Logistics Plus Completes Difficult Project Cargo Mission

Logistics Plus Completes Difficult Project Cargo Mission

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.
