Peterson Project Cargo

Project cargo

Peterson is more than logistics

    Out-of-gauge cargo, smart solutions

    Project cargo means out-of-gauge loads: oversized, heavy, non-standard dimensions and tight deadlines. Heavy RoRo (roll-on/roll-off: cargo drives on and off the vessel itself) requires specialist expertise and permits. In construction, energy and industry, components grow larger while roads congest and trucks hit limits. Congestion, window times and safety turn transport into projects themselves.

    Peterson handles inland shipping – and suitable RoRo – for all project cargo types. We move turbines, cranes, helicopters, tanks or tractors from seaport to terminal or site.

    Smart control for reliable projects

    Peterson treats project cargo as chain management. Complex moves become predictable and executable. Early input on routes, modes and timing, aligned with terminals and teams. Just-in-time planning, one plan and one contact bring calm. Peterson is more than logistics.

    We at Peterson see real potential to move suitable project cargo away from congested roads and onto inland waterways. We use our operational experience to pinpoint where a modal shift is feasible, manage the full transition, and unlock a more sustainable, resilient supply chain for our clients.

    Frequently asked questions in the project cargo industry.

    Inland waterway transport is a more sustainable option with a lower environmental impact. It is often more cost-effective for large volumes of project cargo, supports reliable flows and helps you avoid road congestion.

    Yes. For longer distance routes across Europe, a combination of waterway transport and a short last mile by road often proves to be a highly efficient and viable solution. We conduct a thorough feasibility study for every project.

    We at Peterson combine a century of maritime experience with a clear focus on long-term, transparent partnerships. Instead of just providing a price, we carry out a thorough assessment of your specific needs and develop custom, end-to-end solutions that keep your project moving smoothly.
