Project cargo is anything that will not go in a standard container without a conversation first — oversized, overweight, indivisible, or requiring a routing built around it rather than the other way round. Noble Line Logistics handles these movements from Dubai, including vessel chartering where liner service will not take the cargo.
What We Handle
End-to-end heavy logistics for energy, oil & gas, construction, and manufacturing sectors.
Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Cargo
Loads exceeding standard container dimensions, moved securely on flat racks, open tops, platform containers, or dedicated break-bulk holds.
Heavy Lift Movements
Indivisible pieces requiring specialised hydraulic cranes, floating cranes, and heavy transport axles at origin loading and port discharge.
Vessel Chartering
Full or part chartering of specialized heavy-lift vessels and geared breakbulk carriers where liner services cannot accommodate dimensions or tight schedules.
Detailed Route Surveys
Physical pre-move surveys assessing bridges, overhead utilities, turning radiuses, and port berth draft limitations on inland and maritime legs.
Permits & Police Escorts
Turnkey coordination of abnormal load ministerial permits, road closures, civil authority approvals, and required official police escorts.
Multimodal Project Execution
Combining heavy-lift ocean carriage, river barge, and heavy-haul road transport under a single technical method statement and supervisory engineer.
How a Project Move is Planned
Disciplined engineering methodology guaranteeing safety and scheduled delivery.
Cargo Assessment
Technical evaluation of dimensions, centre of gravity, structural lifting points, and packaging integrity.
Route Survey
Physical road, bridge, and berth feasibility verification across every stage of the journey.
Method Statement
Detailed engineering lift plan, lashing calculations, transport rigging, and contingency plans.
Permits & Approvals
Abnormal load permits, escort booking, and port authority clearances secured well in advance.
Supervised Execution
On-site port and transport supervision by a single named coordinator ensuring flawless delivery.
