As previously reported and promised, here is an awesome new video from the Logistics Plus Project Cargo team. This video showcases yet another successful project cargo movement coordinated jointly by the LP Turkey and LP Belgium offices. For this project, Logistics Plus safely loaded a 24.2m X 5.70m X 6.00m 105-ton cryogenic gas tank for transit from Turkey to Norway.
The Logistics Plus Turkey team has been secretly busy managing some very cool project cargo work. However, thanks to a few leaked photos on LinkedIn by our own Başar Kandil and Bahadir Erdil, we’re able to share a few of those projects here:
Check out these beautiful photographs provided by the Logistics Plus (LP) Project Cargo Team. These photos are from yet another successful project cargo movement coordinated jointly by the LP Turkey and LP Belgium offices. For this project, Logistics Plus safely loaded a 24.2m X 5.70m X 6.00m 105-ton cryogenic gas tank for transit from Turkey to Norway. Tune back in soon: We’ll be sharing a video of the final delivery too!
The Logistics Plus Project Cargo Team recently completed another significant project cargo shipment. On behalf of a Fortune 500 power and energy company, and with coordination by the Logistics Plus Turkey division, we safely delivered a 200-ton stator (the stationary portion of an electric generator) from Gdynia, Poland to the Yatagan Thermal Power Plant in Mugla, Turkey. The animated image below shows the team in action on this important project; and just below that is a short video presentation.
Here’s a quick ‘play-by-play’ example of how the Logistics Plus (LP) global project cargo team springs into action when presented with a logistics challenge from one of our customers. Now that’s global project logistics teamwork!
| 26.05 | The LP Belgium office received a call from our customer to urgently send lifting lugs to Turkey (which then led to a request to ship 18 windmill tower sections from Turkey to the United Kingdom). Bahadir Erdil and Basar Kandil (from LP Turkey) happened to be in Antwerp, so it was set in motion fast. |
| 27.05 | Hilde Van De Woestyne arranged for the pick up in the Netherlands. |
| 29.05 | The lifting lugs fly from Amsterdam to Istanbul. |
| 30.05 | Basar is back in Turkey and initiates custom clearance. |
| 01.06 | Basar arranges delivery to wind tower manufacturer. |
| 06.06 | Frederik Geirnaert gets the RFQ for the shipment of 18 windmill tower sections (4100 cbm). |
| 07.06 | Bahadir spends the next few days negotiating with various carriers to find the first available ship at the best rates. |
| 09.06 | We get the order! |
| 10.06 | Mert Altinsaray arranges trucking of first pieces from supplier. He also attends load-out in-person and makes some repairs/fixes. |
| 23.06 | Mert arranges trucking for final pieces from supplier. Meanwhile Bahadir is at the Izmir port to supervise loading. |
| 24.06 | Mert and Bahadir finalize loading. Doruk Yagci finalizes the documents. |
| 05.06 | Ship arrives in Southampton, England. Frederik attends the discharging. Shipment is successfully delivered to its final destination! Had the shipment not arrived on time, the customer would have missed an important deadline – it needed to ship one set of completed towers from Southampton by July 6th at 9:00 am or they would have missed a police escort; and the next possibility for that police escort was 6 weeks later! |
If you have a project logistics challenge of your own, let us know. The LP team stands ready to help you too!
