Europe Cargo was approached for the reception in Antwerp ex geared coaster up to barged to Fluor Terminal Frankfurt, Germany. The vessel, MV Jumbo Vision loaded in Punta Cugno, Italy and sailed from Punta Cugno port. The project consisted of 37 pieces of preassembled steel rack (858.303 mt / 14,095.695 m3), two cases of lifting equipment (2,276 mt / 6 m3) and eight pieces of lifting equipment (adjustable spreader bars / extenders: 7478 mt / 18 m3).
Europe Cargo’s supervisor reported that the cargo was loaded under deck as well as on deck. On Europe Cargo’s instructions, the crew unlashed the chains and unwelded stoppers and D-rings upon arrival at the Antwerp port.
The cargo was unloaded at the Europe Cargo terminal with specialized and necessary stevedore lifting equipment (extenders – easily adjustable) and by two Gottwald motorized mobile cranes with capacities of 100 mt (not by ship’s gear due to outreach and storage onto the shore and two cranes instead of one due to length of the cargo).
Due to the large storage area required, MV Jumbo Vision had to shift 40 m. Europe Cargo jointly surveyed unloading operations with the receiver’s appointed surveyors. Europe Cargo also arranged customs clearance in Antwerp. After unloading, necessary repairs and cleaning of the frames was arranged and took several days. When this was completed Europe Cargo ordered and arranged loading of four barges (110 m x 45 m) for the inland transport via Rhine river to the final Frankfurt site.
Europe Cargo’s profressional expertise in the project was highly appreciated by the receivers’ engineers!

And thus starts 2010…!
This year will be a very busy year for the Global Project Logistics Network with even more travel and promotion than ever before. This year we will be attending even more exhibitions and conferences representing our membership. Expect to see you branching out from the our usual logistics events as this year we will start to see more of a focus on target industry events for such industries as oil & gas, heavy equipment, etc. There are plans in the works and you will be updated by e-mail announcements from me, web page and blog updates as well as announcements in subsequent issues of our GPLN newsletter.
I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to the calendar for our upcoming events. We will again make an appearance at the BreakBulk Asia Conference & Exhibition. This is the second event of its kind which is organized by the Journal of Commerce. We will have a fairly large booth there as usual with several members participating together. It is an excellent opportunity to meet the real players in Southeast Asia who are working daily in the oil & gas, mining and heavy industry fields. We had very good results from last year’s event and expect to continue this run in 2010.
A few weeks later we will be at the 4th Indian Ocean Ports & Logistics Conference & Exhibition in Mauritius. With this event we hope to target companies that would be in the eastern coasts of Africa, southern Arabian Peninsula as well as Sri Lanka and other nations in the Indian Ocean. The membership as a whole could benefit from qualified members in this region.
Then come the biggies…
I hope that all of you are getting prepared for our event of the year in Brazil! We have organized a large GPLN booth at Intermodal South America in São Paulo. This is one of the three logistics events biggest events in the world (along with TransRussia and Transportlogistic, which we also take part in) and this show is by far the largest event in all of Latin America. We have conveniently arranged our own GPLN global meeting this year to be three days after the Intermodal South America event. For project cargo specialists this is a huge opportunity to make inroads into Latin America as well as to meet our new members and to visit with our older members all on one trip. The details for the GPLN meeting can be found on our events page on our website. I urge you all to have a look at this as soon as possible due to the fact that we will have a limited number of rooms available at the negotiated price. So be ahead of the eight ball on this.
Finally, I want to remind you all to check our blog, Project Cargo Logistics, on a regular basis for what’s going on with our group. There are lots of photos and updates from GPLN and our membership that you might find interesting. The blog can be found at: http://ProjectCargoLogistics.gpln.net. It would be great as well if you feel like making comments and sharing our blog with others. It is excellent promotion for the group.
Best regards,
Gary Dale Cearley
Executive Director

Progressive shipping lines have started to increase efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions using innovative low carbon technologies.
The Carbon War Room is able to play a key role in bringing together this low carbon shipping “eco-system” as they are an independent body whose sole focus is on the delivery of a low carbon shipping economy.
On December 16th, 2009, an event took place in Copenhagen that forms part of Carbon War Room’s operation in shipping, designed to convene all stakeholders in the industry; shippers, large customers, port authorities and technology companies, around specific market-based solutions. This includes involving all the key players required and putting together sometimes-unlikely partnerships to improve economic and environmental performance.
WWL is very proud to have been part of this event that took place on December 16 in Copenhagen. The Carbon War Room’s founder Sir Richard Branson, chairman José Maria Figueres, Maersk CEO Nils S. Andersen and Arild B. Iversen, CEO of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics all showcased how progressive shipping lines have started to increase efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions using innovative low carbon technologies.
