Logistics Management

Services

Services Shore Tankering Services

Whether your transfer involves a high hazard product such as phenol, aniline, or acrylonitrile, a specialty process such as ship bunkering, ship lighterings, or nitrogen purging, or simply a non-hazardous transfer that requires prompt, predictable professional service, Kirby Inland Marine-Logistics Management shore tankermen can handle the job.

In-Plant Operations Services

Logistics Management provides highly skilled and trained personnel to operate marine dock facilities and supplemental staff for various in-plant and terminal operations, such as rail car/tank truck loading and unloading, tank farm operations, and switching operations.

Training

Since its founding, Logistics Management’s success has been driven by three overarching beliefs: first, provide operational excellence in fulfilling customer requirements; second, furnish only the most reliable, highly trained and professional personnel to our customers; and third, offer high value, prompt predictable services.

The key to implementing these beliefs is found in one of the core competencies of Logistics Management, providing state-of-the-art training for all personnel, regardless of assignment. For example, all Logistics Management shore tankermen have not only completed required U.S. Coast Guard training, but have also passed competency-based exams in areas such as the safe handling of hazardous cargoes and the performance of specialized tankering processes, including ship bunkering and nitrogen purging.

Both shore tankermen and in-plant operators participate in Kirby’s extensive safety program. Monthly safety meetings, the implementation of Behavior-Based Safety processes, ISO 9000 certified procedures, and extensive training in Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response, first aid/CPR and fire fighting ensure that safety is the primary concern in all facets of both training and operations.
