What is Project Cargo?

Project cargo covers out-of-gauge, oversized, or high-value freight that simply cannot move through standard shipping channels. These shipments often need


  • Multi-modal transport (road, sea freight, and air freight) 
  • Dismantle/packaging/re-assembly
  • Route surveys and feasibility planning 
  • Specialised lifting equipment and handling 
  • Permits and sometimes police escorts or pilot vehicles to get from A to B safely and legally.


The difference between a smooth on budget project cargo operation and a reactive costly one usually comes down to who is managing it from the start. That is where Vision comes in.


Our Project Cargo Capabilities

Multi-Modal Transport Coordination

We look after the full movement of your cargo across road, sea, and air freight, tying each mode together so nothing falls through the cracks, and your project stays on track.

Heavy Lift and Oversized Cargo Handling

From specialist rigging and lifting to overland transport, our team understands what it takes to move heavy-lift cargo and oversized industrial equipment that exceeds standard container dimensions.

Breakbulk and Out-of-Gauge Freight

When your cargo will not load in standard containers, we provide RoRo, specialised container & breakbulk solutions using mafi trailers, bolsters, flat racks, open-top containers, or vessel charter options tailored to the size and weight of what you are moving.

Route Survey and Feasibility Planning

Before anything moves, we get out and assess the route properly, checking for obstacles, infrastructure limitations, and permit requirements along every leg of the journey.

Permits and Regulatory Compliance

We handle all permit applications and ensure your shipment is fully compliant with Australian and international transport regulations, including biosecurity requirements where applicable.

In-House Customs Brokerage

Our licensed customs brokers handle all import and export documentation in-house. They will be involved from start to finish to ensure duties/taxes are minimalised and your cargo meets all Australian border requirements for a smooth import/export.

Health and Safety

Safety is not a box we tick. We put proper protocols in place across every project cargo operation, ensuring both your cargo and our people are looked after at every stage.

Project Management

You get a dedicated project manager from day one — someone who knows your shipment inside out and keeps everyone on the same page from planning right through to delivery.

Supply Chain Development

We sit down with you and work out a logistics strategy that fits your business, one that cuts risk, lifts efficiency, and sets your supply chain up for the long haul.

Step 1: Cargo Assessment We start by getting a thorough understanding of your cargo, its dimensions, weight, fragility, and any special handling needs. Everything that follows is built on this foundation. 


Step 2: Route Survey and Feasibility Study Our team conducts detailed route surveys across all planned legs, checking for height restrictions, load limits, road conditions, and anything else that could affect safe transit.

 

Step 3: Permits, Compliance, and Documentation We sort out all transport permits, customs paperwork, biosecurity declarations, and regulatory approvals across Australian and international jurisdictions before a single piece of cargo moves. 


Step 4: Transport Execution With planning locked in, we coordinate the physical movement of your cargo using the right mix of road, sea, and air freight through our trusted network of carriers and operators. 


Step 5: Real-Time Monitoring and Communication Your dedicated project manager keeps you updated throughout the journey, staying on top of any changes and making sure you are never left wondering where your cargo is.
