What do show dance and logistics have in common? More than you might think. Success doesn’t happen on stage or at the destination by chance. It takes planning, teamwork, precision, trust, and countless hours of preparation behind the scenes.

As a proud sponsor of Kipinä LIT Fusion from Kipinä Dance School Vaasa, Finland, we congratulate the team on representing Finland at the European Show Dance Championships in Slovenia.👏 We are always happy to support the next generation of talented young people who show what determination and teamwork can achieve.

We are pleased to announce that Hacklin Managing Director Marianne Blechingberg will continue her work on The Heavy Lift Group (THLG) Executive Committee and take on the role of Treasurer for the coming term.

THLG 2026 Executive Committee Confirmed in The Hague

The Heavy Lift Group confirmed its Executive Committee following elections held during the group’s 74th Conference in The Hague. Members re-elected Elisabeth Cosmatos as President and Alessio Bianchi as Admissions Officer. Marianne Blechingberg will continue her tenure on the Executive Committee and assume responsibility as Treasurer, while Richard Lee will continue as Corporate Responsibility & Sponsorships Manager.

Joining the Executive Committee as a newly elected member is Donald Kinsella, who will serve as Business Development Officer. Members also elected Ragan Watson, MBA and Sanjna as THLG’s Ad Hoc (stand-by) Executive Committee members, providing additional support and continuity to the group’s leadership structure.

Supporting Global Project Cargo and Heavy Lift Collaboration

Built on collaboration, trust, and shared expertise, THLG brings together leading project cargo and heavy lift specialists from around the world. The newly elected Executive Committee will continue to guide the organization’s development, strengthen cooperation among members, and support growth across the global project cargo community.

The elections, conducted in line with THLG’s member-driven and democratic principles, reflect the confidence placed in the leadership team to steer the organization forward. THLG also expressed its sincere appreciation to Colin D’Abreo for his dedicated service as Treasurer and Executive Committee member, recognizing his valuable contribution to the organization.

Looking Ahead to the Future of The Heavy Lift Group

We congratulate Marianne and the entire newly elected Executive Committee and wish them every success in the years ahead as they continue to strengthen collaboration, growth, and excellence throughout the THLG network.

Thank you, Breakbulk Europe 2026! This event is more than just business for us. Of course, it’s where we meet our partners and clients, but just as importantly, it’s where the Hacklin team comes together. Thank you for the energy, the conversations, and the connections.

See you in 2027!

As Finland prepares to celebrate Midsummer – a time to pause, enjoy the light nights, and recharge – we would like to inform that Hacklin offices in Finland will be closed on Friday, 19 June 2026. We hope everyone has a relaxing and bright Midsummer, whether by the water, in nature, or with family and friends. Wishing everyone a joyful Midsummer from all of us at Hacklin Logistics! 🌿☀️

Logistics brings people together, and sometimes even a few unexpected team members. 🐾 We had the pleasure of welcoming Eric Wang 王海 from Hacklin Shanghai and our valued Indian partner to our Espoo office. Beyond meetings, the real value was in simply spending time together.
One of the highlights of the visit was our office dog Noki, who seemed to naturally take on the role of a logistics professional calmly observing, staying close to the group, and ensuring everyone remained connected. Moments like these remind us: there are people behind every shipment, every project, and every solution.

Are rising logistics costs and increasing uncertainty already part of your daily reality? The newly published Logistics Survey 2025 highlights several key trends shaping the Finnish logistics landscape:

▶️ Logistics costs now average 14.4% of turnover
▶️ More than half of costs are generated within companies’ internal processes
▶️ Demand volatility, political uncertainty and regulatory changes remain the biggest sources of supply chain disruption
▶️ Availability of critical transport equipment continues to challenge operations

At the same time, companies’ resilience is improving, but differences still exist.

A big thank you to Suomen Osto- ja Logistiikkayhdistys LOGY ry for sharing these insights, and to the research team at Turun yliopisto – University of Turku for producing this comprehensive study. 👏

The National Logistics Survey Finland 2025 was carried out with funding from the National Emergency Supply Agency’s (Huoltovarmuuskeskus) Logistics 2030 programme.
