Exceptional cargo travelling from Ghent to Antwerp: two giant engines. A job well done.

HEAVY, a division of Gosselin Logistics nv, was at the breakbulk exhibition in Rotterdam, the event where the most important players and customers from the breakbulk and project sector meet.

Is your current warehousing partner the right one for you? Have you ever considered which type of warehouse and location can offer your business added value? A warehouse that is the perfect response to your needs, and offers a few very strong benefits besides. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

This is the third time Arne Quinze has joined forces with Gosselin Group’s Industrial Projects business unit for an overseas art project.

When putting in a request for the transport of crates from the Netherlands to Gosselin in Belgium, the Heavy team discovered that the cargo was too large for regular road transport. No worries! When faced with a logistics problem, Gosselin will always find a solution. This also means the customer only has to contact one company to handle all of the different steps in the supply chain.

Have you ever looked at a wind turbine and wondered how these giants got to their location? Believe it or not, there are people specialized in ensuring exceptional transport like this stays on track. Literally, since every bend in the road and intersection is examined and measured in advance. Lina Rombouts, in charge of the Pilots & Permits division, tells us more.

In 2000, Gosselin Logistics decided to set up an air freight division. This move made the thoroughly Belgian logistics services company’s offering as a one-stop shop complete. “Thanks to our presence at Brucargo’s facility, we are able to offer our customers a full range of services. Many customers who use road, rail and ocean transport also need air freight from time to time,” says Dirk Van Hoomissen, Business Unit Manager for 360° Logistics.

Zeg niet zomaar boot tegen de Westhinder III. Dit lichtschip fungeerde vanaf 1864 als richtingsaanwijzer voor de schepen zoals de verkeersborden dat voor auto’s doen. Met lichtsignalen en een misthoorn hielp het schippers navigeren langs zandbanken en kliffen. Ondertussen met pensioen en gered van de schroothoop is de Westhinder naar haar laatste kaai gevaren en verankerd met de hulp van Pasec Port, Gosselin .

Gosselin often transports crates for the moving division from Deurne to the Left Bank and vice versa; since both storage areas are located on the same side of the water, the idea arose to arrange this part of the transport by inland navigation. Up to now, this has resulted in 82 fewer trucks on the roads around Antwerp and an appealing reduction in CO2 emissions.
