Project Cargo Logistics for Complex Shipments
Project cargo logistics is a highly specialized service for the shipping industry. Here, we’ll take a look at what project cargo logistics entails, from the types of cargo involved, to the process of working with a freight forwarder to find a solution.
What is project cargo logistics?
Project cargo logistics involves the process of transporting oversized and/or sensitive freight. This type of cargo is usually more complex and comes with additional considerations, such as special equipment and crucial coordination because of size, complexity, and value. Aeronet Worldwide has experience transporting temperature-sensitive semiconductor equipment. This type of equipment must be kept within a certain temperature range from pickup to delivery. To ensure that the equipment is not damaged, special climate-controlled trucks and planes are used, as well as temperature-controlled warehouses. Aeronet can also provide a packing/rigging team – experts in handling this type of equipment, who take extra precautions when packing and unpacking the cargo.
Why is project cargo logistics vital?
Project cargo logistics are vital because they enable businesses to transport oversized and sensitive freight safely and efficiently. This type of cargo can be essential machinery or capital equipment, thus, very difficult to transport. For example, many construction projects require large and heavy equipment, such as excavators and bulldozers. This type of equipment is too big and too heavy to transport on a regular truck or plane. Instead, it must be transported on a specialized heavy-haul truck or low-bed trailer. And because of the size and weight of this type of cargo, it is often difficult to find a route that can accommodate it. That is the responsibility of the project cargo logistics company to obtain the necessary permits and route the shipment accordingly.
How does project cargo logistics work?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the process of transporting project cargo can vary greatly depending on the type and size of the freight, as well as the destination. However, in general, the process involves finding a transportation option that is both timely and within budget, while also considering any special conditions or requirements. Once a transportation option has been decided upon, the freight is typically packed and/or rigged for transport, and then taken to the airport or seaport for loading, then off to its destination. The mode of transportation used will vary, and needs to be appropriate in order to match the requirements of the freight, and to avoid damage.
