Logistics · Ras Al Khaimah, UAE

Project cargo handling

Heavy-lift, out-of-gauge and break-bulk shipments planned in detail and supervised on the ground — from the vessel's hook to the final position on site.

Overview

Project cargo handling with Astraline Maritime

Project cargo leaves no margin for error. We review the cargo and the route in advance, agree the lifting method, secure permits and supervise every move between berth and site.

You get a single point of contact for the port, the authorities, the stevedores and the transport — and photographic progress reports at each stage.
