Complex Heavy Lift Project Completed by 3p Logistics in Gdansk
18th November 2025
This month, 3p Logistics in Poland successfully executed a complex heavy lift operation at the Port of Gdansk. The operations involved a direct barge-to-vessel transshipment of a large yacht moulding module and demonstrates the expertise of 3p Logistics in complex heavy cargo handling and coordination.
The project was managed by Łukasz Miłek (Commercial Manager), Ilya Goncharov (Head of Industrial Projects), and Niels Chr. V. Andersen (Group Project Director).
The yacht moulding module was transported from the factory to the port by barge and then directly transferred from the barge onto the ocean vessel, bound for the UAE. The operations required precise coordination and involved multiple critical stages.
The loading of the cargo onto the barge was performed with a mobile heavy crane starting at 06:00 in the morning, followed by barge transportation to the seaport, where the heavy yacht moulding module was directly transshipped from the barge onto the ocean breakbulk vessel using the vessel's heavy-lift cranes. All operations were successfully completed by around 22:00 in the evening, allowing the vessel to sail the same day.
Ilya Goncharov served as the onsite project manager during the operations and comments; "Thanks to the seamless collaboration between all involved parties, including the terminal, stevedores, surveyors, and vessel crew - the operations were completed efficiently and safely, marking another well-executed heavy lift project in Poland.
This project demonstrated 3PL Group's strong capabilities in direct transshipment, barge-to-ocean vessel transfers, and heavy cargo handling, highlighting the company's focus on precision planning, teamwork, and safety excellence."
"It was a privilege to be onsite and support the coordination between all parties involved. A long day's work, but a great example of teamwork and precision logistics in action."
"3PL Group continues to strengthen our position in the heavy-lift, breakbulk, and project logistics market, with ongoing operations across Northern, Central and Eastern Europe and a growing focus on overseas industrial projects."
