Union Transport Group’s special PROJECT SHIPPING DIVISION was formed in the late sixties following the Group’s introduction to the complex requirements of the petrochemical, construction and fabrication industries. Since then, a highly experienced team of professional freight forwarding personnel has been assembled. Their combined knowledge encompasses every aspect of international transportation and freight forwarding through ocean, air, road or rail, or indeed any combination thereof.

In addition to this, Union Transport Group are both SHIP OWNERS and BROKERS in their own right and as such have immediate access to shipping capacity throughout the world. This aspect can be particularly advantageous when there are requirements to move unusual or awkward cargoes to the more unusual destinations not normally served by regular freight forward carriers.

Apart from the actual physical movement of the goods, Union Transport Group also provides administrative support systems to cover materials control and status reporting as well as servicing HM Customs requirements in respect of such items as IPR End User Relief, Continental Shelf Controls and INTRASTAT reporting.

A possibly lesser-known but nonetheless important facet of this unique service is the ability of Union Transport Group to provide dedicated professional freight forwarding personnel to superintend the movement of any cargo to any location in the world – this in addition to the non-regular requirement for in-house personnel to be located within the clients headquarters.

Union Transport (Newcastle) Ltd undertake Project Freight movements for a wide range of clients including numerous other freight forwarding companies, the cargoes we have extensive experience of range from an envelope to an oil rig.

We would be pleased to have the opportunity to quote for any project cargo movements you have a requirement for.
