L'énergie

Solutions énergétiques pour la chaîne d'approvisionnement, tant pour les cargaisons au gabarit que pour les cargaisons surdimensionnées et hors gabarit.

Industries que nous servons

Nous soutenons la chaîne d'approvisionnement énergétique mondiale en transportant des infrastructures énergétiques clés dans le monde entier. L'équipe de la chaîne d'approvisionnement en énergie de l'OIA reconnaît que le succès de la logistique du transport lourd dépend souvent d'une excellente planification et d'une exécution minutieuse. 

Creativity and adaptability remain critical to any plan, whether it be oversized power plant equipment or sustainable energy infrastructure. Operations teammates regularly handle both in-gauge cargo, such as full container loads or general cargo air freight, as well as out-of-gauge (OOG) or oversized cargo, via breakbulk shipping. OIA develops route plans, method statements, and risk assessments so that all potential scenarios are considered, and so that plans remain adaptable during the shipment journey. 

Our personnel don’t just overcome problems; they anticipate them!

OIA’s supply chain energy personnel work to overcome bridges, narrow roads, and countless other obstacles, always prioritizing the safety of all personnel, cargo, and equipment involved in your shipment. Plus, our company’s wide-ranging network scope allows us to scale supply chain energy solutions in tandem with customers’ business growth.

OIA is also a regular finalist at the Heavy Lift Awards, an industry event that highlights the project cargo supply chain, demonstrating that we’re ready to become your trusted supply chain partner wherever your business may operate.

Foire aux questions (FAQ)

​What types of energy projects require specialized heavy-lift logistics?

​​Large-scale projects that involve massive components like wind turbines, transformers, compressors, rotors, etc. Offshore projects (i.e., wind and solar) often require tailored lift plans, engineered load-outs, and multimodal routing across ports, rivers, and road networks.

  • Hydropower dams
  • Wind and solar projects
  • ​Oil and gas refineries
  • ​Power generation plants
  • ​Power grid facilities

​What’s the difference between standard cargo and out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo?

​Standard cargo fits within a standard 20’ or 40’ shipping container or an aircraft‘s dimensional limits. Out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo exceeds those limits due to height, width, or length.
​
​OOG movements typically require specialized equipment (multi-axle trailers, roll trailers), bespoke lashing, port coordination, or non-standard permits and escorts.

​How to choose between Ro-Ro, breakbulk, and charter options?

​Selection depends on dimensions, weight, origin–destination pairs, sailing frequency, and cargo sensitivity.

  • Ro-Ro enables drive-on stability for wheeled or modular units
  • ​Breakbulk suits static heavy items with crane handling
  • ​Charters provide schedule control and deck space for unique load configurations

OIA’s project logistics team works closely with customers on route planning to identify the optimal transportation solution.

​How do you control risk when moving high-value energy assets?

​Core controls include lift studies, weather windows, rigging redundancy, shock/tilt monitoring, tamper-evident seals, custody audits, and contingency routing. For critical-path components, dual-path planning and inventory buffers prevent downstream delays.

 

​What’s involved in marine and route surveys for energy cargo?

  • ​Surveys assess berth suitability, crane reach, deck strength, tidal windows, road geometry, overhead restrictions, and bridge ratings.
  • There is preemptive contingency planning and communication with the relevant customs authorities.
  • Outputs include method statements and sequencing plans that align ports, carriers, and site teams to execute lifts safely and on time.

​What documentation is critical for cross-border energy shipments?

​Essential documentation includes commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, permits for oversize/overweight moves, hazardous declarations (where applicable), insurance certificates, and project-specific method statements. Proper harmonized system (HS) codes and valuation prevent customs holds.
