    Breakbulk Academy I: Interactive Project Cargo Case Study — Managing a Heavy-Lift Shipment from Design to Delivery
    This two-session, interactive case study will follow the process for movement of an out-of-gauge/heavy-lift pressure vessel beginning with its design for shipment from a fabrication yard in India to its delivery to a construction site in southern Louisiana. An experienced team of subject matter experts will guide attendees through the critical steps involving logistics’ engagement in designing, procuring, and moving such a piece of project cargo. During each session, there will be a point at which attendees will work together to propose a solution when an unplanned and uncontrollable disruption forces a sudden change of plans. Session one will focus on design discussions, procurement collaboration, contracting with logistics service providers, and shipment planning.
