Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Browse through some of the most raised questions on project logistics. We hope they give you more clarity on what we can offer to help you execute a project from start to finish.

Project logistics is a specialised field of logistics focused on managing the transport and delivery of complex, large-scale, and often oversized or high-value cargo. It requires detailed planning, specialised equipment, and close coordination across multiple parties to ensure everything arrives safely, on time, and in the right sequence.

Project logistics is very different from everyday logistics, which typically moves goods in a continuous flow. Instead, project logistics supports large, complex undertakings such as wind farms, factories, or infrastructure. Each project can take years to plan and execute and has clear start and end dates.

Maersk Project Logistics delivers end-to-end planning, coordination, and execution of complex logistics projects – ensuring all cargo arrives in the right sequence, on time, and in full. Our offering covers specialised transport by ocean, air, inland, or vessel charter, combined with project planning, orchestration, and survey services to ensure safe and seamless delivery.

Yes. Maersk Project Logistics provides end-to-end solutions for special cargo, including oversized, out-of-gauge, or sensitive shipments. Services range from tailored ocean, air, inland, and vessel charter transport to specialised handling, secure storage, route surveys, and on-site support.

Maersk Project Logistics addresses the complexities of large-scale projects through end-to-end planning, specialised assets, and expert coordination. We manage everything from oversized and sensitive cargo transport – by ocean, air, inland, or vessel charter – to route surveys, secure storage, and on-site support.
