Project cargo

Project cargo is the maritime transportation of goods considered special due to their size or weight. They are more complex to move because they cannot be placed in ordinary containers and a particular system needs to be designed to take them from the factory to their destination, which is why they often involve multimodal transportation.

Project cargo vessels are set up to store large goods of heavy tonnage, either in the holds or on the decks. There are also Flo/Flo vessels that use the float-on/float-off system to submerge the ship up to the deck to facilitate loading and unloading.

Extra-heavy, oversized and hazardous goods are often linked to the oil and gas, petrochemical, mining, electricity or energy industries, such as wind and offshore energy. At SUARDIAZ Group, we provide project cargo services to these and other sectors, such as civil construction, industrial plants and infrastructure.

We deal with logistics requests from companies needing advice before choosing the best route, such as information about the import report and exemptions for the nearest ports. We manage everything involved in foreign trade for any sector and country, researching the limitations and adapting the transportation strategy.

Yes, at SUARDIAZ Group, we can load and unload hazardous goods, always attending to safety regulations to protect the individuals handling them and the environment during transfer.

With maritime transportation, we follow the International Maritime Organization (IMO) recommendations and for roads, we adhere to the Agreement on Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) for hazardous goods. As such, our vessels and vehicles feature emergency signs and plans, they ensure the sender’s documentation is in order and they have a team that is trained to follow the safety protocol and emergency procedures in the event of an incident.

As a leading company in comprehensive logistics consulting, SUARDIAZ Group offers a multimodal transportation service for special goods. The solutions we offer are customised to each project because the route is designed according to the characteristics of the cargo, as well as the current legislation in each country it is travelling through.
