FAQ

Project cargo, answered

What industrial and infrastructure shippers ask us before moving heavy or oversized cargo.
Ask us directly
or call +1 (646) 722-0968

What is project cargo?

+
Project cargo is heavy, oversized, out-of-gauge or complex freight, such as industrial machinery or equipment, that needs specialized planning, equipment and documentation to travel from origin to destination. In the U.S., loads wider than 8 ft 6 in or heavier than 80,000 pounds gross need state oversize and overweight permits, and ocean cargo that does not fit a 20 or 40 ft container moves on flat rack, open top or break-bulk.

What do your project cargo services include?

+
Selecting the right equipment and carriers, route planning and compliance with relevant regulations, plus packing and crating, loading and unloading, transportation by road, rail, sea or air, customs clearance at international borders, and documentation. Wooden crates and dunnage for export must be heat-treated or fumigated and stamped under ISPM 15.

Can you ship cargo that does not fit in a container?

+
Yes. We provide break-bulk ocean freight services for shippers of goods unsuitable for containerization, with access to vessels operating in our trade lanes exclusively. Flat racks and open-top containers carry out-of-gauge cargo, while break-bulk vessels take pieces that exceed container dimensions or weight, secured by lashing.

Where do you move project cargo?

+
Throughout Northern, Central and South America and worldwide, including transits over land to remote areas and ocean or air transportation via key gateways. Gateways are chosen by lifting capacity and draft: the port needs cranes rated for the heaviest piece, and heavy-lift or break-bulk vessels call at fewer ports than container ships.

Can a project ship in stages?

+
Yes. Project cargo is not always possible to ship in a single voyage, so we determine the most cost-efficient way to reach destination: one trip or a staged sequence of shipments. Each stage needs its own bill of lading and customs entry, and a master packing list ties them to the project so the receiving site can assemble components in sequence.

Do you arrange aircraft or vessel charters?

+
Yes. For destinations not served by standard air or sea trade lanes, or cargo that demands unusual transportation capabilities, we arrange aircraft or vessel charter at competitive rates. Vessel charters are written on a charter party (GENCON is the common standard form), and aircraft charters are booked by the whole aircraft.

How does a project cargo forwarder reduce costs?

+
Forwarders build partnerships with specialist carriers and negotiate realistic transportation rates. Compared with a shipper negotiating directly with shipping lines, airlines or road carriers, those lower rates mean significant cost savings, especially on complex projects. Savings also come from fewer handoffs: one forwarder coordinates carriers, heavy-haul permits, customs and documentation as one project, which cuts rework and delay costs.

How do I get a project cargo quote?

+
Send the dimensions, weight, origin, destination and dates through the form or call us. Dani replies within one business day with the route, the equipment and the rate. Include piece count, length, width, height and weight per piece, lifting points and whether the cargo can be disassembled, since these decide the equipment and route.
