3PL executes a complex operation at the Port of Gdansk
0In November 2025, 3PL Poland, represented by Łukasz Miłek, Commercial Manager, together with 3PL Industrial Projects, represented by Ilya Goncharov, FCILT, Head of Industrial Projects, and Niels Chr. V. Andersen, Group Project Director | BDM, successfully executed a complex heavy-lift operation at the Port of Gdansk, Poland.
The project involved a large yacht moulding module that was transported from the factory to the port by barge and then directly transferred from the barge onto the ocean vessel M/V BBC NILE, bound for the United Arab Emirates.
The operation required precise coordination and involved multiple critical stages.
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 (ponton) 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.
Thanks to seamless collaboration between all involved parties, including the terminal, stevedores, surveyors, and vessel crew – the operation was 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 transfer, 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,”
said Ilya Goncharov, FCILT, Head of 3PL Industrial Projects, who served as the onsite project manager during the operation.
3PL Group continues to strengthen its 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.
