The most important job of a freight forwarding company is to deliver the consignment on the agreed date. If the consignment is not delivered on time, it’s a loss to the receiving party. Well, some cargos’ are special and require an eye for detail and prior planning to implement the whole operation. Such special deliveries are known as ‘Project Cargo’.

What’s Project Cargo?

Such cargos’ can be for a domestic as well as for international companies and may even comprise of single or multiple shipments.

The freight forwarders managing the project cargo business should really have good expertise and communication skills as they have to skillfully connect all the stakeholders involved in the supply chain to one platform. 

Managing the Project Cargo

As the equipment is huge and highly priced, there is a large amount of risk involved, hence adequate planning is a crucial step in project freight logistics management. Staff with specialised expertise in handling heavy equipment should ensure proper coordination when the work in progress. This will help reduce cost and reduce risks during the transportation process.
