO (last on, first off) contracts with major ocean lines, Logistics Plus can provide importers with expedited customs clearance, transloading at our Los Angeles facility, and final delivery to any location in the United States.
Please note that our Fast-Boat shipping service is only available from Shanghai and Ningbo to the port of Los Angeles. Traditionally, this service is for full containers only. However, if you have LCL (less-than-container load) needs, our imports team can help coordinate consolidations out of Shanghai/Ningbo for the same service.
Now more than ever, our Fast-Boat service can assist customers in getting their containers to the East Coast promptly by avoiding the ongoing bottlenecks at the Panama Canal.
Importers interested in learning more about our Fast-Boat shipping solutions are encouraged to email imports@logisticsplus.com.
