Energy & Industrial

Out-of-gauge, heavy-lift and breakbulk moves for wind, oil and gas, power and heavy industry, planned from route survey to site delivery.

WHY IT IS DIFFERENT

Heavy, oversized and on a project deadline

Energy and industrial projects move cargo that is heavy, oversized and scheduled around installation windows. The logistics plan is part of the project plan: if a vessel misses its slot or a road permit is late, installation crews and equipment wait.

LOGISTICS REQUIREMENTS

What this cargo needs from a forwarder

  • Out-of-gauge planning — dimensions, weight and centre of gravity confirmed before routing.

  • Route surveys — bridges, bends, overhead lines and ground-bearing capacity checked.

  • Heavy-lift and breakbulk capacity — the right vessel type and port for the lift.

  • Project coordination — sequence and timing aligned with installation.

  • Engineering documentation — lift plans and lashing calculations for review.

HOW WE HANDLE IT

Planned around the cargo, not the rate sheet.

Our project cargo team plans each move as an engineered sequence, working with specialist partners for surveys and lift studies. Rotterdam and Houston handle most of our energy work, with Dubai coordinating Middle East projects.

TYPICAL CARGO

  • Wind-turbine blades, nacelles, towers and monopiles

  • Transformers and generators

  • Process modules and skids

  • Pipes and steel structures

  • Heavy machinery and spare parts

COMPLIANCE NOTES

Oversized road moves need permits, escorts and sometimes road closures from local authorities. Lead times vary by country and route, so we request them early in the plan.
