Project cargo in Pakistan from Ibrahim Logistics: Over-size, heavy-lift and break-bulk cargo for power, energy, infrastructure and industrial projects.
Turbines, transformers, boilers and production lines do not fit in a standard container. Project cargo needs route surveys, special trailers, cranes, police escorts and careful coordination with the port and the site.
We plan project shipments from the supplier's factory to the foundation at site – including customs, permits and the last kilometre.
What our project cargo service covers
- Break-bulk and heavy-lift shipping
- Flat-rack and open-top containers
- Route surveys and permits
- Low-bed and multi-axle trailers

Tips to save time and cost
- Book 7–10 days before the cut-off in peak months – space and empties run short.
- Weigh the stuffed container (VGM) – overweight boxes are rolled at the terminal.
- Ask for the free days (demurrage / detention) in writing before booking.
- Use ISPM-15 treated pallets; untreated wood is refused in many countries.
What affects the cost of project cargo
- Ocean freight – per container (FCL) or per CBM (LCL), set by the line and the market.
- Surcharges – bunker (BAF), peak season and emergency surcharges when lines apply them.
- Origin local charges – terminal handling (THC), documentation, seal, VGM.
- Destination charges – THC, delivery order and port charges at the other end.
- Inland transport – factory to port, or port to warehouse.
- Free time – demurrage and detention if containers are kept longer than allowed.
Every quotation from us lists these items separately, so you can compare like with like.
