TRANSCONTAINER TRANSPORT INC. defines the term "project cargo" by its nature, e.g., contrary to the normal cargo flow of consumer goods and basic supplies for manufacturing and processing, as applies to capital investment goods and equipment. The term generally refers to the logistics of financing, designing, engineering, manufacturing, transporting and erecting equipment at a domestic or foreign location.

The "project forwarder" has an intricate logistics part in this entire engineering logistics operation, overseeing the expediting, marshalling, storage, loading/unloading onto trucks, railcars, vessels, etc., from origin to the final destination up to the final "turn-key" operation.

TRANSCONTAINER TRANSPORT INC. is a project forwarder with over 35 years of experience and know-how for all types of cargo movement. Below is a representative list of some larger projects handled "Door to Door" by TRANSCONTAINER TRANSPORT INC.:
