OOG TRANSPORT:EXPERTS IN HANDLING YOUR OUT-OF-GAUGE CARGO
The growth of industrial, energy, and infrastructure projects drives increasingly specific logistics requirements. OOG (Out of Gauge) transport demands technical expertise, tailored equipment, and rigorous coordination at every stage of the supply chain. To ensure operational safety and adherence to deadlines, our specialists anticipate every operational constraint of your OOG transport.
OOG TRANSPORT: A SOLUTION TAILORED TO OUT-OF-GAUGE CARGO
OOG transport involves cargo whose dimensions exceed those of standard shipping containers, such as industrial equipment, tanks, metallic structures, transformers, rolling stock, wind turbines, or even yachts.
Depending on the cargo’s characteristics, several solutions can be used. Flat rack containers, which lack side walls and a roof, allow for the transport of cargo that is over-width or over-height. Open top containers, open at the top, facilitate the loading of particularly tall pieces (To learn more, check out our feature The Different Types of Containers). For the most imposing cargo, OOG maritime transport can also rely on breakbulk solutions or specialized vessels such as Heavy Lift or Ro-Ro.
Each operation requires a thorough technical study integrating the constraints of handling, lashing, inland transport, sea transport, and international regulations.
