International Heavy-Lift Shipping
Safe, efficient, and compliant transport for oversized and ultra-heavy cargo.
Our Services
We provide specialized heavy-lift and project cargo transport for the world’s most demanding industrial and offshore operations. Whether you require FLO/FLO, LO/LO, RO/RO, or U.S. Flag Jones Act shipping, our experts deliver the right vessel, method, and engineering approach to move your cargo safely and reliably.
Float-On / Float-Off (FLO/FLO)
A semi-submersible transport solution that floats cargo on and off the vessel without cranes—ideal for massive or delicate marine structures requiring gentle, low-stress handling and maximum stability.
Lift-On / Lift-Off (LO/LO)
A versatile heavy-lift service using high-capacity cranes for loading and unloading oversized cargo from shore or water. Provides safe, precise, and fully self-sustained operations in any global port.
Roll-On / Roll-Off (RO/RO)
A horizontal-transfer method for modular, wheeled, or rollable cargo, supported by deck-leveling systems, SPMTs, and skidding technology. Ensures efficient, controlled movement for extremely heavy industrial units.
U.S. Jones Act and U.S. Flag Shipping
Fully compliant domestic and government cargo transport using Jones Act–approved vessels and American crews. We provide secure, reliable logistics for U.S. ports, inland waterways, military cargo, and coastwise operations.
