The Logistics Plus Project Cargo Team has yet to slow down in 2020. In the past several months, our cargo experts have managed a variety of projects, including the successful deliveries of transformers, gas tanks, generators, engine sets, and more (photos are included in the short video below).
Additionally, Logistics Plus was recently selected as a Project of the Year finalist for the 2020 Heavy Lift Awards presented by Heavy Lift & Project Forwarding International (HLPI) magazine. Read the full news release here.
Recent projects handled:
LP Turkey successfully delivered 5 gas tanks to Saudi Arabia.
LP USA successfully delivered a 325,000 lb. transformer to a Texas wind farm.
LP China and Belgium assisted in building the first-ever FSRU vessel in China.
LP Germany successfully delivered 11 crates from Germany to Canada weighing 525 tons.
On behalf of our customer, the Logistics Plus Belgium team successfully delivered three generator engine sets from Finland to a shipyard in China. These generator sets measured to be 905cm long, 282 cm, wide, and 415 cm high. In total, the shipment weighed 180 tons.
In order to ensure a punctual delivery, the Belgium team cooperated with Wallenius for their brand new Wallenius-Sol service. The cargo was first transported from Vaasa to Antwerp, transhipped to the Wallenius-Eukor service for the course to China, before finally arranging it for door delivery. This is the first cargo of this size to take this route and we are delighted to reach another milestone in the cooperation between Logistics Plus and Wallenius.
Pictures from this project can be seen below.

The Logistics Plus Bremen team is proud to have successfully delivered the first shipments for the latest Siemens electricity transmission project in Iraq. In total, Logistics Plus handled 9 power transformers and accessories from the transformer factory site to the port of export.
Siemens is currently building thirteen 132/33kV substations and delivering 35 power transformers as part of their goal for the electrification of Iraq. The goal of this project is to invigorate the country’s electricity transmission and distribution network to support the community and its power grid while leading to sustainable economic development.
Pictures of the transformers and accessories can be seen below.
The Logistics Plus project cargo team completed the successful delivery of a DMU 340 G machine from Pfronten, Germany to Waterville, Canada. In order to complete this project, our team had to jump over various hurdles including the location of the job site, the dimension of the machine bed, the lack of cranes available, and the pressing deadline (4 weeks door-to-door). In total, the shipment included 11 crates that weighed a total of 545 freight tons. The largest crate held the machine bed which was 10.2 m long, 4.6 m wide, and 3.9 m high, weighing 75 tons.
Since Waterville is located 95 miles east of Montreal, the project cargo team decided that Bécancour would be the best point of delivery. Once the crates arrived in Bécancour, another challenge presented itself. Due to the Quebec road restrictions, parcels with a width over 4.4 meters were not allowed to be shipped. To accommodate this restriction, our team un-crated the machine bed to reduce the width to the legal limit.
Once the crates arrived in Waterville, our team had to offload the multi-axle truck without a crane due to the hall’s low height. To complete the offloading, Logistics Plus used hydraulic jacks that lifted the machine bed into its assigned place with ease.
