Project Cargo Shipping: Heavy and Oversized Moves
5 min read
Project cargo refers to large, heavy, high-value or complex shipments that need special planning and engineering. Think industrial plant, turbines, reactors and oversized structures moved as a coordinated project.
What makes it project cargo
Project cargo exceeds normal handling limits in size, weight or complexity. It often combines specialised vessels or breakbulk, heavy-lift cranes, over-dimensional road moves and detailed route engineering into a single managed project.
How it is planned
- Engineering studies for lifting, securing and transport.
- Route surveys for road, port and site access.
- Specialised equipment such as heavy-lift cranes and modular trailers.
- Close coordination across multiple modes and parties.
