Juno's Project Cargo team was selected to manage the transportation, storage, and delivery of specialized glass components for a major construction project in Cleveland, Ohio. The cargo originated in Bremerhaven, Germany, and moved through multiple U.S. ports before final delivery to the project site near Cleveland's downtown arena district.

From the outset, the project presented several unique challenges. Manufacturing schedules, transportation timelines, and installation requirements were not aligned, making traditional delivery methods impractical. To support the project's construction schedule, Juno collaborated closely with overseas manufacturers, installation crews, port operators, carriers, and site personnel to develop a customized logistics plan that ensured critical materials were available precisely when needed.

Because of the fragile nature of the cargo and limited storage capacity at the job site, Juno created a comprehensive storage and inventory management strategy that provided immediate access to priority materials while minimizing handling throughout the project. This approach reduced risk, improved efficiency, and supported changing installation requirements as construction progressed.

The project involved coordinating shipments through multiple U.S. gateways, including ports in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, before final delivery to Cleveland. Specialized handling procedures were implemented for glass transported in open-top containers, ensuring cargo integrity throughout each phase of the journey.

To accommodate site restrictions and municipal requirements, Juno coordinated nearly 40 precision-scheduled early morning deliveries, including street permit management and carefully timed arrivals. Each shipment was planned to support active construction operations while minimizing disruption to the surrounding area.

Over the course of the project, approximately 1.26 million pounds of materials were successfully delivered to the site. Through detailed planning, continuous communication, and disciplined cargo handling procedures, the project achieved a 0% breakage rate—an important accomplishment given the size, value, and fragility of the materials involved.
