Marine supply chain shipment spotlights
February 17, 2026
When a global leader in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) shipping needed to outfit 15 of their vessels in dry dock with new, dual-fuel tank systems, they turned to Marinetrans, an AIT Worldwide Logistics company, for proven logistics expertise.
The Marinetrans team quickly delivered an end‑to‑end solution to move the massive systems, each made up of two tanks, measuring 118 feet by 26 feet (36 meters by 8 meters) and weighing in at 130 tons. The plan included chartering heavy-lift-capable barges from a fabrication site in Shanghai to the client’s shipyard in southern China.
Marinetrans completed multiple mid-typhoon-season deliveries of the large, sensitive equipment to vessels entering dry dock, with a program including sea-fastening design, permitting and much more. The work demanded precise marine engineering, heavy‑lift transport, and careful sequencing to align with yard availability and vessel maintenance windows. Strict safety requirements and third‑party technical validation by a marine warranty surveyor further increased complexity, while weather disruptions required flexible schedules and robust go/no‑go criteria.
Despite volatile weather conditions, all deliveries were completed safely, on schedule and on budget—with zero damage. Marinetrans met evolving client requirements with rapid response and documentation control, earning the customer’s trust to manage complex, high‑stakes marine logistics projects under pressure.

Moving a 49,000-kilogram excavator across Europe without breaking the bank? Challenge accepted.
By combining AIT-Antwerp’s ocean freight and customs services with the out-of-gauge marine transport expertise provided by Lubbers Logistics Group, an AIT Worldwide Logistics company, our teams collaborated to deliver an efficient ocean shipment solution from Brecht, Belgium, to the project site in Valencia, Spain.
While the typical plan would be to transport via road, our experts determined that such a massive cargo shipment would require a variety of permits, which would be both costly and time-consuming to obtain. Thinking outside the box, the team formulated a much more cost-effective solution to ship via sea on a roll-on/roll-off (aka “roro”) vessel for the main leg of the journey.
By avoiding complex overland permitting while delivering an on-time, on-budget shipment, this project highlights how our integrated network simplifies heavy equipment moves for the marine industry.

Our experts in Scotland mobilized quickly, arranging for both lowbed and flatbed trailers to transport the oversized cargo and additional equipment from multiple Aberdeen locations to the South Harbour seaport. End-to-end road transport wasn’t an option due to the tight timeframe and permitting challenges, so the team secured a partial sea charter. And, within a week, the shipment was on its way.
Thanks to seamless coordination and precise pre-carriage operations, just three weeks later, the 60,000-kg shipment arrived on time in Livorno, ensuring our customer’s critical project could move forward.
