Project Logistics from China – Heavy Lift & Oversized Cargo Solutions

We provide end-to-end project logistics services for oversized, overweight, and complex cargo. From route surveys and permits to special equipment, breakbulk shipping, and on-site delivery, our experts ensure safe and timely transportation worldwide.

Overview

  • What is Project Logistics?

    Project logistics refers to the specialized management and transportation of oversized, overweight, and high-value cargo that cannot be shipped through standard freight solutions.

    Unlike regular ocean or air freight, project logistics requires a customized, engineering-driven approach to ensure safe, efficient, and timely delivery.

  • Route survey & feasibility studies

    Assessing roads, ports, and bridges to determine the safest path.

  • Specialized equipment & vessels

    Flat racks, open-top containers, breakbulk, Ro-Ro, or heavy-lift ships.

  • Regulatory compliance

    permits, customs clearance, and safety certifications.

  • On-site handling & delivery

    From factory pick-up in China to project sites worldwide.

Why Do You Need Project Logistics?

Not all cargo can be shipped through standard freight solutions. When dealing with oversized, overweight, or highly specialized equipment, project logistics becomes essential to ensure safe and efficient delivery.

Here are the main reasons why businesses rely on project logistics:

  • Oversized and Heavy Cargo

    Large transformers, wind turbine components, or oilfield machinery often exceed the limits of standard containers and require special handling.

  • Infrastructure and Route Challenges

    Roads, bridges, and ports may have restrictions on size, weight, or height. A professional route survey ensures feasibility and prevents costly delays.

  • Complex Regulations and Permits

    Moving project cargo across borders requires multiple permits, customs clearances, and compliance with international safety standards.

  • Special Equipment and Transport Modes

    Heavy-lift vessels, Ro-Ro ships, multi-axle trailers, and cranes are necessary to handle unusual dimensions and weights.

  • Risk Mitigation

    Project logistics includes proper packaging, securing, insurance, and contingency planning to reduce risks of damage, loss, or delays.

  • End-to-End Delivery

    From pick-up at the factory in China to final on-site delivery worldwide, project logistics ensures a complete, seamless solution.

In short, project logistics is not just shipping—it is a tailored, engineering-driven process designed to move complex cargo safely, compliantly, and on time.
