Facilitating Data Centre Deployment in China
The exponential growth of data processing demands necessitates the rapid deployment of data centres globally. For organisations establishing these vital facilities in China, secure and dependable shipping solutions are paramount. The transportation of pre-engineered modular data centre units, often requiring out-of-gauge (OOG) handling and specialised flat rack containers, presents significant logistical challenges. Their considerable size and weight necessitate expert management throughout the entire supply chain.
Navigating the Complexities of Data Centre Logistics
Ocean Cargo possesses in-depth knowledge of the complexities inherent in transporting these specialised cargo units. We recognise the critical importance of speed, security, and adherence to regulatory frameworks.

Customised Transport Solutions to Meet Your Requirements
The optimal transport solution is contingent upon the specific requirements of your project. Sea freight provides a cost-effective option, particularly suitable for larger projects with less stringent time constraints.

We conduct a thorough assessment of your project's unique parameters, recommending the most appropriate mode of transport or a hybrid approach that leverages the advantages of both sea and air freight for maximum efficiency. Our project logistics capabilities extend to the management of even the most complex and demanding shipments, handling every detail with precision.
