What is project logistics?
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.
Typical projects include building wind farms, factories, power plants, mines, or large infrastructure. Cargo may range from small components to ultra-heavy lifts and must converge at a single site from suppliers worldwide.
Key features of project logistics include:
- Time-definite and integrated: Projects have a fixed start and end date, with all cargo flows carefully synchronised.
- Specialised expertise: Involves transport engineering, heavy lift operations, route planning, and compliance with strict safety and regulatory requirements.
- End-to-end orchestration: Covers everything from procurement and customs clearance to on-site delivery and installation.
Project logistics goes beyond moving goods; it orchestrates the flow of people, equipment, and materials needed to deliver major developments. Done well, it enables projects that create jobs, power communities, and even transform national economies.
