Certificates Industrial Projects Case

We don't take your heavy-lift cargo & projects lightly

We take action

Anywhere in the world.

Capital equipment

Many others

Count on the right equipment and facilities

Getting it just right is our service

Trucks, cranes, barges, tugboats, self-propelled vehicles, RO/RO etc. – whatever specialty equipment is required to get your breakbulk cargo to the right place at the right time, we take care of commissioning, installation, site planning and final delivery of your heavy lift project.

And if you need warehousing, laydown yards/interim to long-term storage, maintenance of materials, loadings and stuffings, it’s part of our uncompromising offer to you.

Our IOSH & HSE & AEO certified experts will ensure that the site work, including offloading and final positioning, is carried out according to local rules and regulations.

You can safely leave your odd-size materials and parts with us.

All over the world is our playground. Nothing is too heavy. Everything is doable. You are welcome to test us.

From and to: part of the solution

Never the problem

To the top of a high-plateau basin, via a shallow waterway on a river barge, or pickup in a hard-to-reach place – missing infrastructure or challenging circumstances don’t stop us.

There’s never a straight line between A and B.

That is why our project experts are creative-minded and think outside the box. From pre-contract and planning support to project closure assistance, we are committed to customising the heavy project transport solution specifically to your needs.

All the way.

Don’t take our word for it

3 essential features you should consider about us before we team up

Firstly - how would you like to partner with someone who shares uncomfortable truths to keep momentum rather than cover it up in pleasantries or postpone the inevitable?
That’s us.

Secondly - our command lines are short because we value quick and accurate communication with you to allow for flexibility in the face of changes or circumstances.

Last but not least, the same applies to economic or environmental trends pointing to new markets for large-scale project transport – we call you before you call us.

In addition, and in close collaboration with our Industrial Project experts, we perform route and port surveys, stowage plans and varied chartering requirements as part of our planning and preparation, including customs brokerage, export declarations and permits and much more.

Does it make you at ease knowing this?

Then let us take the weight off your shoulders - we’ve got your heavy-lift project.

Full, half, or part charter - as your experienced end-to-end project experts, we’ll charter just the space you need.

The global transport and logistics landscape continues to be plagued by an array of geopolitical impacts that effectively have squashed any hope of stability for the remainder of the year. While temporary US tariffs deals are entered into at a steady pace, the fact remains that uncertainty is ever present, pushing global supply chains into a “stop & go” mode, spiced with occasional demand ketchup effects.
