In addition to project logistics management, the Group's core activities encompass ship chartering, aviation logistics, logistics consultancy and transport engineering. TGP also offers a wide spectrum of services in global freight forwarding, supply chain management and integrated logistics as well as value-added services such as biosecurity, procurement, customs brokerage and insurance.

History

Trans Global Projects was founded in January 1988 as a subsidiary of the Trans Global Group, one of the UK's largest independent multimodal transport organisations. One year after its founding, TGP embarked on a global expansion programme, opening its first overseas office in Antwerp in 1989. In 1999, the company won its first “mega project” on the giant Karachaganak Gas Condensate project in Western Kazakhstan. The $220 million US contract ran for five years, and during that time, TGP was responsible for the movement of 1.6 million tonnes of cargo as well as managing all logistics-related services on the project.

TGP took the next step in its development in 2007, when Breezeline International Group Ltd, a co-investor owned by members of the senior management team, acquired full ownership of the TGP group of companies.

In December 2013, TGP was ranked the 64th fastest growing private company in the UK in a Fast Track 100 report. [1] The company was also ranked the second largest in the Fast Track 100 league table in terms of its annual turnover.

In 2015, TGP continued its substantial growth, acquiring the Swiss logistics specialist Natco AG. Two years later, TGP acquired Germany's Natco GmbH and became a majority stakeholder in the Brazilian transport company NPT Brasil Projetos & Transportes Internacionais LTDA (NPT), which was later renamed to TGP Brasil. [2] [3] [4] [5]

In 2018, TGP was awarded the contract for project logistics management for a shipment of equipment and construction materials to the British Antarctic Survey’s (BAS) Rothera Research Station at Rothera Point by BAM, a global construction and engineering company. [6] The equipment and materials were to be used to build a new wharf to house the UK's new state-of-the-art polar research vessel RSS Sir David Attenborough. [7] TGP successfully delivered the first Arctic shipment in January 2019, and as a result of this Antarctica project's success, the company was shortlisted for "Excellence in Engineering" at the 2019 Heavy Lift Awards. [8] In January 2020, the Group once again returned to the polar region, completing a delivery to the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. This shipment included construction material to modernise the British Antarctic Research Station at King Edward Point as well as build a new berthing facility to accommodate RRS Sir David Attenborough. [9]

In 2021, TGP continued to grow its focus on the renewable energy industry and secured a contract for the transport of approximately 320,000 freight tons of wind turbine components. [10] Over the nearly year-long contract, TGP delivered 57 sets of 3 MW offshore turbines for two wind farm projects in Vietnam. [11]

In 2022, TGP was contracted to support Invictus Energy Limited’s first-of-its-kind oil and gas exploration project in northern Zimbabwe with the delivery of time-critical equipment from Australia to the drill site.[ citation needed ]

A freight forwarder or forwarding agent is a person or a company who co-ordinates and organizes the movement of shipments on behalf of a shipper by liaising with carriers. The carriers may use a variety of shipping modes, including ships, airplanes, trucks, and railroads, and often use multiple modes for a single shipment. A freight forwarder does not move the goods but acts as an agent in the logistics network and will carry out freight consolidation, rate negotiations, shipment tracking, customs and other documentation, among other tasks. FIATA describes a freight forwarder as the "Architect of transport".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Wind power in the Philippines</span>

Wind power in the Philippines accounts for a total of 443MW as of 2020 according to the Department of Energy, covering about 1.6% of the country's total installed capacity for both renewable and non-renewable energy sources. When it comes to existing renewable energy sources in the country, wind power has a total share of approximately 5.4%. Despite currently being a small contributor to the country's energy mix, wind power installations have increased from 33MW in 2012-2013 to 337MW in 2014, 427MW in 2015-2018, and 443MW in 2019-2021. Moreover, the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Plan (NREP) 2020-2040 aims to commission 2,345MW of total wind power capacity by 2030. There has been a setback, however, as the wind power industry was moderately affected by COVID, particularly in the import of wind turbines. Due to this, several projects such as the Aklan onshore wind project got delayed. To further drive the wind energy sector in the country, an increased demand for renewable energy, greater government commitments, and reduced wind power tariff are needed.
