Specialised transport solutions

Dedicated to handling complex global projects, we utilise our network offices and agents to provide highly efficient and economical solutions. We offer end-to-end supply chain management for specialised transports following budgets and deadlines while foreseeing and mitigating risks.

Designing transports from start to finish

Various modes of transportation and the location of the transhipment are essential factors for planning project logistics chains. Fewer intermediate stages within a transport chain reduce the outlay and risk of damage. Coherently, multimodal transport chains offer benefits in terms of costs and carbon footprint. Specialised transport projects always require individual approaches as the nature of the goods involved, the transport routes, the origin and destinations all vary.
