With its extensive cargo connections, specialised stevedoring services and warehousing infrastructure, Turku provides a relevant setting for conversations about the evolution of modern port operations.

Navigating green corridors, environmental resilience, and leadership

The opening day of the conference will centre on the operational pressures driving ports toward comprehensive environmental transition. Sessions are set to examine the establishment of green shipping corridors across the Baltic Sea, climate change adaptation strategies, and the integration of biodiversity roadmaps into daily port management. It is a chance to listen to high-level stakeholders from the European Commission, the European Sea Ports Organization, and regional port authorities discuss long-term perspectives and the evolving maritime leadership. Additionally, industrial logistics and specialized warehousing solutions will demonstrate how modern facilities manage cargo handling and supply chain resilience.

Clean Fuels, carbon flows, and digital infrastructure

The second day will shift the participants’ attention toward energy vectors and digital transformation, focusing on the development of Carbon Capture and Storage value chains, wind energy integration, and future bunker fuels. Alongside these energy initiatives, industry presentations and panel discussions will evaluate the mechanics of port digitalization, automated traffic management, and data intelligence systems. As the maritime sector faces critical transformations, this year’s gathering in Turku provides the definitive platform to connect with industry peers, examine cutting-edge port developments, and help shape the future trajectory of Baltic shipping.

The Cooperative Logistics Network encourages its members to join BPC 2026 which offers a chance to look beyond day-to-day freight operations and understand the wider forces transforming the maritime sector.

When Standard Logistics Isn’t Enough- Unitex Moves 38-Meter Foundation Pipes to Papua New Guinea

Posted on | by Tamishra

Custom lifting equipment, round-the-clock crane operations, and meticulous planning ensured the smooth execution of this complex project cargo shipment

Unitex Int’l Forwarding, a member of The Cooperative Logistics Network in Ningbo, China, has successfully completed the transportation of 38-meter-long foundation steel pipes from Huanghua, China, to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, demonstrating its expertise in managing complex project cargo and non-standard shipments.

The operation presented several challenges from the outset. The extraordinary length of the pipes required specialized handling procedures, while the destination port’s limited experience with breakbulk cargo added another layer of operational complexity. Extended handling times and demanding lifting requirements further increased the need for careful planning and precise execution to keep the project on schedule.

Additionally, to ensure a smooth operation, Unitex implemented a series of customized logistics solutions tailored to the cargo’s unique characteristics. The company arranged dedicated yard storage facilities to accommodate the 20-day overland transportation process and coordinated round-the-clock crane operations, allowing vessel loading to be completed in just four days instead of the six originally anticipated.

The project also required specially designed equipment, including a custom-built 15-meter lifting boom and tandem ship crane operations utilizing both bow and stern cranes to safely handle the ultra-long cargo. In addition, they deployed customized 10-ton lifting slings for each pipe to facilitate secure and efficient discharge at the destination.

“Project cargo operations demand more than equipment and transportation capacity. They require detailed engineering, proactive planning, and the ability to adapt to challenges at every stage of the journey,” said Ms. Karen Ngo, Managing Director of Unitex Int’l Forwarding. “This shipment is a great example of how experience and teamwork can transform a highly complex operation into a successful delivery.”

The successful completion of the project highlights Unitex’s 29 years of experience in handling oversized and non-standard cargoes across challenging trade lanes. “This project required close coordination between all parties involved, from origin handling to final discharge. We are proud to have delivered a solution that met the customer’s timeline while ensuring the safe handling of every piece of cargo throughout the journey,” added Ms. Ngo.

Congratulations to Unitex for for overcoming the operational challenges and delivering another outstanding project cargo success!
