Interim Logistics Manager · CSCP · partner at UC Group
I take over the logistics of your EPC or industrial project: from chartering semi-submersibles and heavy-lift carriers to customs, laydown and last mile to site. Available at short notice in the Netherlands, Belgium and worldwide.
Hiring runs per project and exclusively through UC Group — whether you call it an interim or a freelance logistics manager. I work on EPC logistics and heavy transport as interim logistics manager Netherlands, interim logistics manager Belgium, and worldwide wherever the project is.
Services
As an interim project logistics manager and logistics consultant I take over the logistics of EPC projects: from the logistics execution plan and the tendering of transport contracts to the last module on its foundation. Alongside that I run interim assignments in warehousing and supply chain. All work runs exclusively through UC Group.
EPC project logistics for owner or EPC contractor: logistics execution plan, transport and packing procedures, Incoterms, insurance and customs strategy.
Heavy lift logistics and out-of-gauge transport, from forty-tonne pieces to modules over a thousand tonnes, by road, inland waterway and sea.
Chartering project cargo from module yard to marshalling yard and site, with heavy lift vessel charter, part charters and breakbulk bookings.
Offshore wind logistics and LNG project logistics: foundations, towers, nacelles and modules through port, marshalling yard and installation vessel.
Interim supply chain manager for warehouse operations and supply chains, including system implementations and network redesign.
Interim logistics management on departure, growth or crisis: temporary replacement, reorganisation or rescue plan when the knowledge or capacity is missing internally.
Case
From April 2023 to December 2025 I was Logistics Manager of Project One, the largest chemical investment in Europe in 25 years (€4 billion). Together with three EPC partners (Técnicas Reunidas, Wood and Technip Energies), modules had to move from Abu Dhabi, Hamriyah, Thailand, China and the Philippines to Antwerp.
By revising the shipping arrangements engineered by the EPC partners I saved more than €20 million. Those savings absorbed the extra cost of sailing around the Cape of Good Hope during the Red Sea crisis, which would otherwise have exceeded the budget.

Frequently asked
Writes the logistics execution plan, sets up contracts with forwarders and carriers, safeguards Incoterms, customs and insurance, and runs execution from module yard to foundation, so logistics stays within the project's budget and schedule.
A semi-submersible ballasts down so floating modules or heavy cargo can be floated on; a heavy-lift carrier lifts cargo with its own cranes. The choice depends on weight, dimensions, load port and cost per voyage.
Usually within a few weeks, for assignments from three months to several years, on an interim or consultancy basis, on site or hybrid.
Yes. The INEOS project had load ports in the Middle East and Asia; I work where the project is, including remote locations.
