Frequently Asked Questions
What defines Out of Gauge (OOG) cargo?
OOG cargo refers to freight whose dimensions exceed the standard dimensions of a 20ft or 40ft shipping container (e.g., over-width, over-height, or over-weight). This requires specialized equipment like Flat Racks or Open Top containers.
Do you provide the lashing and securing materials?
Yes. We supply and implement all necessary securing materials, including heavy-duty steel chains, tensioners, and blocking/bracing timber. Our port captains ensure compliance with strict maritime safety standards.
Can you handle sensitive cargo on a Flat Rack?
Absolutely. For high-value or sensitive modules that cannot be exposed to the elements, we provide industrial-grade, custom-fitted tarpaulin wrapping to ensure weather-proofing during the ocean transit.
Have an Oversized Project Shipment?
Provide your equipment dimensions and weight. Our engineering team will deliver a precise Flat Rack or Open Top loading feasibility report.
