Logistics Over-the-Shore (LOTS)

Logistics Over-the-Shore (LOTS) refers to a method of transporting goods from ships to shore using specialized equipment, such as barges or landing craft, especially in areas without established port facilities. This approach is useful in military operations, disaster relief, or remote locations where traditional docking isn't feasible. By enabling offloading directly onto beaches or other surfaces, LOTS enhances supply chain efficiency and flexibility, allowing for quick delivery of essential materials and resources. It’s a crucial strategy for ensuring access to necessary supplies in diverse and challenging environments.
