We're live: Lashed & Secured launches
Lashed & Secured: what matters in logistics, by logistics people. Today we're live, with one place for the people who move cargo that doesn't fit the box.
Every heavy lift starts long before the crane hook goes up. It starts with ready dates that slip, cargo specs that change, extra cargo that appears out of the blue, road permit applications, method statements, risk assessments, lift plans, crane limitations, liaising with marine surveyors and everything else we've all come to love over the years. Then there's finding out at 11pm that the vessel's been held in port by bad weather. We've all had the dreaded 1am calls.
We've done those jobs, from urgent oil and gas equipment to out-of-gauge cargo on flat racks, tight sailing windows and even tighter budgets. We know the answers are out there, but they're scattered across rulebooks, carrier PDFs and the memories of the people who've done it before.
That's why we built Lashed & Secured: one place for the people who move cargo that doesn't fit the box.
