Projekt Cargo Project and General Cargo Heavy Lifts Large Volume Units Complex and Conventional Cargo One of UniShip's divisions has specialized in total transport solutions of project and general cargo, heavy lifts, large volume units, as well as complex and conventional cargo, mainly in Northern Europe. Shipments are carried out by Unifeeder?s modern fleet or specially chartered tonnage or barges depending on the individual assignment, which gives a considerable degree of flexibility and opportunity with almost no limitations. Our experiences range from small to large total solutions which demand a very good knowledge of planning and coordinating of pre- and oncarriage to and from site, handling, loading, unloading, lashing, securing, and stowage of the cargo. This job is undertaken by our professional, skilled staff appointing and controlling the individual subcontractors. Thus nothing is left to chance and every transport is covered by one Combined Transport Bill of Lading at one fixed price. The chartering department offers a wide range of tonnage of dry cargo carriers in the charter market and gives the clients great advantages of flexibility to the increasingly complex transport demand. Uniship offers shipping solutions from coastal shipping with ports of call far inland to northern and southern Europe. Professional, efficient and friendly staff Coordination of loading and discharge operations 24 hours' service throughout the year On-line with customs and port authorities Clearance of a vessel is not just saying "hello" to the captain and his crew. It requires a lot more to take care of your interests, such as experience and efficiency in order to coordinate the individual despatch and render a 24 hours' service besides all the local formalities involved, when entering a port. Our good relations with shippers, receivers, and local authorities combined with our knowledge of the cargo involved, ensure a smooth and fast despatch. We can provide and arrange all types of provisions, repairs, medical attendance, travel tickets, surveys, bunkering, crew relief, salvage, etc. The port of Copenhagen is extremely well-situated with easy access to the rest of Denmark and other Scandinavian ports, and vessels with drafts up to 10 m can be accommodated. Through our many years of cooperation with stevedores in Copenhagen, we can arrange for handling of any type of cargo, including lifts up to 120 tons. We are also serving the ports of Avedore Holmen, Kastrup and Helsingor.
