Welcome to JAS Motorsport!

Our Motorsport team based in Luxembourg is the go-to choice for racing teams and race organizers all around the world. We understand the pressure faced by championship organizations and the need for fast and reliable solutions. In the highly competitive and demanding world of motorsports, time is of essence, and we ensure that our customers can rely on JAS when it comes to timely arrival of cars and equipment whereby our expertise and the quality of our services are one-of-a-kind.

Based on the shape and dimensions of the vehicle, the JAS Motorsport team determines the best carriers to contact for the most competitive rates and effective solutions, while maintaining the highest quality of service. JAS takes into consideration the type of aircraft and the airline operating, whether it’s a freighter service where the vehicle will ride on the main deck, or whether the vehicle can fit onto the lower deck on a passenger aircraft or potentially double stack them by means of carracks to be used.

One of our key strengths is the moving cars from Racetrack to Racetrack on a global scale, swiftly and on-time. We move professional racecars, bikes, boats by every mean of transport, be it by air, sea, road, or rail, whatever suits the best in terms of timing and the available budgets. We understand the immense value of these competition vehicles and the importance of handling them with utmost care and efficiency.

MOTORSPORT MOVES Cars for '22 Dakar Rallye

Racing teams worldwide rely on the JAS Worldwide Motorsport team based in Luxembourg to meet the demanding deadlines faced by a championship motorsport organization.

This past December, JAS organized the movement and transport of four RS Q e-tron cars and a bit more than 7 tons of accessories and equipment from Luxembourg to Riyadh for the account of AUDI Sport & Q Motorsport. The high-tech electric prototype vehicles were used as a part of the 2022 Dakar Rallye, which was held in Saudi Arabia from January 1–14, 2022.  

The team is currently in the process of transporting several of the cars back to Luxembourg now that the event is over.

Congratulations to the JAS Motorsport team! People continue to make the difference.

After walking away from talks in November 2024, the ILA has signaled the possibility of a renewed strike if their demands are not addressed before the January 15, 2025, deadline.
Customer Advisory: ILA Strike Update 1

Potential for Renewed ILA Strike Over Automation Disputes

Negotiations between the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) have reached a critical impasse, primarily due to disagreements over port automation. After walking away from talks in November 2024, the ILA has signaled the possibility of a renewed strike if their demands are not addressed before the January 15, 2025, deadline.

This situation follows a previous three-day strike in early October 2024, which temporarily halted operations at ports along the East and Gulf Coasts. While those ports have since resumed operations, the disruption caused widespread delays and financial strain on the U.S. economy. The recent suspension of strike action was agreed upon for 90 days, ending January 15, 2025, but with negotiations stalled, the risk of further disruption looms large.

Impact of Previous Strike Action

The October strike caused significant delays, cost overruns, and operational disruptions, including:

  • Shutdowns at 36 ports handling over half of U.S. container volume.
  • Increased fees for freight storage, detention, and other services.
  • Prolonged transit times due to vessel rerouting.
  • Downstream effects on retailers and supply chains during peak season.

Mitigating Future Disruptions

To minimize risks, businesses should consider these strategies:

  1. Divert shipments to alternate ports, such as those on the West Coast.
  2. Anticipate congestion at rerouted locations.
  3. Leverage air freight for time-sensitive cargo.
  4. Utilize intermodal solutions for inland transportation.
  5. Be prepared for increased shipping costs and fees.
  6. Stay informed and work proactively with logistics partners to reduce delays.

Guidance from JAS

JAS remains committed to supporting clients during these uncertain times. If your operations are at risk of being impacted, we strongly encourage you to reach out to your JAS representative. Our team can provide tailored solutions to mitigate disruptions, streamline supply chains, and optimize freight options. Whether through alternative routing, expedited services, or strategic planning, JAS is here to help you navigate these challenges effectively.

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.
