We possess a thorough understanding of Bolivian import regulations and infrastructure, providing a streamlined and efficient service from origin to final destination.
Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Cargo: A Core Competency
Hydro turbine components frequently exceed standard shipping dimensions, classifying them as out-of-gauge (OOG) cargo. This necessitates specialised handling and transportation methods. Ocean Cargo utilises its established network of global partners and highly experienced personnel to optimise shipping routes. We select the most appropriate vessels and employ skilled teams for the careful loading, securement, and unloading of these exceptional items.
