Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered project cargo?
Project cargo typically refers to oversized, overweight, or high-value goods that require specialised handling and transportation due to their dimensions, weight, or complexity. This can include industrial equipment, construction materials, and infrastructure components.
How do you handle out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo?
We handle OOG cargo by securing it on flat racks or platforms. Our team ensures that the cargo is properly loaded, lashed, and secured to meet international safety standards. We also coordinate any necessary permits and escorts for oversized shipments.
What is breakbulk shipping?

The specific customs documentation required varies depending on the origin and destination countries, as well as the type of cargo being shipped. Generally, you will need a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, and potentially certificates of origin or other permits. Our customs brokerage team can assist you in preparing and submitting the necessary documentation.
