Customer succes stories
When the MV Regine arrived carrying some of the largest process units for INEOS Project One, every stage of the unloading operation had to be carefully orchestrated. Gosselin's Logistics Control Tower coordinated the discharge of the 93-metre, 589-tonne C3 Splitter, together with a wash tower, gas dryers and a water tower, ensuring each unit was safely transferred to the heavy-lift marshalling site. Working in close collaboration with Erhardt Projects, PSA Breakbulk, Felbermayr and Sarens, the operation demonstrated how precise planning and seamless coordination keep complex breakbulk projects moving.
Creating Pairi Daiza's new Edenya world required the careful handling of specialist cargo arriving from across the globe. From live plants to oversized decorative elements, Gosselin coordinated the import, customs clearance and breakbulk handling of a wide range of shipments through one integrated logistics solution.
Every complex shipment depends on careful coordination behind the scenes. By bringing together specialised transport, handling and multimodal logistics, Gosselin managed the complete export of a tank truck to New Caledonia. See how an integrated approach helped keep the project moving smoothly from start to finish.
The first major deliveries for INEOS Project One marked the beginning of a complex heavy-lift programme. As general contractor for the project's marshalling yard, Gosselin coordinated the receipt of five 570-tonne bullets. Following their arrival, the units were safely discharged by Felbermayr onto Sarens stooling configurations before being transferred to the marshalling yard. Close coordination between Deugro, PSA Belgium Breakbulk, Felbermayr, Sarens and Gosselin ensured the operation was executed safely and according to plan, laying the foundation for the next phase of one of Belgium's largest industrial projects.
