Project Logistics
Some cargoes refuse to fit into neat little packages for simple transportation. They’re too big, too heavy, too awkward, or simply too specialised to fit the norm. Since the early 1970s, GAC has been a leader in moving such project cargoes from source to destination.
GAC supports major freight undertakings by combining our shipping, logistics and marine divisions, providing services that include:
- Site survey/feasibility studies (routes, weather, political climate)
- Full/part charter parties (air charters, time/ voyage charters)
- Multi-modal transport (rail, tug & barge, heavy lift)
- Special equipment transport (flat racks, open tops, platforms, tween deck solutions)
- Freight negotiation (COA negotiation, long term rate validities)
- Administrative support (customs clearance, trade documentation)
GAC’s barges and landing craft are ideally suited for transporting project cargo in hard-to-reach areas with infrastructure limitations. We also provide ballastable barges to receive cargo on direct delivery basis for on-carriage to final destination.
