Project Cargo
Project cargo is complex cargo which does not fit into the standard dimensions or weight restrictions of mass container freight and requires a specialist freight forwarder to manage the shipment.
Project cargo cannot be handled like normal freight, it often requires specialist moving equipment, and transportation of the freight often requires complex planning, demanding a team of local and global associates with a hands on approach to ensure your freight is handled responsibly.
Mercator Cargo’s global network and associations with over 225 other independent freight forwarders in over 82 countries, means they are able to call on a wealth of global freight transportation and freight forwarder knowledge, reducing costs and providing a comprehensive freight forwarder service for project cargo.
In addition to normal freight forwarder procedures, Mercator Cargo also takes the following factors into consideration when working with project cargo:
- Awareness of Risk Factors
- Analysing Critical Aspects
- Organising Specialised Transit
- Loading and Unloading Procedures
- Onboard Arrangements
- Contingency Plans
