Project cargo is the domestic or international transportation of large, heavy, complex, or high-value pieces of equipment, including breakbulk shipments that can move by land, sea, or air.
These shipments are most commonly done for large industrial projects, such as construction or engineering, and involve the transportation of various types of machinery, equipment, and their components.
Any industry that manufactures or uses extremely large or heavy equipment will rely on project cargo services for their specific transportation needs.
Höegh Autoliners handles a large variety of project cargo, thanks to our advanced fleet of equipment with the highest efficiency and flexibility capabilities. We use modern New Horizon RoRo vessels, designed optimally for loading high and heavy and breakbulk cargo. These vessels have built-in ramps with a 375-tonne capacity, liftable decks, and 6.5 meter height doors to allow units of various shapes and sizes to be rolled on and off the ship without any cranes.
To help the loading and unloading process, we also utilize various types of cargo-carrying equipment. Höegh Autoliners’ heavy-duty rolltrailers are capable of carrying project cargo up to 160 metric tonnes, within a range of 20 to 80 feet. Our specially designed Höegh bridge allows us to cater to extra-long or unusually shaped units, as it effectively extends the roll trailer capacity during loading and transportation.
We use a mix of precautions to minimize the risks of damage in project cargo shipments. Our state-of-the-art fleet of rolltrailers is engineered to easily roll cargo on board the vessel. This solution eliminates the need for crane lifting, significantly reducing the overall risk of damage.
Furthermore, we stow your cargo under the deck so no seawater can reach it during transportation. This way, we not only protect the project cargo from unpredictable weather conditions but are also able to use more cost-effective packaging.
We treat each shipment on an individual basis, taking their unique needs and requirements into account. Our professional cargo operations team will find the safest and most efficient ways to transport your goods using the most suitable handling equipment.
