Ship Offload - Hansa Meyer USA - 2015

It took a combined team effort for Hansa Meyer Global Transport to complete a "turn-key" solution for our customer.  The project, with origins in Europe and Asia, required tight coordination between our Bremen, Shanghai, and Houston offices.  Representatives from the Houston team were on site for the offload of the major plant equipment.  The total load was 12,932 CBM and due to the extremely large size of the pieces, filled the ship from top to bottom.  Hansa Meyer worked closely with the plant's construction team to coordinate delivery of the pieces to a predetermined, lay-down area. It was important that the largest pieces be placed in specific locations so that assembly could be completed with minimal additional moves.  Thanks to the collaborative effort of our global team, the transport was successful from start to finish.

Enjoy this two minute video of the project.  Your comments are always welcomed below.  Thanks for allowing Hansa Meyer to share our work with you.
