When it comes to transporting oversized, heavy-lift, high-value, or mission-critical cargo, Project Cargo Handling requires a level of logistics precision that goes far beyond routine shipping. It involves custom planning, specialized equipment, regulatory approvals, and real time coordination from origin to final destination. At King Shipping Trading, we are specialists in managing complex, large-scale, and time-sensitive cargo movements for industries like oil & gas, construction, energy, maritime, and government.
With a proven track record, global reach, and in-house technical expertise, King Shipping Trading (KST) is the trusted partner you need to manage your next project cargo operation safely and successfully.
Project Cargo, also known as heavy-lift cargo or breakbulk logistics, refers to the transportation of large, complex, or high-value pieces of equipment or materials that cannot be transported using standard shipping methods. It often includes:
- Out-of-gauge (OOG) equipment
- Heavy machinery
- Prefabricated modules
- Oilfield rigs or subsea components
- Transformers, turbines, or large industrial parts
- Construction and infrastructure materials
- Military and humanitarian relief supplies
Project cargo operations typically involve multimodal transport (road, sea, rail, and sometimes air), route surveys, permits, escorts, and on-site cargo handling all managed with precision and expertise.
Key Challenges in Project Cargo Handling
- Weight and Size Restrictions
Many project cargo items exceed standard size and weight limits, requiring specialized transport planning and engineering. - Route Planning and Feasibility Studies
Oversized cargo often requires route surveys to identify obstacles such as low bridges, narrow roads, or weak infrastructure. - Handling and Lifting Equipment
Heavy-duty cranes, hydraulic jacks, forklifts, and custom rigging are essential for safe cargo loading/unloading. - Permits and Escort Requirements
Government permits, customs approvals, and sometimes police escorts are required for moving abnormal loads. - Time-Sensitive Coordination
Delays at any stage can affect overall project schedules, so timing, staging, and contingency planning are critical.
