Our project transport services offer reliable and cost-effective solutions that meet high standards of safety, service and quality.
When you need to move heavy, oversized or complex cargo, MDF’s Project Transport is ready to provide specialized, tailor-made solutions for the most ambitious energy, industrial and capital infrastructure projects.
With a global force of skilled professionals and decades of experience in this area, we are ready to serve your most complex logistics demands and execute any major move, even to the most remote locations.
Scale: Large-scale, industrial job sites require equally large machinery and equipment. MDF works closely with you to plan customized loading, unloading and delivery services to suit these oversized needs.
Geography: Many of the world’s largest industrial projects are located in landlocked, isolated areas. We help you reach remote drilling and production sites, and handle both offshore and inland deliveries, by providing every aspect of multimodal transport.
Flexibility: MDF’s Project Transport is highly flexible in timing, routing and delivery mode, thus meeting key requirements of the oil and gas industry in particular. This flexibility allows us to create tailor-made solutions.
Urgency: Downtime is costly and emergencies call for fast response. When you need to restart equipment and guarantee production, or reach remote areas quickly, MDF’s critical response teams are available 24/7.
Compliance and ethics: Moving unusual and oversized loads to remote locations generally requires authorization and customs clearance at several stages of the journey. MDF offices and personnel have up-to-date knowledge on relevant government laws and regulations, to ensure the smooth and efficient movement of cargo in line with all quality, health, safety and environmental (QHSE) legislation.
Planning and project management: Large-scale projects begin long before any major moves are actually carried out. MDF supports customers in the planning stage by giving detailed advice and pointing out potential transport issues based on local experience.
Transport engineering: Installations are designed and manufactured with the transport already in mind. MDF’s in-house transport engineering experts can provide valuable support for out-of-gauge and heavy-lift moves that require special equipment or even changes to existing infrastructure.
Route and site surveys: MDF conducts risk assessments and detailed route and site surveys along transport routes, to account for limitations posed by infrastructure, climate, season or even the political landscape. In marine transport for example, we make hydrographic surveys of shallow waters or identify safe havens in case of bad weather en route.
Origin and destination services: At origin, MDF’s turnkey project forwarding solutions include vendor and purchase order expediting, collection, marshalling, industrial packing, delivery to port or airport and export customs clearance. At destination, MDF provides first-hand information on import regulations and import customs clearance.
