Heavy Cargo

Heavy Cargo

Out-of-gauge and project cargo with drawings, lift plans, method statements, and the right equipment.

Service overview

How we handle Heavy Cargo

Project and heavy-lift cargo needs drawings, lift plans, and the right equipment. We coordinate surveys, lashing, and route studies before anyone books a vessel or a crane. A standard container is used only when it is safe and legal. Otherwise we plan open-top, flat-rack, breakbulk, or a combination, with port opening times and escorts where the route requires them. Insurance surveyors and the customer’s project team receive the same method statement. Nothing is labelled “live tracking” unless a provider is actually connected to the asset.

FAQ

Sometimes, with open-top or flat-rack equipment. We will say so if a standard box is unsafe or illegal.

We coordinate crane vendors. Ownership of the lift remains with the contracted lifting company.

Weeks, not days. Permits, port openings, and special equipment drive the critical path.
