Project Logistics

Project logistics involves complex logistical planning and execution for out-of-gauge cargo

What We Do

As project logistics professionals, we don’t overcome obstacles; we anticipate them

OIA Global’s project logistics team works to overcome bridges, narrow roads, and countless other obstacles to transport unique or oversized cargo. Project logistics teammates regularly complete both in gauge cargo handling, like road freight, and out-of-guage cargo handling, such as breakbulk ocean chartering.  

Success in project logistics truly depends on excellent planning and careful execution. Teammates develop route plans, method statements, and risk assessments so that all potential scenarios are considered, and plans remain adaptable. We work to ensure the safety of all personnel, cargo, and equipment involved in your shipment.

During past projects, the team has shipped massive rotors, turbines, planes, armatures, and even a full museum exhibit. OIA’s project team has also been a finalist at the Heavy Lift Awards, an industry award that celebrates project cargo achievements.
