Benchmark project cargo logistics and heavy oversized transport

Benchmark project cargo logistics and heavy, oversized transport involves evaluating performance against industry best practices, focusing on efficiency, cost-effectiveness, safety, and compliance with regulations, using metrics like delivery (permit) time and calculating cost for pilot cars and traffic control measures.

Selecting forwarders or carriers who are not specialized in your type of project cargo can cost millions of dollars and damage your project seriously. Also, the difference between the cheapest and most expensive carrier can add up to factor 3. Therefore, it is important to select the proper partners.

Our benchmark project cargo logistics and heavy oversized transport in a nutshell:

1. Tender and nominating carrier process project cargo

1.1 Pricing strategy

To price your project cargo accurately, consider factors like cargo size, weight, transport mode, and specialized handling requirements. Understanding additional costs such as permits, insurance, and route planning ensures comprehensive budgeting

1.2 Selecting carrier

When selecting a carrier for project cargo, prioritize experience with oversized or specialized items, multimodal transportation, specialized equipment (like heavy-lift cranes), and strong relationships with local ports and risk management expertise to ensure efficient and reliable shipping

1.3 Project Cargo Specifics

Choose a carrier with a proven track record in handling large, heavy, or out-of-gauge items, as well as high-value or critical goods.

1.4 Multimodal Transportation

Ensure the carrier can manage various modes of transport (sea, road, rail) and seamlessly integrate them for your project.

1.5 Specialized Equipment

Look for access to specialized equipment like heavy-lift cranes, multi-axle trailers, and specialized stowage methods.

1.6 Local and International Regulations

Verify the carrier s understanding of relevant regulations and procedures for your specific project cargo and destination.

2. Planning and Preparation project cargo

2.1 Route Analysis

Evaluate routes for potential challenges (bridges, tunnels, road conditions), ensuring the chosen path is optimal and safe.

2.2 Permitting and Documentation project cargo

Benchmark the process for obtaining necessary permits in all crossing countries and ensuring accurate documentation for customs clearance and regulatory compliance.

2.3 Equipment Selection project cargo

Determine the most efficient and cost-effective equipment (vehicles) for loading, unloading, and transportation, considering the specific cargo dimensions and weight.

2.4 Risk Assessment project cargo

Identify and mitigate potential risks throughout the entire process, including weather, traffic, and security concerns.

2.5 Lashing and securing project cargo

Determine the most efficient and cost-effective lashing methods for securing the cargo on trucks and vessels, considering the specific cargo dimensions and weight.

3. Execution and Transportation project cargo

3.1 Loading and Unloading

Benchmark the time and efficiency of loading and unloading operations, ensuring minimal downtime and potential damage.

3.2 Transportation Mode

Evaluate the suitability of different transportation modes (sea, road, rail) for specific cargo types and destinations, considering cost, time, and environmental impact.

3.3 Real-time Tracking and Communication

Implement systems for real-time tracking and communication, allowing for proactive problem-solving and timely updates to stakeholders.

3.4 Safety Procedures

Ensure strict adherence to safety protocols throughout the entire process, including loading, transportation, and unloading.

4. Cost and Performance project cargo

Cost of trucking, pilot cars, port handling and sea freight project cargo Track and analyze transportation costs for all modalities to identify areas for potential cost reduction.

4.1 Delivery Time

Monitor and analyze delivery time (availability of special equipment and acquiring permits) to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.

4.2 Customer Satisfaction

Solicit feedback from clients to identify areas for improvement in service and communication.

4.3 Compliance project cargo

Ensure adherence to all relevant regulations and industry standards.

5. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • On-time delivery rate: Percentage of shipments delivered within the agreed-upon timeframe.
  • Cost for main services and additional cost: Total transportation cost splitted by main costs and additional costs (permits, pilot cars, demurrage)
  • Customer satisfaction score: Average score based on customer feedback. Compliance rate: Percentage of shipments that comply with all relevant regulations.

    6. Industry benchmarking project cargo

  • Competitor Analysis: Identify and analyze the performance of competitors in the project cargo logistics space.
  • Industry Standards: Stay up-to-date on industry best practices and standards.
  • Technology Adoption of modern equipment: Evaluate the use of technology (pendel X axles) to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
  • Continuous Improvement: Regularly review and analyze performance data to identify areas for continuous improvement.
