Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered project cargo?
Project cargo refers to shipments that are oversized, overweight, or require specialised handling due to their dimensions or nature. This often includes equipment for construction, energy, and manufacturing projects.
How do you handle out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo?
We secure OOG cargo on flat racks or platforms, ensuring it is properly loaded and braced to prevent shifting during transit. Our team plans each step meticulously, considering the cargo's dimensions and weight distribution.
What documentation is required for international project cargo shipping?
Required documentation typically includes commercial invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, certificates of origin, and any permits or licenses required by the origin and destination countries. We assist with navigating these requirements.
How long does it take to ship project cargo from the UK to Belo Horizonte?
Transit times vary depending on the specific cargo, shipping route, and customs clearance processes. We provide estimated transit times during the planning phase and keep you updated throughout the shipment.
Do you offer insurance for project cargo shipments?
Yes, we offer cargo insurance options to protect your valuable shipments against loss or damage during transit. Our team can advise on the appropriate level of coverage for your specific needs.
What are the main ports used for shipping to Belo Horizonte?
While Belo Horizonte is inland, cargo typically arrives via major Brazilian ports such as Santos or Vitória, and is then transported overland. We manage the entire process, including port handling and inland transportation.
How do you ensure the safety of heavy lift cargo during transport?
We use specialised lifting equipment, securement techniques, and detailed planning to ensure the safety of heavy lift cargo. Our team conducts thorough risk assessments and develops contingency plans to mitigate potential hazards.
