In the logistics sector, the term project cargo refers to the transport of goods of large size, weight or dimensions that, due to their nature, do not fit in a conventional container. This type of operation requires specialised handling and refers, for example, to the transport of industrial equipment, machinery for energy projects or infrastructure for large-scale constructions.
Due to its complexity, the transport of project cargo requires careful coordination and an approach tailored to the unique needs of each project, especially in a globalised and highly competitive environment. In this context, IGL, an integrated logistics operator, has the experience and resources to manage project cargo transportation, adapting it to the specific needs of each operation.
Planning is the key to efficient logistics
Organisation is essential in this area of logistics, as any setback in the process can mean significant delays and cost overruns. This phase should include:
- A thorough assessment of the route to be followed.
- Clear identification of critical transport points.
- A choice of specific vehicles and loading methods.
In addition, compliance with regulations and permits in different countries requires efficient and experienced management to avoid disruptions. Rigorous structuring not only ensures efficiency and punctuality, but also optimises resources and reduces the risks associated with transporting complex cargo.
IGL: excellence in project cargo
In response to the needs of this sector, IGL, as a logistics operator that forms part of Alonso Group, implements advanced integrated logistics solutions. These include a multimodal coordination system that covers road, sea and rail transport, which allows for the efficient management of large-scale projects.
Thanks to specialised infrastructures and real-time traceability tools, IGL ensures detailed monitoring of each phase and compliance with strict international standards, adapting to the technical specifications of each project to optimise times and reduce costs.
