It is my pleasure to report that Bahadir Erdil, Managing Director of LP Turkey and LP Global Projects Director, has named Basar Kandil as Deputy General Manager of LP Turkey.
This is greatly deserved as Basar is one of the best Project Logistics experts in the region. He is known and respected by all the folks who came up with him, many of who are now leaders in several of the big companies. And he knows all modes of transportation, not just “the hard stuff.” (And as Bahadir says, he knows EVERY DETAIL ?)
Basar is also a great husband and Dad (and is the opposite of Bahadir—very cool, calm, and collected. Ying and Yang. And wonderful friends. LP through and through. We are lucky to have him.
Please join me in congratulating Basar. Very proud and happy.

The Logistics Plus Project Cargo team recently transported steel structures for a worldwide leading steel manufacturer. This manufacturer completes projects for thermal power plants, hydroelectric power plants, industrial plants, refineries, chemical plants, bridges, and more. The shipment Logistics Plus handled was from the client’s factory to Aliağa port in Turkey.
Logistics Plus Global Projects Director Bahadir Erdil commented on the success of this project. “I’m happy we (Logistics Plus) were chosen to help with this project. Our global projects team has a lot of experience in the steel industry, and it showed. We completed this project timely and to our client’s exact specifications.”
The size of the two largest structures are listed below. In total, Logistics Plus transported 35 items weighing 1,000 tons.

Your cargo matters. You need to deliver every item on time and below budget to keep your project moving. With 25 years of experience in turn-key logistics projects and successfully delivering heavy-lifts around the world, we are your most suitable partner. You enjoy peace-of-mind assurance knowing that the move of every piece of cargo – from trains to cranes and turbines to transformers – is carefully planned, delivered, and completed to your exact specifications with our trademark #PassionForExcellence. Whether it is by moving a million big and small pieces to a solar farm or four massive prismatic tanks to a shipyard, we put the ‘plus‘ in logistics each and every time.
Project cargo requires precise engineering and planning for the safe transportation of over-sized and over-dimensional cargo. This was especially the case over the last month as the Logistics Plus Turkey team completed deliveries of 14 transformers to the Middle East, two locomotives to Finland, and a full charter to Egypt. Bahadir Erdil, Global Projects Director for Logistics Plus, said, “Our project cargo team continues to impress and find unique solutions that meet our client’s needs. We can’t wait to see what challenges come our way in 2021.”
These recent projects didn’t come without obstacles, however. The LP Turkey team completed mandatory assessments to verify the cargo’s weight and dimensions, completed surveys of local roads while mapping out alternate routes, and experienced sudden weather changes while transporting the cargo. “We treat each project differently,” added Bahadir. “There is never a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to these massive projects.”
Photos of these projects can be seen below.
