Survey early

Dimensions and lifting points confirmed before booking fantasies.

Route realism

Port, road, and vessel constraints checked against the piece.

Method statement

Clear plan for packing, lifting, and securing.

Overview

OOG shipments fail without early engineering of dimensions and route. We plan surveys, gear, and port handling so oversized pieces move safely and predictably.

Out-of-gauge cargo punishes optimism. If length, width, height, or weight breaks standard equipment assumptions, the move must be engineered—not improvised at the terminal.

MarineCaddie starts with accurate measurements, photos, and lifting points. We then test which modes and ports can actually accept the piece within your deadline.

Method statements, lashing concepts, and partner selection come before the booking confirmation email. That order saves weeks.

OOG work often pairs with heavy lift, project cargo, and multimodal planning when the journey has more than one awkward leg.

OOG success is measurement discipline. We would rather delay a booking one day for true dimensions than redesign a method mid-journey because a drawing was optimistic.

Route surveys and port capability checks are part of the product. A piece that fits a vessel but not the discharge quay is not a completed plan.

FAQs

When dimensions or weight exceed standard equipment envelopes for the chosen mode—we advise after reviewing drawing packs.

Where local rules require escorts or permits, we include them in the plan.

Yes, when port and vessel receiving capabilities allow—planned jointly with agents.

No. Some OOG moves use specialised road or air solutions; we choose based on gauge, weight, and clock.

Late or wrong dimensions. Measure once properly before we design the method.
