What does this cover?
Project cargo requires technical review of lifting, securing, route, permits and staged delivery planning.
Cargo type
Project Cargo
Project cargo is quoted per shipment rather than per container, because the price depends on dimensions, weight, lifting points, permits and whether the route takes the load. Where the pieces fit standard equipment the sea transit is 25–35 days door to door to the Gulf and the Americas; where they do not, the plan is built around the cargo.
Large, heavy, irregular or phased project shipments.
