Introduction:
OTC Logistics, a leading transportation and logistics provider, has successfully managed 18 reverse logistics projects for wind turbine manufacturers in North America over the past two years. The projects involved the transportation of wind turbine shipping and transport fixtures, averaging 100-150 containers per month. OTC Logistics provided turnkey reverse logistics project management, including collecting cargo from windmill farms and ports, consolidation, inventory control, trans-loading, drayage ocean shipping to multiple countries, and final delivery back to the manufacturers.
Background:
Wind turbine manufacturers rely on specialized shipping and transport fixtures to transport their equipment safely and securely to windmill farms. These fixtures are costly and can take up a significant amount of space in storage facilities. To optimize their use and minimize costs, manufacturers need to recover and reuse these fixtures after wind projects are completed. OTC Logistics was approached to provide a comprehensive reverse logistics solution that would ensure that these fixtures were efficiently and effectively transported back to the manufacturers.
Project Execution:
OTC Logistics executed the reverse logistics projects with precision, ensuring that the fixtures were carefully handled throughout the process. The team collected the fixtures from windmill farms and ports and consolidated them for efficient transport. They also maintained strict inventory control and provided trans-loading services to ensure that the fixtures were loaded onto ocean carriers safely.
OTC Logistics coordinated closely with ocean carriers to ensure that the fixtures were transported to multiple countries, including India, Spain, China, Brazil, and Portugal, within the required timeframe. The team also managed drayage services at the ports and final delivery back to the manufacturers for future reuse.Top of Form
