Project Cargo & RoRo Shipping

Project cargo refers to oversized, overweight, or complex shipments that cannot be handled with standard containers or equipment. This includes industrial machinery, power plant components, wind turbines, offshore equipment, and large-scale construction materials.

Ideally 6–12 weeks minimum for complex moves. This allows time for route surveys, permit applications, specialized equipment sourcing, and carrier coordination. We've managed emergency project cargo in under 2 weeks when required.

Yes. We coordinate with specialized heavy-lift carriers and cranes for pieces up to thousands of metric tons. Our team manages all aspects — breakbulk vessel chartering, port coordination, inland convoy logistics, and insurance.

It depends on jurisdiction and carrier requirements. We work with you to drain, clean, and certify equipment prior to shipment — or arrange IMDG-compliant handling for equipment retaining residual fluids. We handle all DG declarations and port authority requirements.

Project cargo refers to large, heavy, high-value, or complex shipments that require specialized handling and transport planning. This includes industrial equipment, turbines, transformers, prefabricated structures, mining equipment, and construction machinery that cannot fit in standard containers.

Project cargo can move on breakbulk vessels, heavy-lift ships, Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessels, flat rack containers on container ships, or chartered vessels. The choice depends on cargo dimensions, weight, port infrastructure, and schedule requirements.

Route planning for oversized cargo involves detailed surveys of port capabilities, road clearances, bridge heights, turning radii, and permit requirements. Our project cargo team conducts site surveys and works with local authorities to identify the safest, most efficient route from origin to final destination.

Given the high value and unique nature of project cargo, we recommend All-Risk marine cargo insurance with coverage tailored to the specific equipment value, transit mode, and route. Suaid Global works with specialized marine insurers to arrange appropriate coverage for each project.

Yes. Proper lashing and securing is critical for project cargo safety. Our team creates detailed stowage and lashing plans, uses certified lashing materials, and supervises loading operations to ensure cargo is secured according to IMO and SOLAS regulations.

Yes. Most project cargo requires multi-modal transport combining ocean, barge, rail, and specialized road transport. Suaid Global coordinates all legs as a single integrated operation, managing handoffs between modes and ensuring seamless delivery to the final installation site.
