Moving Freight Wherever the Wind Blows…

Recently, Manish Khanduja who works in our New Delhi, India office handled this shipment of a windmill nacelle and hub.  The nacelle’s weight is 75 metric tons each and the hub weight is 26 metric tons each.  These we moved via truck from Himachal Pradesh, India to Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, India, which is a distance of approximately 1200 kilometers.

1 Million Pounds!

LP Erie has just completed loading of a large break bulk ocean shipment in Port Newark, NJ. Pictured are the largest two units: 305,000# and 142,000#. Also shipped were eight other large pieces, plus three containers. Total weight, a little less than a million pounds!

Matt Bosko was responsible for coordinating everything among the customer, port authority, trucking companies, export packers, steamship captain, stevedores, terminal operators and surveyors.  Nice job, Matt!

Next stop: Antwerp, where Ivo and his team will assist during the transloading onto a vessel bound for Kolkata, India. There, LP India will take over and deliver the cargo to the jobsite in Paradip.

Truly a global team effort!
