Glossary / Project & heavy cargo

Project cargo

Also: project logistics · heavy & oversized freight

Freight that’s too large, heavy or complex to move as standard containerized cargo — machinery, industrial plant, generators, construction and mining equipment — usually shipped as one engineered move rather than a routine booking. Project cargo combines out-of-gauge or breakbulk ocean, permitted heavy haul inland, and tight scheduling, with a single coordinator owning the critical path so vessel cutoffs, permit lead times and site windows all line up.
