Project Cargo

Project Cargo is the freight category for oversized, overweight, or otherwise complex shipments that cannot be moved through standard container logistics — typically capital equipment for energy, infrastructure, mining, and industrial projects. Examples: wind turbine blades and nacelles, transformer cores, pressure vessels, refinery columns, mining excavators, generator sets, prefabricated factory modules.

Project cargo is also called OOG (Out of Gauge) when dimensions exceed standard container limits (typically more than 20'/40' container internal dimensions) or break-bulk when shipped without containers as standalone units lashed to vessel decks.

Project cargo workflows are bespoke per shipment: route survey (bridge clearances, weight-bearing roads, port crane capacities), specialised equipment (heavy-lift trailers, modular SPMTs, crawler cranes), regulatory permits, multi-leg sequencing across sea/road/rail/air, lashing engineering, and stakeholder coordination (often dozens of parties). One project shipment can have a higher freight value than 1000 standard containers.
