Project Cargo Logistics for Air and Seafreight Consignments

Project Logistics is the process of managing the movement of project cargo from its collection at origin through to delivery at the final destination.

Project cargo refers to specialised freight that is Out of Gauge, Heavylift or Dangerous. If any goods exceed the standard container dimensions by length, width or height, they are considered out of gauge.

The handling of these type of goods is complex by nature and requires specialist knowledge and expertise.

Each individual project has its own unique challenges and requires meticulous planning and precise implementation processes.

Our Bespoke Project Logistic Processes

Each individual project has its own unique challenges and requires meticulous planning and precise implementation processes. Over the years we have developed our own unique brand of operating procedures that underpin every project.

After our initial contact with a client, our team will thoroughly investigate each of the following steps which will enable us to compile a detailed report and cost analysis.

What we do:

• Undertake feasibility and Engineering studies

• Conduct Route surveys

• Check Customs/Quarantine requirements

• Check Duty/Tax exposure

• Check availability and compliance of all lifting gear

• Check all road, sea and air transport options and their associated costs

• Engage the relevant Powerhouse office or agent in the country of origin

Once we have completed all the steps our final report is compiled and presented to our client together with our detailed cost analysis.

The next stage involves a follow-up with our client during which any questions or reservations can be discussed and clarified.

Finally once we receive our client’s instruction to proceed, our project team begins by activating our transport plan which includes the engagement of all the relevant operators involved.
