Project Cargo
Your Reliable Partner in Project Cargo and Over-dimensional Cargo Logistics
At Khimji Ramdas Shipping, we understand that the transportation of large, heavy, high-value or time-critical pieces of equipment demands more than a standard freight service. Whether it’s a massive transformer for an energy plant, oversized modules for a mining project, or delicate critical-equipment for an infrastructure build, our project cargo services deliver precision, reliability and peace of mind. As one of the leading shipping companies in Oman, we specialise in tailoring end-to-end solutions that move your most challenging loads across sea, land and air.
Why Project Cargo Demands a Specialist Approach
Project cargo by its nature is complex. It typically involves:
- Oversized and heavy items: equipment that may exceed standard container dimensions, weights or require special lifting, trailer or vessel arrangements.
- High-value or mission-critical assets: meaning any delay, damage or misstep can carry major cost or schedule implications.
- International or national transit: from factory to port, across borders, onto barge or heavy trailer, into site. Every link must be managed.• International or national transit: from factory to port, across borders, onto barge or heavy trailer, into site. Every link must be managed.
- Multiple modes & interfaces: sea-freight, heavy-haul trucking, route surveys, engineering rigging, special permits, on-site coordination.
That’s why you need more than a freight forwarder—you need a true specialist. As a premier shipping agency in Oman, Khimji Ramdas Shipping leverages its deep experience, global network and heavy-lift capabilities to deliver for you.
Our Project Cargo Capabilities
At Khimji Ramdas Shipping we offer a comprehensive suite of services that support the full lifecycle of a project-cargo move :
1. Consultancy & project planning
From feasibility studies and route surveys to permit-procurement and engineering support, we begin by assessing your cargo’s size, weight, origin, destination and all intermediate interfaces. This ensures that we design a moving strategy that is safe, cost-efficient and schedule-compliant.
2. Multi-modal transport solutions
Whether your cargo travels by sea from Europe or Asia, lands at an Omani port and then moves by heavy-haul truck to site – or perhaps comes in by air then by barge or trailer – we coordinate every leg. As a full-service logistics company in Oman, our infrastructure and network allow us to align vessel‐agency, heavy‐haul, inland logistics and port support seamlessly.
3. Heavy-lift and over-dimensional handling
Project cargo often demands specialised trailers, jacking/skidding operations, heavy-lift cranes and bespoke rigging. Our team, backed by approved heavy-lift partners, manages these operations in compliance with safety and regulatory standards, ensuring your asset is moved and placed without compromise.
4. Port & inland handling expertise
With offices at all major Omani ports and a large fleet of heavy-duty trucks and trailers, we handle customs clearance, warehousing, cross-dock transfers and final delivery. We are a recognised leader among the shipping companies in Oman that handle truly large-scale and complex moves.
