Project Cargo Services
Our project cargo services are tailored for oversized, heavy, or complex shipments typically associated with large-scale projects in industries like oil & gas, construction, mining, or infrastructure. We manage the entire logistics of moving project cargo from origin to destination, which often involves multiple modes of transport and special handling requirements.
Every project begins with meticulous planning. We conduct route surveys to identify any obstacles (such as low bridges or narrow roads), obtain necessary permits, and coordinate with local authorities for transport of out-of-gauge loads. If needed, we arrange for road modifications or escorts (pilot cars) to ensure safe passage of your equipment.
We provide specialized equipment and carriers: heavy-haul trucks and modular multi-axle trailers for land transport, chartered vessels or barges for sea transport of huge units, and even dedicated cargo aircraft for urgent moves of large parts. Cranes and rigging services are arranged at loading and unloading points to handle lifting of extremely heavy items safely.
Our team schedules the sequence of shipments in line with your project timeline. We synchronize delivery of multiple components coming from various origins so that everything arrives when needed for assembly or installation, avoiding costly site delays. If storage is required before final delivery, we secure appropriate laydown yards or warehouses near the site.
We assign a dedicated project manager as a single point of contact. This experienced specialist oversees all aspects – engineering the transport plan, supervising loading operations, tracking the cargo’s progress, and keeping you updated. They ensure that the complex puzzle of project logistics fits together smoothly, transparently, and on budget.
Benefits to Your Business:
- Safe Handling of Critical Assets: Avoid damage to valuable, sensitive project equipment. Our expertise in heavy-lift and out-of-gauge handling means your cargo is moved with utmost care using the right gear and methods, preserving its integrity upon arrival.
- On-Time Project Completion: Keep your project on schedule by entrusting us with the logistics. We coordinate tightly with your project milestones to ensure each piece of equipment – no matter how large – is delivered exactly when and where it’s needed, preventing downtime or construction holdups.
- Risk Mitigation: Large projects involve high stakes. We reduce risks by handling all regulatory compliance (permits, escorts, customs for international moves) and conducting thorough contingency planning. If unforeseen issues arise – weather, port congestion, etc. – we have backup plans to reroute or reschedule shipments, protecting your timeline and budget.
- Cost Control: Through careful planning and mode selection, we optimize the cost of moving heavy equipment. Consolidating shipments, negotiating charter rates, and avoiding last-minute changes help prevent budget overruns in your logistics spend. We provide transparent cost estimates upfront so you can plan accurately and avoid surprises.
- Single-Source Convenience: Rather than dealing with multiple transport providers and agencies, you rely on one experienced partner to manage it all. This simplifies communication and administration for your team. You get regular updates and detailed reports, and can focus on other aspects of the project while we handle the complex logistics execution.
