Transporting specialized cargo in East Africa — whether it’s heavy machinery, oversized units, or liquid bulk — demands a higher level of planning, equipment, and execution. These shipments often come with tight timelines, complex routing, and increased risk, requiring experienced hands and precise coordination.
What Qualifies as Specialized Freight?
- Bulk cargo: unpackaged goods like grains, ores, or cement
- Project cargo: heavy and oversized equipment (e.g., transformers, turbines)
- Liquid cargo: fuel, chemicals, or food-grade liquids
Key Challenges
- Road restrictions and weight limits
- Delicate handling and secure containment
- Route accessibility and seasonal road conditions
- Additional permits, escorts, and surveys
