Fair Wind Blows for PPG Members - A fair wind is blowing for project cargo specialists the Project Professionals Group in the wind energy sector.

TransProject LLC, PPG’s member in the United States, has been awarded the contract for the transportation of wind turbine towers from Korea to Brazil and other renewable energy plant and equipment shipments from Germany, USA, Canada, China, and India. Transportation will be supported by the PPG network including Sahil Freight Express (India), Rhenus Logistics (Spain), and Polytra N.V. (Belgium).

PPG’s member in Korea, Shin-Jo Logitech, provided key support and excellent service on preliminary shipments of flanges which allowed the network to demonstrate its strong presence in Korea. The contracts awarded so far from this client have resulted in more than $US10 million worth of wind harvesting plant and equipment shipments over the past two years. O. Lisboa Despachos, PPG’s member in Brazil, provided the local customer support and worked in conjunction with TransProject to deliver client services. The latest contract announcement comes hot on the heels of the American Wind Energy Association Windpower conference and exhibition in Dallas where PPG members and TransProject teamed up to exhibit.

PPG general manager Kevin Stephens said the dedication and hard work of members during the past two years in the renewable energy sector had been rewarded. "The strength of the Project Professionals Group is the quality of its membership and track record of success in delivering overdimensional, heavy-lift cargos," Mr Stephens said. The Project Professionals Group and TransProject are members of the United States Environmental Protection Agency SmartWay Transport Partnership that aims to increase energy efficiency while significantly reducing greenhouse gases and air pollution.
