Project Cargo Services FAQs Answered!

What qualifies as project cargo?
Project cargo generally includes oversized, heavy, or non-containerized shipments such as turbines, reactors, generators, prefabricated structures, transformers, or industrial machinery that require special transport planning and permits.
How early should I engage a project cargo company?
Ideally, as soon as your project timeline is confirmed. Early engagement allows for route surveys, permitting, equipment booking, and risk planning, all critical for large or international movements.
What ports in Dubai do you operate from for breakbulk shipments?
We primarily operate from Jebel Ali Port, which is well-equipped for heavy lift and break bulk cargo, but can also work with Port Rashid and other UAE gateways based on the cargo profile and vessel schedule.
What types of equipment does TLM use for project cargo transport?
We deploy a range of equipment, including modular trailers, lowbeds, SPMTs, cranes, jacking systems, and rigging tools, based on load dimensions, weight, and delivery terrain.
Can TLM handle international project cargo logistics?
Yes. We offer global coordination for the import/export of project cargo, including ocean freight booking, documentation, international permits, and multimodal transit for delivery at the site.
