Project cargo explained

Project cargo shipping is about carrying complex, oversize cargo weighing over 100 tons, which
are intended to be used for specific purposes. Let us give you a couple of examples of project
cargo:

  1. production and factory lines;
  2. large loads of heavy road machinery;
  3. agricultural machinery and equipment for construction tasks;
  4. industrial machinery and machine tools;
  5. steel shapes and constructions;
  6. strong architectural elements;
  7. other abnormal cargo with special handling and transportation requirements.

Complex equipment and several transportation methods are needed for the execution of
project cargo shipping projects. UTO guarantees adequate coordination of the work of all
professionals involved in the cargo move.

First-class coordination is so important because project cargo shipping is really challenging.
Below we listed a couple of extraordinary tasks to be done in order to allow the cargo to reach
its destination on time: a) dismantling, moving, hauling, and clean-up of de-energized power
transmission lines; b) bridge/road strengthening; c) opening of bascule bridges; d) dismantling
of road underpasses and traffic signs; e) construction of bypass roads. Therefore, solid planning
work, a tailored transportation concept, first-class shipping and caring handling are key to
success.
