XL Tanks from Netherlands to Sweden: A Seamless Logistics Solution
XL Tanks from Netherlands to Sweden: A Seamless Logistics Solution

JAS Projects recently completed a comprehensive logistics solution for Gpi Tanks XL, a company specialized in stainless steel tank construction, either on-site or at one of their flexible construction locations near a waterway, as was the case with this project. This project involved transporting large industrial tanks from Zwijndrecht, Netherlands, to Uddevalla, Sweden, where they will be used to recycle de-icing liquid for major Scandinavian airports.

The operation in Zwijndrecht required careful coordination due to tidal constraints and limited water depth. With a maximum draft of 3.5 meters at the loading berth, and the vessel entering with a 3.2-meter draft, precise planning was critical. Using an overhead crane, the tanks were loaded onto trailers before being transferred to the vessel by a mobile crane. Despite facing high winds and a two-day delay due to storms, the entire loading process was completed in just six hours.

A 700-ton mobile crane was utilized during loading to maintain a safe 33-meter radius, ensuring no pressure was placed on the jetty. The vessel, sailing with open hatch covers to accommodate the tank height, ensured smooth and secure transport to Sweden.

Upon arrival at the client’s site in Uddevalla, discharge operations were executed efficiently. The tanks were unloaded and installed onto their foundations within ten hours. JAS Projects coordinated the movement of the first tank directly to its foundation, while the second was temporarily stored on steel stools. The team also managed a last-minute client request to arrange the installation of a walkway and spiral stairs.

This project exemplifies the JAS Projects’ team ability to overcome logistical challenges and deliver customized solutions with precision. From factory to foundation, JAS provides end-to-end logistics expertise, ensuring that every project is completed on time, safely, and with the highest level of care.

JAS recognized by Flowserve for excellence in global logistics.
JAS Named Flowserve’s Freight Forwarder of the Year 2024

JAS has once again been honored by Flowserve Corporation, a global leader in flow control solutions, securing the Freight Forwarder of the Year 2024 award. This marks the second year in a row JAS has been recognized by Flowserve, reinforcing its position as a trusted logistics partner in Flowserve’s supply chain.

JAS’s 2024 recognition builds on its exceptional 2023 performance, which included Customs Broker of the Year and Best Account Management of the Year awards, with a special commendation for Regional Account Manager Katarina Cook. Flowserve annually awards five logistics partners across three freight forwarding and two non-freight categories (e.g., trucking, small packages), making JAS’s multi-year success a testament to its operational excellence and client-centric approach.

“We are proud to receive this award; it is a testament to the dedication and passion of every JAS team member across the globe. It proves that at JAS, it’s our people who truly make the difference,” Manuele Mazzacurati, EVP Global Sales and Marketing, JAS.

“JAS plays a vital role in keeping our operations in motion. Their dedication to operational excellence, collaborative approach and innovative adoption of new technologies have been instrumental in supporting our mission to deliver reliable flow control solutions worldwide,” said Matt Dowgill, Flowserve’s Vice President of Global Supply Chain. “This award reflects not only their performance but also their commitment to helping Flowserve develop and mature our logistics function.”
