Project Cargo Solutions
At IFF – International Freight Forwarding, we provide comprehensive maritime logistics solutions for oversized, heavy, and complex cargo. Our unmatched expertise, coupled with cutting-edge equipment, ensures your shipment is handled with precision, safety, and efficiency.
Port-to-Port and Door-to-Door Transport
IFF offers a seamless end-to-end transport service that ensures your cargo moves effortlessly from its origin to its final destination. Our team manages every aspect of the journey, including route planning, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery, so you can focus on your project. To achieve this, we use heavy-lift vessels for secure ocean transit, flat-rack containers to accommodate oversized cargo, and lowboy trailers for efficient land transport during last-mile delivery. Forklifts and reach stackers are employed for efficient cargo handling at ports, while hydraulic jacks and skidding systems allow for precise positioning of heavy shipments.
Chartering of Specialized Vessels
At IFF, we offer access to an extensive fleet of vessels tailored to your cargo’s specific needs. Our fleet includes General Cargo Vessels for versatile freight, Bulk Carriers for large volumes of unpackaged goods, and Tanker Vessels for transporting liquids. For oversized and heavy shipments, we charter Heavy-Lift Vessels, Roll-On/Roll-Off (RoRo) Ships, and Semi-Submersible Vessels. These vessels are equipped with onboard cranes for independent handling, spreader beams and lifting slings for secure lifting, and hydraulic jacks for precise cargo positioning. We also utilize self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) and roll trailers to facilitate seamless transitions between land and sea transport.
Breakbulk Cargo Handling
When your cargo doesn’t fit standard containers, IFF’s breakbulk services are the perfect solution. We specialize in handling irregularly shaped, oversized, or heavy cargo such as industrial machinery, steel structures, and construction materials. Our team ensures efficient loading, stowage, and unloading with the help of flat-rack containers, platform containers, and open-top containers, which are designed to accommodate large and awkwardly shaped items. Heavy-duty cranes, custom cradles, and saddles provide additional support for sensitive equipment, while hydraulic jacks and advanced lashing tools such as chains and straps keep your cargo secure during transit.
Transit Project Cargo Operations
At IFF, we excel in managing transit project cargo operations, ensuring uninterrupted movement of goods through multiple countries to their final destination. Our team handles all transit documentation, clearances, and permits, minimizing delays and maintaining compliance with international regulations. For large-scale or heavy equipment, we use modular trailers, SPMTs, and heavy-lift cranes to manage smooth transfers between modes of transport. Custom cradles, spreader beams, and hydraulic skidding systems provide additional support, ensuring cargo stability during transit. We also integrate GPS tracking systems to give real-time updates, ensuring visibility and control over your shipment at every stage.
Lashing, Securing, and Stowage Planning
At IFF, safety is at the heart of our operations. Our team meticulously plans cargo stowage and employs advanced lashing techniques to secure shipments during transit. We use high-strength lashing chains, tensioning straps, cargo nets, and tarps to stabilize and protect your shipment. To prevent movement or vibration during transit, we utilize rubber mats, padding, and hydraulic skidding systems to achieve precise cargo placement. Portable load-testing equipment is also deployed to ensure all securing points meet safety standards.
Heavy Lift and Oversized Load Management
Handling massive and oversized cargo is a specialty of IFF. We manage every aspect, from coordinating crane operations at the port to overseeing specialized transport equipment. Our fleet of heavy-lift vessels is equipped with high-capacity onboard cranes, while multi- axle trailers and SPMTs are used for safe transport on land. For vertical lifting operations, we rely on hydraulic gantries and counterweight systems, ensuring even the heaviest loads are handled with precision and stability.
Offshore Project Cargo Support
ransporting cargo to offshore locations such as wind farms, oil rigs, or floating platforms is no small task, but IFF makes it seamless. We coordinate vessel selection, route planning, and offshore handling using semi-submersible vessels, which allow for easy loading and unloading of massive offshore structures. For shallow water operations, we utilize barges and tugboats, while dynamic positioning systems ensure vessel stability during complex offshore maneuvers. Offshore cranes are also deployed to safely handle cargo in challenging environments.
Feasibility Studies and Route Planning
Every successful shipment begins with thorough planning. At IFF, we conduct in-depth feasibility studies to evaluate port capabilities, vessel access, and route efficiency. Our team uses hydraulic jacks, skidding systems, and advanced route analysis software to address potential challenges and create a seamless logistics plan. This level of precision ensures your project cargo moves smoothly from start to finish.
Cargo Supervision and Onboard Surveying
With IFF, your cargo receives professional oversight at every stage. From loading and unloading to onboard transit, our experts ensure that every process adheres to safety standards and international regulations. We use spreader beams, lifting slings, and high- capacity cranes to handle cargo safely, while onboard surveys provide real-time updates and identify potential issues before they arise.
Multimodal Integration
IFF combines sea, road, rail, and air logistics into a single, seamless solution. By integrating multiple modes of transport, we ensure your project cargo moves efficiently through every stage of its journey. Our RoRo vessels and roll trailers streamline the transition between maritime and land transport, while heavy-duty trailers, rail bogies, and container lift systems ensure smooth transfers and safe handling across all modes.
