A lot of things have happened in and around GPLN Norway member, Logi Trans AS, the last year. We will update you in Logi Trans’s own Magne Eide’s own words:

We are very happy with the situation in Logi Trans. Every year in the history of Logi Trans, have resulted in a “best year ever”, so also for 2009. The turnover for 2009 exceeded for the first time NOK 100 mill – equivalent to US$ 17,8 mill. The result is up approx. 11,5% from 2008. Despite the recession, we are very optimistic for the future, and expect a continuous growth between 10 and 15% for 2010.

Logi Trans is a major participant in the Norwegian offshore market with long time relations to most vendors in the Norwegian offshore industry. We hold the existing local contracts with Seadrill / Seawell Group, Rowan Drilling, GE Oil & Gas (approved vendor). Several small and medium sized companies in the region are the base for the daily business.

We have during 2009 become an accredited IATA airfreight agent. In addition, we have started up our own consolidation service from Houston to Stavanger together with Logistics International Inc in Houston. In these days Logi Trans is also establishing a subsidiary company in Denmark.

One of the most important things amongst them all is the fact that we have become a member of the GPLN, and we hope this will give us a lot of exciting jobs in the future. We have received a lot of welcome greetings from the members, and we appreciate that. We are confident that our company will continue the development and growth and look forward to being of services to all customers that need a reliable logistics partner in Norway.

Trans International Logistiks Sdn Bhd, a GPLN member in Malaysia, recently completed the project cargo movements from Europe and Asia for the Synthetic Latex Global Plant located in Pasir Gudang, Malaysia with a total project volume of about 20,000 FRT.

As indirect tax exemption consultants for the project, we had successfully applied our expertise in submitting, tabulating and obtaining exemption approvals from the authorities. We also excelled in applying and obtaining import permits and governmental certification from regulatory bodies for the importation of their special equipments and machineries.

Other than general cargoes by sea, air and road transports, the project included movements of heavy lift cargoes of 3 reactors at 95 tons each and 3 strippers at 65 tons each and other over-dimensioned cargoes. For the heavy lifts, on-carriage to site was arranged on multi-axle trailers after temporary storage on elephant legs and beams so as to be in coordination with the plant site readiness and receiving management.

Trans International Logisiks was proud to report that all deliveries were executed well within the required time frames and with zero untoward incidents.

For the second year in a row the Global Project Logistics Network has shown its commitment to Breakbulk Asia. Breakbulk Asia is the largest and most important gathering in Asia for companies involved in the shipping of heavy-lift, project cargo and traditional breakbulk cargoes. It is where shippers have the opportunity to meet and develop relationships with the leading specialized carriers, forwarders, ports, terminals and packers who have the expertise and resources to handle oversized cargoes with unique handling requirements. Exhibitors include the world’s major carriers, forwarders and ports that handle specialized heavy-lift, project and breakbulk cargoes. The Breakbulk Asia event is an outgrowth of the Breakbulk Conference and Exhibition held in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the southern part of the United States since 1989 and the Breakbulk Europe event held in Antwerp since 2006. In addition to a bustling exhibition floor, Breakbulk Asia featured a two-day conference with top speakers addressing the theme "Charting the Recovery". The in-depth program delved into today’s most pressing breakbulk transportation issues: from cargo security to trade compliance and materials tracking initiatives. Speakers also discussed the hottest regions for breakbulk and project cargo, and review sectors such as oil and gas, and other power generation markets.

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 professional expertise in the project was highly appreciated by the receivers’ engineers!

Yesterday I saw a Google Adword advertisement linking me to the “world’s greatest project cargo network”, I believe is how the wording went. So I was interested. I clicked on the link only to find that this company was a brand new group and I could count all of the members on one hand and they were all in the same company that the owner of the network was a partner / director of.

Hmmm… Best network in the world, huh? How does anyone honestly make that proclamation without any members? I guess this guy, who knows who he is, is comfortable with that kind of advertising. My advice to that kind of grand standing is always caveat emptor – buyer beware!

Then there is the other competitor who claims to the be world’s largest project network. But when you look at that group you will see that the majority of companies aren’t project specialists at all and are nowhere in the market.

My recommendation is that if you want to know how good a network really is, look at its members. When you see the quality of the members then you know how good the group is. That is the simple, no fail litmus test. Don’t believe anyone’s claims. Look under the hood before you buy the car.

That makes it easy, doesn’t it?
