Logistics Plus Indonesia successfully completed a project for an industry leading health care manufacturer to close out 2019. The Indonesia team was responsible for the warehousing, air suspension, trucking, and positioning of an MRI machine at the Budha Tsu Chi hospital in Jakarta.
This was the final week handling this project, as the two unit MRI machines needed to be positioned by December 24th. The machines were transported using an air-ride truck before they were lifted to the fifth floor of the hospital. Congratulations to all of the Logistics Plus Project Cargo teams on a successful 2019, with more to come in 2020!

The Logistics Plus Project Cargo team completed the successful delivery of a liquid bio-gas storage tank from Turkey to job-site in Norway. The Logistics Plus Belgium and Turkey teams carefully collaborated, planned, and executed every single detail of this “recon” mission. In order to complete the delivery of this massive tank in poor weather conditions, our SPOT (Special Projects Operations & Tactics) team had to apply gravel to roads, remove gates, lift wires, and more.
The liquid bio-gas storage tank was 24m long, 5.4m wide, and 5.6m high, weighing 80 tons.

In February 2019, Patric Drewes and Sandra Dinklage visited a new client to introduce the new Logistics Plus Project GmbH team. Not long after, Logistics Plus was awarded two projects from this client, both of which were bale finishing systems weighing about 200 freight tons each. From morning to night, the Logistics Plus Project Cargo team successfully handled and delivered both projects. The two projects and some of the challenges our team faced are highlighted below:
GP-ARC7 Bale Press to Monroeville, AL:
- A fixed delivery date of August 1, 2019
- The bale press and several containers from Europe were in Shipper Owned Containers (SOC) and Carrier Owned Containers (COC)
- Major SOC’s and COC’s were loaded at the factory in Foshan, China
- The cases were not ready in time, creating a shorter time frame to reach the fixed delivery date
- Limited space on the vessels sailing from China to the U.S.
GP-Foley to Perry, FL:
- Delivery between July 29th and August 16th, 2019
- The bale press delivered to Antwerp where it was to be loaded onto the vessel
- The vessel carrier cancelled the sailing to Jacksonville, causing Logistics Plus to find a different solution (we did!)
- The cargo was shipped in COC including out of gauge (OOG)
- Consignee was unable to do a live offload and the containers had to stay on site on a chassis
Teamwork On Full Display
Both projects were coordinated by Sandra Dinklage and the Logistics Plus Project GmbH team in Bremen, Germany. The Bremen team was responsible for the coordination of all parts and the bale presses from Europe. Once coordinated, the Logistics Plus Shanghai team arranged the pre-carriage and ocean freight from the factory in China. The loading’s were arranged on weekends with full staff support. Lastly, the Logistics Plus U.S. Project Cargo team was responsible for coordinating with the clients broker, along with handling all of the drayage, trans-loading, and final deliveries of each container to site.

Bon voyage! Pieter Jan De Smedt, a very close friend of Frederik Geirnaert (global project manager for the Logistics Plus Project Cargo Division) is embarking on a one (1) year sailing adventure around the world in a Catana 401 named Vite & Rêves. The crew, a family of five, departed Lavrion, Greece late September with the intentions of ending their journey in Darwin, Australia next July.
To help the crew track its progress around the world, Logistics Plus has provided one of its Roambee global tracking devices. Now, thanks to GPS ocean tracking, the boat and crew can be followed along its route in near real-time at https://vite-et-reves.com/static/route/ as shown here:
