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, or manufacturing projects.
How do you handle out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo?
We handle OOG cargo by securing it on flat racks or platforms, ensuring it is properly lashed and braced to prevent shifting during transit. Our team carefully plans the loading and unloading process to minimise risks.
What documentation is required for international shipping?
Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and any permits or licenses required by the importing country. We assist our clients in preparing and managing all necessary documentation.
How long does it take to ship cargo from the UK to Ranchi?
Shipping times vary depending on the specific cargo, shipping method (sea or air), and customs clearance processes. Generally, sea freight can take several weeks, while air freight is significantly faster but more expensive. We provide estimated transit times based on the specifics of your shipment.
Do you offer insurance for project cargo?
Yes, we offer cargo insurance options to protect your shipment against loss or damage during transit. Our team can help you select the appropriate coverage based on the value and nature of your cargo.

We utilise major Indian ports such as Nhava Sheva (Mumbai), Chennai, Kolkata, and Mundra, depending on the final destination and the most efficient route for your cargo.
