The work carried out in recent years on behalf of an established trader of VEHICLES and INDUSTRIAL PLANTS, has allowed us to develop the necessary knowledge for this particular and delicate type of shipments.
In the case of very bulky goods with a large mass, the organization of international shipments can be particularly complicated.
This type of shipment can make the classic shipping methods insufficient, and it is in this case that the Project Cargo takes over. It is, in fact, a real project aimed at organizing the transport of heavy materials and “out of gauge”.
Cargo is available in different shapes and sizes, ranging from heavy cargo, break-bulk cargo, and “out of gauge”. The transport category applied to each of these is based on the type of product being transported.
The Roll-on/roll-off (RO/RO) provides for the transport of wheeled vehicles and loads arranged on platforms or in containers, loaded and unloaded by means of vehicles equipped with wheels independently and without external mechanical means.

Whether the origin is Italy or a European Country, be it perishable or dangerous goods (ADR/IMO), heavy or light, we take care of all the stages of your shipments, combining land transport with maritime.
The groupage service consists in grouping in a single container goods of different consignors, destined to different customers in the same geographic area.
Service aimed at those who buy goods from different Suppliers/ Shipper and want to optimize the cost of transport grouping it so that it is shipped in a single container.
For destinations for which we do not have our direct services, we cooperate with the main co-loaders on the market – acting as intermediaries – for a professional and accurate shipment management.
The entry into the global market of emerging industrial powers such as China, India or Brazil has led to a revolution: the most disparate types of goods are increasingly purchased in countries other than those that historically held the leadership in the global market. This has given rise to this new type of shipment ABROAD / ABROAD.

Ro-Ro stands for Roll-on/Roll-off: the sea transport of vehicles and wheeled cargo that are driven on and off the ship via ramps, with no need for cranes. It is the most common way to ship cars, trucks, plant vehicles and machinery on roll trailers by sea.
Ro-Ro ships are cargo vessels with ramps and garage decks, designed to load vehicles that drive aboard on their own wheels. Ro-Ro shipping can carry both new and used vehicles: cars, vans, trucks and heavy vehicles, buses, trailers and semi-trailers, agricultural and earth-moving machinery, as well as machinery on roll trailers. Viamar Transit can handle these specialised shipments by booking space on the Ro-Ro services of the major shipping lines.
Yes. Ro-Ro freight is also suitable for heavy or bulky loads placed on roll trailers, which are loaded and unloaded using terminal tractors. It is a good alternative to containers for machinery, structures and goods that do not fit in a standard container.
Project cargo is the transport of heavy, oversized or out-of-gauge goods, such as industrial machinery, plants, structures and components that do not fit in a standard container. Each shipment is a project in its own right: it requires a cargo study, selection of the most suitable equipment and vessel, and coordination of every stage, from collection to delivery.
We start by analysing dimensions, weights and lifting points to choose the most suitable transport solution, using different types of container, such as flat racks and open tops, or a break-bulk or Ro-Ro vessel. We then arrange oversized road transport with the necessary permits and oversee loading, lashing and discharge. We have built up this expertise over many years working with a major trader in vehicles and industrial plants.
