What is Project Cargo?

These are cargoes that exceed the size and weight standards of conventional transport. Whether it's industrial equipment, an aircraft part or a wind turbine, these cargoes require greater care and customized solutions for each stage of the logistics chain.

International Logistics of Project Cargo

This logistical challenge requires the choice of a suitable mode, considering various factors such as cargo dimensions, distance to be traveled, and the infrastructure available at ports and airports.

Air Freight: Ideal for urgent and high-value cargo, air transport uses cargo aircraft specially equipped to accommodate large volumes.

Sea Freight: The most economical option for long distances, sea transport offers a variety of ships, such as breakbulk, roll-on-off, and those equipped with special containers for project cargo.

Road Freight: Complements other modes, being used for the transport of cargo to the port or airport and, in some cases, for short-distance deliveries.
