Q.2 Project Cargo
Thinking outside the box: smart solutions for oversized cargo

With over 50 years of experience in shipping goods of all shapes and sizes, our project cargo team can create safe, secure, and competitive logistics solutions for all types of oversized freight, from aircraft parts to heavy machinery, oil-well equipment, and locomotives. Due to the specialist nature of project cargo, we consider each breakbulk and out-of-gauge shipment on a case-by-case basis, tailoring our solutions around your unique requirements to deliver your cargo to any address in the world.
Breakbulk Solutions
On board vessels, we store your cargo on a pre-prepared bed containing multiple flat racks, providing a safe working environment for stevedores and ensuring compliance with IMO CSS Code Annex 13 requirements. As part of our feasibility studies and preparation, we use 3D modeling to demonstrate handling stowage and lashing requirements. Our team also focuses on loss and claim prevention for very large and/or heavy cargo, ensuring safe and smooth delivery.
Out-of gauge cargo: If your cargo does not fit a standard container, we will carefully load and secure (lash) it onto a platform, single flat rack, or open top unit. Our experts will work with you to create a tailor-made solution for safe and secure delivery. We have access to specialized equipment and handling facilities such as container lift trailers, floating cranes, and cargo securing solutions.
