November 01 2020 Print This Article

The Logistics Plus Europe Project Cargo team successfully delivered four liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo tanks from Shanghai, China to Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Combined, the four gas tanks have a total volume of 15,472 freight tons. The tanks are assigned for installation in the largest LNG bunker barge under construction in the United States.

“The Logistics Plus Projects team in Antwerp and Bremen performed outstandingly and displayed major commitment on behalf of our customer to guarantee the success of this complex project,” said Bremen’s Managing Director Thomas Hoelker. “Fixing the necessary combination cargo to be able to book a full charter vessel at a reasonable cost created a win-win situation for all involved parties.”

Frederik Geirnaert, Global Project Manager for Logistics Plus added, “This was a project we have been working on for over two years now. In the end, everything came together with the support of the Chinese supplier, the customer, the shipping line, and the receiving shipyard.  Even COVID-19 could not prevent this cargo from arriving just in time with smooth execution.”
