JAS Projects is an independent business unit within JAS Worldwide and consists of a team of project and energy logistics experts with a proven track record in the industries. Available at strategic locations worldwide, the team provides project-forwarding services to industrial clients and EPC companies. JAS Projects serves both buyers and suppliers of large industrial goods, heavy and over-dimensional equipment and modules.
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.
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) have reached a tentative agreement on a new six-year Master Contract, helping to provide stability for East and Gulf Coast ports. The agreement, announced on January 8, 2025, prevents a potential work stoppage scheduled for January 15.
In a joint statement, the ILA and USMX highlighted the agreement's importance: "This agreement protects current ILA jobs and establishes a framework for implementing technologies that will create more jobs while modernizing East and Gulf coast ports – making them safer and more efficient, and creating the capacity they need to keep our supply chains strong."
The contract, which is subject to ratification by both parties, supports job creation and port efficiency while helping sustain the U.S. economy's role in global trade. Further details will remain confidential until the review and approval process is complete.
This milestone agreement marks a collaborative step forward for the maritime industry, ensuring stability and growth in the years to come.

JAS Projects and JAS Sweden are proud to share an exciting achievement in heavy transport, executed deep in northern Sweden near the Polar Circle. This unique project involves the movement of oversized cargo through challenging winter conditions, where temperatures plummet as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius.
The cargos dimensions are impressive:
Transporting such massive loads requires meticulous planning, technical expertise, and flawless teamwork—all of which were on full display as our team worked tirelessly to ensure safe and efficient delivery through the icy terrain.
Luiz Dos Santos, Project Coordinator at JAS Projects, accompanied the operation and shared his firsthand experience. For Luiz, this was his first opportunity to be on-site for a heavy-lift transport, and it proved to be both thrilling and educational:
"A thrilling mission in the far north. I accompanied the heavy transport from start to finish through the icy winter landscape of northern Sweden. It was an extraordinary and impressive experience to see the required precision and flawless teamwork with my own eyes. The execution, as well as the planning, are significantly more complex than they often appear from the desk. So, it was all the more helpful to have experienced the entire process firsthand."
This operation is a testament to the team's commitment to excellence, even in extreme environments. From intricate planning to navigating unpredictable Arctic conditions, the success of this transport highlights our ability to deliver solutions tailored to every challenge.
As you may have seen in recent news, labor negotiations between the ILA and the USMX remain unresolved. While a tentative agreement was reached in October 2024 to extend the Master Contract until January 15, 2025, key issues are still under negotiation, raising concerns about potential port disruptions.
Despite ongoing efforts to reach a resolution, the risk of disruption is increasing as the deadline approaches, though the situation remains dynamic.
Current Negotiation Status:
Potential for Disruption:
As negotiations remain stalled, the risk of disruption at East and Gulf Coast ports is escalating. Stakeholders across various industries are urging both parties to reach a resolution to avoid further economic impacts.
Carrier Surcharges:
Proactively, several carriers, including CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, and ZIM, have announced the implementation of surcharges due to the potential for labor disruptions:
As the deadline draws near, it is anticipated that all carriers will implement similar surcharges. As we continue to monitor developments, JAS as well reserves the right to activate the BWL congestion surcharges should any actions be taken by the ILA.
Impact of Previous Strike Action:
The previous three-day strike in October 2024 caused significant delays and operational disruptions, affecting:
Mitigating Future Disruptions:
To minimize risks, businesses should consider these strategies:
Guidance from JAS:
JAS Worldwide continues to support clients during this uncertain period. Businesses are encouraged to prepare for potential disruptions by exploring alternative routing options and staying informed about ongoing negotiations. JAS is available to provide tailored solutions to help mitigate risks associated with these developments.As the January deadline approaches, both parties must work diligently to resolve their differences and secure a stable working environment for longshore workers and businesses alike.
