Everything we do is built around one question: how do we move your cargo — however large, however complex, wherever it is going — safely, compliantly, and on time.
Out-of-gauge cargo is any shipment that exceeds standard container dimensions in length, width, height, or weight — requiring special handling, non-standard equipment, route assessment, and regulatory permits at every point of the journey.
We manage OOG cargo movements from vessel arrival at Dar es Salaam port through to final delivery at the project site — including port handling, customs clearance, crane deployment, route survey, permit coordination, and escort logistics across all six corridor routes.
Heavy lift is not just about equipment — it is about the engineering, the planning, and the precision required to move cargo safely when a single error costs a project team weeks.
We coordinate heavy lift operations at Dar es Salaam port and at destination, including marine surveys, load spread calculations, crane subcontracting, and lifting supervision. Where specialist lifting contractors are required, we manage the subcontract and retain overall responsibility for the operation.
Break bulk cargo — unpackaged, non-containerised shipments — requires individual handling, bespoke securing and lashing, and careful coordination between vessel operators, port authorities, and inland transport.
We handle the full break bulk cycle: vessel coordination, port reception, customs clearance, storage where required, loading onto road transport, and delivery to corridor destinations.
Project cargo clearance in Tanzania is governed by TANCIS, TANESW, and TRA — and for corridor transit, by the regulatory requirements of each destination country. Getting the documentation right the first time is the difference between cargo moving and cargo sitting at the border.
Our customs compliance team manages every declaration, permit application, and regulatory submission for import, export, and corridor transit cargo.
From vessel discharge at Dar es Salaam to delivery at a mine site in the DRC or a substation in Rwanda — we manage the full corridor movement. We take responsibility for every stage: transport, border crossings, inland permits, and delivery confirmation.
