Project Logistics: Stranger Than Fiction
Five tigers. 126 tons of the Berlin Wall. A military aircraft. Ripening mangoes. Project logistics handles cargo that falls outside established shipping rulebooks.
S tandard freight goes through a straightforward process that includes boxing, palletizing, containerizing, and sending. Project cargo cannot follow that process because it is too heavy, too tall, too fragile, or in the case of those tigers, too alive. Carriers that move this kind of cargo must have a plethora of patience and strong infrastructure. Planning often starts months before a move, and loads often require specialized equipment. Expert transportation teams must be able to both intuit challenges and improvise to meet them. Here are some examples of what it takes for project logistics success.
