Increasing demand for Logwin’s Ship Parts Logistics

Logwin profits from the trend among shipping companies to only order spare parts when they need them:

The number of shipping companies who only order spare parts when they need them is growing. For Logwin, the international logistics services provider, this trend raised the demand for its Ship Parts Logistics special service by 28 per cent in the last three years. “The trend is clearly away from storing spare parts on board and towards ordering them when required,” says Helmut Kaspers, COO of the business segment Air + Ocean of Logwin AG.

Ship Parts Logistics means Logwin takes over the required replacement parts from prescribed dealers and organises the transport to the ships. Customers include shipyards, shipowners and supply or operating companies. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a small electronic component, an entire crank shaft or an anchor chain weighing several tonnes – we can supply ships and shipyards with all types of replacement parts and components,” explains Helmut Kaspers.

Depending on the ship’s location, one of Logwin’s 18 regional Ship Parts Logistics Centers is responsible for final delivery. The logistics centers are situated in Athens, Bangkok, Dubai, Hamburg, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Larnaca, London, Miami, Milan, Perth, São Paulo, Santiago de Chile, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore and Valletta. The centers also hold consignment stock. Logwin regularly procures ship parts from numerous manufacturers in various countries and stores them here until they are ordered. Shipments reach their destination by air freight, sea freight or truck. Sometimes an order is so urgent that it has to be delivered within 48 hour of receipt of the order.
