Heavy Lift & Project Forward International Magazine recognised the transport of twelve 160-tonne heat recovery steam generator modules, which were moved from Chile to Bolivia on twelve flights, a feat that was achieved using an Antonov An-225 \u201cMirja\u201d, the largest transport aircraft in the world at the time. The judges were particularly impressed by how Hansa Meyer Global managed the project\u2019s tight schedule and the engineering prowess required to bring the heavy and urgently needed equipment to such a remote area.<\/p>\n
This latest award from BHV \u2013 Bremische Hafen- und Logistikvertretung was for a versatile transport frame with a dead weight of 22 tonnes, which the Bremen-based company designed alongside its in-house heavy haul and rigging experts. For oversized heavy-duty consignments with unit weights of up to 200 tonnes, this frame makes it possible, for example, to forego tank bridge equipment or additional hydraulic axles to span a distance of 3.9 metres between the load handling points. \u201cThis planning idea shows how the expensive use of special equipment in emerging markets can be reduced intelligently and sustainably,\u201d explained Jan-Dirk Schuisdziara, Managing Shareholder of Hansa Meyer Global. He feels that in-house construction can reduce transport costs, e.g. for large components, by 30 to 40 per cent. \u201cAt the same time, mobilisation costs are reduced by up to 75 per cent compared to traditional special equipment \u2013 as, too, is the carbon footprint,” Schuisdziara continued.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.logistics-pilot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Portrait_800-1.jpg” title_text=”Portrait_800″ _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ text_font=”roboto-regular||||||||” text_text_color=”#003a7c” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]The Project Logistics Forum organisers and the Project Logistics Award winners (from left): Patrick Rehberg (BHV Board Member), Professor Sven Hermann (Managing Director of ProLog Innovation), Petra L\u00fcdeke (BHV Managing Director), Patric Drewes (BHV Executive Committee Member), Henrique Wohltmann (Managing Shareholder at Hansa Meyer Global) and Jan-Dirk Schuisdziara (Managing Shareholder at Hansa Meyer Global).[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
\u201cWe see ourselves as transport architects,\u201d emphasised Henrique Wohltmann, Managing Shareholder of Hansa Meyer Global, simultaneously stating that every consignment his company transports is an individual customisation. His employees and business partners have almost limitless ideas. However, geographical conditions and the infrastructure can potentially set limits in their day-to-day business. \u201cTunnels that are too small for the cargo to fit through are always the worst. If you then have to find another solution, it\u2019ll cost you time and money,\u201d explained Wohltmann. This is why, for example, in one project, the decision was made to remove the upper road surface and deflate the trailer\u2019s tyres. This allowed the load to pass through an underpass. \u201cIt was precision work, but it was the best possible solution,\u201d Wohltmann recalled.<\/p>\n
Hansa Meyer Global doesn\u2019t just do \u201cbig and heavy\u201d, it can also do \u201cquick and quiet\u201d. Last year, for example, 250,000 vinyl LPs had to be transported under the strictest secrecy from a pressing facility in Poland to the United States in time for the release date of a famous American rapper\u2019s new album. This was achieved initially by lorry to Leipzig and then by air freight on a Boeing 747 full charter flight to Los Angeles. \u201cWe had to make this order, otherwise we\u2019d have had to face the music \u2013 literally!\u201d Schuisdziara said with a smile. \u201cWe got the remaining 750,000 albums to the USA by ocean-going vessel without any pressure.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two experts are not quite so relaxed about the future and the past few years. \u201cOf course, the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine have affected us too. But the big slump we were expecting didn\u2019t come. 2023 was just as stable as 2017 and 2018,\u201d summarised Wohltmann. In his opinion, the biggest problems of the past four years have been the \u201cextreme uncertainty in the market and the unpredictable fluctuations in transport costs\u201d. Where the low water situation in the Panama Canal and the current situation in the Red Sea are concerned, however, Schuisdziara feels uneasy. \u201cWe’re facing challenging times yet again. And there could be the same uncertainty in the market that we experienced just recently.\u201d However, he and his colleague are much more positive about the project logistics market than the current global situation. \u201cIt\u2019ll come back, I\u2019m sure of it, and it\u2019ll come back properly,\u201d said Wohltmann. \u201cConstruction projects are on the rise again and increasingly more renewable energy projects are being realised.\u201d In this context, the two have set their sights, in particular, on four destinations as target markets for the coming years \u2013 Saudi Arabia, West Africa, Brazil and Mexico.
