Transportation of Project Cargo

Project cargo includes freight that is voluminous, either by weight, size or quantity, and should not be transported over public roads, since its transportation can damage bridge pillars, public road pavement, etc. For transportation of such cargo a special project with a particular route is to be developed.

Transportation of project cargos is one of the priorities of SWTrans Company. Specialists of the company have a many years’ experience in project cargo transportation (equipment and building materials for plants and factories, heavy vehicles).

SWTrans Company ships project cargos by all modes of transport: by sea, river, combined sea-river transport, truck, and railway.

SWTrans experts develop complex logistics programs for the shipment of project cargo to CIS, EU, and the whole world. The development of the program for project cargo transportation includes calculation of expenditure for transportation, analysis of transit and transshipment options, designing and ordering special equipment. During transportation of project cargos, an important factor is partner relationships with organizations authorized to plan itineraries, since you often have to raise power transmission lines or even change the landscape.

SWTrans provides high quality forwarding services due to its own advanced specialty equipment (low lift trucks, single step deck trailers, module trailers, etc.) that helps carry out unique project operations.

Inland and international project cargo transportation includes:
• Working out a detailed transportation plan;
• Coordination of the itinerary with relevant authorities and getting the required permissions;
• Transport mode selection;
• Loading/unloading and assembly works using heavy-duty Liebherr and Groove platform cranes;
• Cargo monitoring;
• If necessary, cargo guarding and escorting (escort cars and road police cars);
• Freight insurance.
