  • Heavy-lift or OOG handling — SPMTs, specialized trailers, bridge analyses, route surveys
  • Sea chartering & low-draft vessels — including the Caspian Sea and similar restricted areas
  • Complex coordination — permits, port operations, cross-border regulatory alignment

We operate transparently under the Dutch Forwarding Conditions (NL) and UTIKAD General Terms (TR).
