The smooth implementation of each overseas project,All of them are inseparable from the work of complex system and the management of precise overall planning.
Logistics is not the highest cost of many links,However, due to its complex requirements and characteristics of crossing over many countries, multi procedures, multi links, multi institutions and multi rules, it has an important relationship with the material guarantee and smooth progress of the project.

How to better coordinate with material allocation and construction schedule,In logistics and transportation for the smooth operation of international projects?
Greenroad has been active in various professional forums and activities at home and abroad. On the one hand, it has learned all kinds of overseas engineering knowledge to better understand customer needs for project services. At the same time, it has carried out professional discussions within the logistics industry, obtained first-hand technology, resources and programs, and expanded professional human construction resources. Everything is as big and small as overseas engineering. In the past 20 years, Greenroad has been planning strategies for more than 20 years In the field of engineering experience, constantly improve service standards and quality.

Today, we will review some of the meetings and activities that our company participated in,Let's get to know the hottest topic of overseas engineering logistics.



Recently, Greenroad international logistics attended the breakbulk & project cargo engineering project cargo forum held in New Orleans, USA, which was attended by a large number of shippers and leading enterprises in the international engineering logistics industry, including Bechtel, fluor, Air Liquide, Linde, etc., engineering contractors, Ministry of transport and customs regulatory departments, La, New Orleans, New York, Houston, etc As the only representative of Chinese logistics enterprises, our company, together with industry leaders, can find the best in the specialization and regulation of the industry from the perspective of shipowner and logistics company to better understand each other's needs Balance point, work together to complete the project implementation.

Here are some topics we discussed in this forum:

The development trend of global energy market?
For the whole overseas projects, oil and gas and new energy enterprises may affect the investment and project support of some national projects. In addition to the industry's own engineering projects, such as the emerging offshore wind power projects, the derivative projects and material logistics brought by it have a huge impact.

The direction of steel market in 2019?



Steel is not only the backbone of the engineering industry, but also an important part of major groceries. The analysis trend of the whole steel market is of great importance to the impact of the engineering logistics industry, especially when the steel enters the ranks of trade negotiations. Only by fully studying the relevant policies can we have a better understanding of the procurement, import and export of the project executors.

Strategy of purchasing and supply chain in the period of "trade war"?





Changing trade terms, additional constraints, import tax rates, etc., have a huge impact on the project engineering industry, including engineering design, procurement and construction may become more expensive and complex, and even affect the smooth implementation of the project. Shippers need to do research and preparation in complicated market environment together with logistics enterprises.



New prospects of wind power?



Onshore and offshore wind power projects are blooming all over the country, with more and more new energy input, larger and larger wind leaves, and more and more challenges in logistics. In the next few years, when the field of wind power will continue to develop, the research and planning of the logistics industry is particularly important.

Joint transportation of project materials by railway and road?



There is a growing demand for professional employees and equipment for major components, and the shortage of resources may cause cost growth. For some projects, materials beyond specifications, hydraulic natural gas, petrochemical and other projects, rail land intermodal transportation can be used. Greenroad has the resources of multi-national integrated railway network (and inland river) to provide customers with options to optimize cost and efficiency.

Capital Projects and the Resource Gap
Talent gap in large projects

The professional personnel reserve for the operation of major materials of the project has been in short supply, and there are fewer and fewer technical backbones with good training and rich operation experience. The professional logistics company will carry out model and standardized personnel management to ensure the logistics preparation and implementation.

Impact of IMO 2020 on the international freight industry
With the approaching of IMO 2020, analysts say that the supply of low sulfur fuel and its impact on cost require timely deployment of strategies such as order placement, demand, storage, etc., especially air transport and railway options. In the face of uncertain market factors, consignor to forwarder to driver needs to find ways to cooperate.

How to choose freight forwarder?

For international shippers, especially EPC enterprises, the control of logistics cost is particularly important under the condition of tight oil price. The most important thing for freight forwarders is the global resources of freight forwarders. Only enough resources can provide the best scheme and guarantee and reduce the extra cost.

Technology and digitalization in Engineering Logistics


The smaller the cargo transport, the more digital technology. Because of the particularity and complexity of goods and the confidentiality of some goods, engineering logistics is uncertain in digital tracking and goods networking. For Greenford, we will further invest in the introduction of digital logistics system for major parts.

A moth in a wood may cause the consignee to face a huge fine from customs or the Ministry of agriculture. Only by fully contacting with the customs and relevant departments and understanding the relevant laws and regulations of import and export, can we ensure that a small mistake will not cause a huge impact on the implementation of the project.


US Customs and other participants

On the above issues of engineering logistics industry,All shippers or colleagues are welcome to discuss with Greenroad.

Recently, Greenford international logistics USA participated in the ProMat exhibition in Chicago, which focused on supply chain warehouse management technology, platform and hardware,Understand the latest hardware and software technology in the industry, so that our company can provide customers with more overseas warehouse management and services.
