Project Cargo Transportation
What is project transportation?
Project transportation is a complex type of cargo transportation that requires many transport units for completion. It also requires careful planning, coordination, management and is often organized using special equipment. Project cargo can be the following: batches of equipment, production lines, factories, large and heavy cargo. To organize project transportation it may also be necessary to research the route and, if necessary, perform engineering intervention in the road infrastructure, such as dismantling bridges, raising power lines, building roads, etc.
Most often project transportation requires a lot of time to organize, prepare and implement. It is important to distinguish project transportation from oversize cargo transportation, since project transportation can be transported in standard vehicles in a disassembled form, but, for example, with a class decision (all product batches are classified by one product code). A standard requirement for the transportation of project cargo is the arrival of all vehicles at the customs office of the destination at the same time. This is due to the fact that cargo in customs clearance is delivered as a single object under one HS code.
The key difficulty in the first stages of project planning is to calculate the number of required vehicles and to decide how cargo can be disassembled, i.e. what part of the equipment can be transported in a standard way and how much special equipment is needed for the larger parts.
Project transportation involves a large number of participants: specialists, contractors, declarants, etc. The larger the project, the more specialists are involved in its implementation.
