GPLN Member Younger Niche sets a new overland record in ZhangJiaGang

In GPLN Member News on November 19, 2009 at 9:00 am

Global Project Logistics Network member Younger Niche Logistics (YNL) has the distinction of being responsible for the movement of the single largest piece of equipment ever moved by road transport in ZhangJiaGang, Jiangsu Province, China. The piece, 14m x 7.4m x 7.9m / 86,000kgs, was moved by road from the supplier’s premises to PuXiang port, ZhangJiaGang. The move, covering 30 kms, took 22 hours to complete and involved the services of local ZhangJiaGang government, the police and officials from the department of electrical power.

In order to reduce height the unit was transported minus cradles. Only once alongside vessel was the unit postioned and secured in cradles.

PuXiang port, a privately owned facility, was chosen as the load port as access from suppliers whilst still difficult was the closest with less overhead obstructions than other roadways to the public port.

YNL were instrumental in obtaining berthing rights for the ocean carrier, a foreign flag vessel, at PuXiang port.

There are special trailers that can transport up to three wings at one time, each 45 m long. The wing truck has four axle lines, obtained by combining two modular Euro Combi trailers with special adapters and extendable beams. The low floor height of the Euro Combi’s allow the three wings to be carried without exceeding the four-meter legal road height. Swing axles give it a high ground clearance when moving off-road. The steering axle displacement up to 60° provides maneuverability when having to pass tight roundabouts.

In GPLN Member News on October 5, 2009 at 7:39 am

Following an earlier announcement of Peters & May Ltd.’s acquisition of U.K.-based performance yacht and motor boat logistics provider, Complete Freight Ltd., the company also revealed an exclusive agency agreement with Oceanbridge Shipping Ltd. of New Zealand. The agreement covers the marine sector of Oceanbridge Shipping’s businesses and commenced on May 25th 2009.

On making the announcement, Peters & May’s managing director Jan Rydgren-Knudsen, said: “We are very happy to announce this tie up with Oceanbridge Shipping, a company with an expanding portfolio of clients that has proven itself to be dynamic and most professional – qualities that mirror the philosophy and ideals of Peters & May.”

“We look forward to working with them and are confident that this new relationship will be a valued enhancement to the services we deliver to our clients as the service and support of Oceanbridge will be

available to our net work of 12 world-wide offices.”

Oceanbridge Shipping had previously worked closely with Peters & May’s new acquisition, Complete Freight and established a marine division that has rapidly developed to become the leading marine logistics provider in New Zealand. Furthermore the company is the largest independent NVOCC in New Zealand.

Alister Wishart, chief operations officer of Oceanbridge Shipping, commented: “The acquisition of Complete Freight by Peters & May is very much welcomed and the joining of the two companies will, I

believe, lead to significant opportunities for future development and growth.

“We are extremely excited to have signed this exclusive agency agreement with Peters & May and eagerly look forward to supporting their worldwide clients’ shipment needs. The agreement is mutually

beneficial and will both enhance and strengthen Oceanbridge’s position as the leading marine logistics provider in our region.”

Peters & May has over 30 years experience in the provision of marine logistics and offers global boat transportation and freight forwarding via air, road, rail and sea from a global network of 12 offices and

numerous exclusive agencies.

The company ships 8,000 vessels through more than 150 ports in over 60 countries and is the preferred shipper to many of the world’s leading boat builders, including Sunseeker.

The summer months are especially busy for the company — with Cowes Week and the Fastnet Race under a month away, Peters & May have been busy shipping the most modern and extreme sailing yachts into the U.K.  in top condition for their owners to start preparations.
