Project cargo in maritime transport refers to the movement of oversized, heavy, or high-value goods destined for a specific infrastructure or industrial project – such as wind turbine components, refinery modules, bridge sections, or large power transformers. These consignments cannot simply be containerized; they require specialized vessels such as heavy-lift ships or multipurpose carriers with onboard cranes, along with tailored stowage and lashing plans. The entire logistics chain – port selection, draft restrictions, out-of-gauge permits, insurance, and on-site commissioning – is engineered individually for each project. Unlike standard breakbulk, project cargo remains associated with a single project throughout its journey; unlike container freight, it carries no standard rate schedule but is quoted case by case.
