What is Project Cargo?

Project Cargo refers to large, heavy, or complex shipments that need specialist handling and logistics expertise. These aren’t your everyday deliveries—they’re often one-off shipments for industries like oil and gas, mining, construction, energy, and manufacturing. Typical project cargo includes:

  • Power plants and turbines
  • Boilers and generators
  • Wind turbine components
  • Drilling rigs
  • Construction vehicles
  • Aircraft parts

Transporting cargo like this isn’t just about loading it onto a truck or a ship—it requires planning, permits, and the right equipment. That’s where we come in. Our team creates custom transport plans to keep things running smoothly from start to finish.

How Do We Transport Project Cargo?

 

Sea Freight – Reliable & Cost-Effective

For most oversized shipments, sea freight is the way to go. We use:

  • Container Vessels: Great for smaller cargo that fits into standard containers or flat racks, keeping it protected from the elements.
  • RoRo Vessels: Ideal for wheeled or tracked machinery that can be driven straight onto the ship.
  • Breakbulk Vessels: For the truly massive loads—think turbines and construction equipment—these vessels come with onboard cranes for easy loading and unloading.

 

Air Freight – When Time is of the Essence

Need it there fast? Air freight is the quickest option, though it works best for smaller, high-value cargo due to weight and size restrictions.

  • Charter Flights: If your shipment is too big for a standard plane, we can arrange a full aircraft just for you.
  • Cargo Airlines: Some airlines have extra-large aircraft designed for oversized freight. We’ll find the best fit for your cargo.

 

Land Transport – Getting Cargo to its Final Stop

Land transport is often the final step, ensuring your shipment gets from port or airport to its final destination in Australia. Options include:

  • Heavy Haulage: For oversized and abnormal loads, we provide specialist heavy haulage solutions, including pilot escorts, route surveys, and compliance with Australian transport regulations.
  • Road Freight: Perfect for both standard and oversized cargo, offering flexibility in delivery routes and scheduling.
  • Rail Transport: A great option for long-distance shipments, providing high-capacity transport at a lower cost than road freight when suitable.

 

Multimodal Transport – Seamless Movement Across Borders

For the most complex shipments, we combine multiple transport modes to ensure everything runs smoothly.

  • Intermodal Containers: Cargo is packed into containers that can be moved between lorries, trains, and barges without unpacking.
  • RoRo Vessels: When your cargo needs specialist handling but doesn’t fit in standard containers, RoRo is a flexible option.

Real-World Project Cargo Success

We don’t just talk logistics—we deliver. Here are some of the challenging freight projects we’ve handled:

E-Scooters & Batteries – Nationwide Distribution

We managed the import and nationwide distribution of electric scooters, helmets, and batteries. Our team collected DG containers from the port, unpacked, sorted, and palletised the cargo before dispatching it to distribution centres across Australia.

Dairy Export – 200 Pallets to China

Handling temperature-sensitive infant formula required careful logistics. We picked up 200 double-size pallets, stored them in our Melbourne warehouse, loaded them into 12 x 40FQ containers, and arranged all export permits and health certificates before shipping to China.

Excavator Export – Heavy Machinery to China

Shipping a second-hand excavator measuring over 10 metres long and weighing several tonnes was no small feat. We collected it from Corio, VIC, packed and secured it onto a 40FR container, conducted marine inspections, and arranged safe transport to Xingang, China.

Wine Export – Temperature-Controlled Shipping

Premium Australian wine needed protection from heat during transit. We collected pallets from the winery, stored them in our Adelaide warehouse, installed thermal linings in containers, and ensured the shipment travelled under-deck to maintain optimal temperature.

Pump Project – Oversized Shipment to Jakarta

Moving industrial pumps, some weighing up to 13,000 kg, required careful handling. We collected them in NSW, transported them via drop-deck trailer to our Sydney facility for packing, and then shipped them to Jakarta, ensuring a smooth and secure transit.
