Project Cargo and Bulk Cargo Service

Expert Logistics for Your Most Challenging Shipments

Mastering the complexities of project cargo and bulk cargo. We deliver customized, end-to-end solutions for your oversized, heavy-lift, and high-volume consignments.

What Are Project Cargo and Bulk Cargo?

While standard shipping containers handle the majority of global trade, some shipments defy conventional dimensions and methods. This is where specialized expertise becomes critical.

Project Cargo: This refers to the transportation of large, heavy, high-value, or complex pieces of equipment, often for specific industrial projects in sectors like energy, construction, and manufacturing. These are typically "out-of-gauge" (OOG) shipments that cannot fit into standard containers, requiring meticulous planning, specialized equipment, and precise execution.
Bulk Cargo: This involves shipping large quantities of unpackaged commodity goods, loaded directly into the vessel's hold. Bulk cargo can be either dry (like grain, coal, iron ore) or liquid (like oil and chemicals), and it requires specialized vessels and port handling capabilities.

At Vansh Maritime, we possess the dedicated expertise and robust network to manage these complex logistical challenges from start to finish.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between project cargo and break bulk?

Project cargo is a subset of break bulk. Break bulk refers to any cargo that is loaded individually and not in a container. Project cargo specifically refers to the large, oversized, or heavy break bulk items that are part of a specific project and require extensive planning.

OOG cargo refers to any shipment whose dimensions exceed the internal measurements of a standard 20ft or 40ft shipping container. It requires special equipment like flat-rack or open-top containers, or it needs to be loaded directly onto a vessel.

The planning is extensive and can include site visits, route surveys to check for road widths and bridge heights, selection of specialized lifting and transport equipment, coordination with multiple authorities for permits, and detailed risk assessments.

We have extensive experience with a wide range of dry bulk commodities. Please contact us to discuss the specific requirements for your liquid bulk or other specialized bulk materials.
