Delivering Exceptional Project Cargo Solutions Beyond Boundaries.
Project Cargo and OOG
Project Cargo” and “OOG” (Out of Gauge) are terms used in the freight and logistics industry to describe specialized types of cargo and shipping requirements. Here’s a brief explanation of each
Project Cargo: Project cargo refers to large, heavy, or complex shipments that don’t fit into standard shipping containers or require special handling due to their size, weight, or nature. This type of cargo often includes machinery, equipment, industrial components, construction materials, and other items used in major infrastructure projects, industrial plants, or energy installations.
Out of Gauge (OOG): Out of Gauge (OOG) refers to cargo that exceeds the standard dimensions of a shipping container or any cargo that extends beyond the sides, top, or ends of a container. OOG cargo requires special handling, as it cannot fit into a regular container and might protrude or have irregular shapes.
Project Cargo
- Planning: Meticulous planning is essential to ensure that transportation routes, equipment, and handling procedures are suitable for the cargo’s specifications.
- Expertise: Handling project cargo demands specialized expertise in engineering, transport, and logistics to safely move oversized or heavy items.
- Permits and Regulations: Due to their exceptional dimensions, project cargo shipments often require special permits and adherence to specific regulations for road, rail, or sea transport.
OOG cargo
- Irregular Dimensions: OOG cargo can be too wide, tall, long, or irregularly shaped to fit within standard container dimensions.
- Specialized Equipment: Transporting OOG cargo often involves using flatrack or open-top containers, as well as specialized trucks, trailers, or cranes.
- Securement: Proper securing and bracing are crucial to prevent damage or accidents during transit.
- Documentation: OOG cargo requires specific documentation to outline its dimensions, weight, securing methods, and any necessary permits.
