We speak of project cargo shipping when goods are too large, too heavy or too irregular in shape for standard transport equipment. These items do not fit into containers, trailers or pallets and therefore require tailor‑made solutions. Internationally, this is often referred to as project cargo. Transporting such cargo by inland vessel requires additional preparation and expertise.
Project cargo consists of unique, unpackaged objects that require special attention and careful planning. Examples include:
- Heavy industrial machinery
- Oversized constructions for energy and infrastructure projects
- Bridge components
- Wind turbine sections
- Large silos and tanks
Why choose inland shipping for project cargo?
Inland shipping offers significant advantages for transporting heavy and oversized items:
- Stable and safe transport over water
- Capacity for extremely large or heavy objects
- Reduced strain on the road network
- Direct connections between industrial areas and ports
For these reasons, inland shipping is often the most logical, efficient and sustainable choice.
