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, manufacturing, or energy 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 withstand the rigours of international transport. Our team uses specialised equipment and techniques to safely load, transport, and unload OOG cargo.

What documentation is required for international shipping?

Required documentation typically includes a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, and any necessary permits or licenses. We assist our clients in preparing and submitting all required documentation to ensure smooth customs clearance.

How long does it take to ship cargo from the UK to Buffalo?

Shipping times vary depending on the specific cargo, shipping method, and customs clearance processes. Generally, sea freight can take several weeks, while air freight is significantly faster. We provide estimated transit times based on the specifics of each 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 insurance coverage can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your project and cargo value.

What are the main ports you use for shipments to Buffalo?

While Buffalo is not a major sea port, we typically ship to larger ports such as New York or Montreal and then utilise inland transport options like rail or road to reach Buffalo. We handle all aspects of this multi-modal transport.

How do you ensure the safety of heavy lift cargo?

We ensure the safety of heavy lift cargo through careful planning, the use of specialised lifting equipment, and adherence to strict safety protocols. Our team conducts thorough risk assessments and develops contingency plans to mitigate potential hazards.

Can you handle customs clearance in both the UK and the US?

Yes, we provide comprehensive customs brokerage services in both the UK and the US. Our experienced customs brokers ensure that all necessary paperwork is completed accurately and efficiently, minimising delays and ensuring compliance with all regulations.
