PROJECT
CARGO

Project cargo is typically associated with large scale construction and maintenance projects, including oil and gas, mining, wind, and solar projects. All these industries require large, heavy, or complex pieces of machinery or equipment, which must be delivered on time and undamaged to prevent delays with the overall project.

While project cargo is frequently associated with shipping oversized or over dimensional cargo, it’s also about ensuring that all risks, delays, and potential problems are mitigated as far as possible. That’s where working with a dedicated project cargo partner like MSC can make a significant difference. We understand the requirements of planning and executing project cargo and out of gauge shipments, and our attention to detail enables us to deliver flexible, bespoke solutions for our customers.

There are various ways to transport oversized cargo, depending on the commodity. The main forms of transportation generally include trucks, cranes, railways, planes, and of course shipments.

Because of how it is used, project cargo tends to have a specific timeframe or delivery date, meaning that it’s crucial to work with a shipping company like MSC who understand how to organize detailed, complicated logistics solutions.

Throughout our project cargo solution, we break each process down into smaller pieces. This way each step is meticulously designed to ensure the safe and timely delivery of your cargo. For each project, our experts will advise you on the most ideal lashings and crating. We will also ensure that any required inland transportation has been organised and follows all guidelines and safety measures.

We also understand the importance of great coordination throughout your project cargo shipment to avoid unnecessary delays. Along with our global port coverage, we will work closely with the port to make sure the right equipment is available to unload the cargo and reload correctly onboard the vessel.
