When you hear the term ‘project logistics,’ what comes to mind? Perhaps something heavy, like a wind energy turbine or part of a huge plant or machine. But project cargo comprises much more than that. What exactly project logistics entails, how a project progresses from the tender through to the transport and which specialist skills are needed – all this is covered in this episode of ‘Logistics People Talk’.

Project logistics experts Carsten Schröter, Global Director Project Logistics at Rhenus, and Matthias Steffens, Head of Engineering at Rhenus Project Logistics, talk about the ins and outs of this specialised cargo group. Matthias Steffens dives deep into the various steps of planning and engineering, including route surveys, transport consulting and method statements. Carsten Schröter explains why project logistics is by far not your usual nine-to-five job, and that managing a project from start to finish requires a lot of dedication – and passion.
