When cargo doesn’t fit the standard – how we handle complex logistics

Not every cargo can be transported using standard logistics solutions. Handling large, heavy, or otherwise technically demanding cargo requires special expertise and careful logistics management.

Nurminen Logistics offers comprehensive logistics solutions for heavy cargo handling, transportation, warehousing, and project logistics. If needed, our experts can take responsibility for the entire logistics chain.

Key factors for successful project logistics

When it comes to heavy or otherwise special cargo, a single transport project can include many different services: road, sea, or rail transport, as well as terminal services and warehousing. The more complex the cargo, the more important project coordination becomes.

Heavy, oversized, and complex cargo usually requires:

• Route planning and special permits
• Detailed scheduling with ports and terminals
• Special equipment and heavy-lifting know-how
• Certified and trained personnel
• Project coordination and continuous communication between different operators

Well-planned project logistics minimizes delays and risks, ensuring that valuable cargo reaches its destination safely and on schedule.

Reliable solutions for all industries

Nurminen Logistics offers heavy cargo and project logistics solutions where every detail is carefully planned – from route planning to final delivery. Our own terminals, multimodal routes, and technical expertise make us a reliable partner capable of handling even the most complex projects. We take care of the logistics so our customers can focus on their business!

We offer solutions for, for example:

• Energy industry renewal projects (e.g. BESS units)
• Data centre component transportation
• Heavy and over-sized cargo logistics
• Metals & industrial goods deliveries

Krister Block, Sales & Key Account Specialist, describes Nurminen Logistics’ services:

“At Nurminen, we deliver a wide range of breakbulk and project logistics solutions across various industries. We are often brought in as experts for the most demanding transport segments of a project, or, when needed, we can manage the entire logistics chain from start to finish. 

Our customers particularly value our fast responses and our willingness to develop new, tailored solutions. What sets us apart is that we do not offer off-the-shelf solutions; instead, we design each transport according to the specific needs of the customer.

We always plan our solutions based on the customer’s requirements and actively look for alternative options when beneficial. In one project shipment, I proposed a port better suited in terms of location instead of the one originally planned by the customer. As a result, the transport was faster, and costs were reduced. This kind of focus on the customer’s overall benefit is at the core of everything we do.

We also have an extensive and reliable international partner network that strengthens our service capability. As another key differentiator, I would like to highlight our heavy cargo handling facility in Helsinki, Finland, which enables safe handling of large and demanding units indoors as well. 

I would be happy to discuss these topics further at the upcoming Breakbulk Europe exhibition!”

Nurminen Logistics will be attending Breakbulk Europe

Nurminen Logistics will be an exhibitor at Europe’s leading project cargo event in Rotterdam from June 16–18. Come and meet our experts to discuss how we ensure the smooth execution of demanding and oversized transport from start to finish.
