Project and heavy cargo
Some cargo is too large, too heavy or too awkward for a standard container. Moving it takes planning before anything is booked. We lay out the route, the equipment and the permits to ask about, and bring in specialists where the work needs them.
Breakbulk
Breakbulk is cargo shipped piece by piece, not in a container, such as steel items, machinery parts or large crates.
When to use it
When the pieces are too long, wide or heavy for a container but can be lifted onto a ship by normal means.
What we handle
- Booking space on suitable vessels
- Coordinating delivery to the port and loading
- Lashing and securing instructions with the carrier
- Cargo documents
- Coordinating discharge and onward delivery
What to send us for a quote
A packing list with the size and weight of each piece, drawings or photos, origin, destination, ready date, and any lifting points marked on the cargo.

Out-of-gauge cargo is too big for a standard container. Heavy-lift cargo is a single piece so heavy it needs special cranes.
When to use it
For oversized machinery, large industrial parts, or any single piece that exceeds normal size or weight limits.
What we handle
- Finding vessels and equipment that accept the dimensions
- Coordinating cranes, trailers and handling at each stop
- Asking about permits and escorts for road movements
- Coordinating specialists where the lift or the route needs them
What to send us for a quote
Exact length, width, height and weight of each piece, drawings with the centre of gravity and lifting points, origin, destination, and site access details.

- Sequencing shipments against your site schedule
