We are specialized in Project & Heavy Lift cargoes, but in our specialty, we are generalists in the work we do.
Due our extended contacts with asset owners, shipping lines, freight forwarders and insurance companies, we do know what our customers really want and where to get it.
The combination of our experts in the field, the engineering department and our certified software gives us a unique position in the market.
As specialists in project- and heavy lift cargoes, we are generalists in this specific field of work. Driven by a team of independent third party warranty surveyors based world-wide, we can act immediately if attendance is needed on urgent basis at land, sea or air transport. We can offer a complete door-to-door service, supervising the handling and processes, involved with multi modal transport.
We have a broad experience when it comes to different ways of transporting cargo, including but not limited to SPMT, Barging, Towage, Roll-On – Roll Off, Float In – Float Out and general multi-purpose and heavy-lift vessels.
All our surveyors can rely on a broad seafarer’s experience, mostly master mariners and captains from heavy lift vessels. We train and educate them in our own education centre and we have an extensive own engineering department that supports them with their knowledge, skill and tools.
Because many of them have also a broad experience as Port Captain/Cargo Superintendent, they really know where to look at and they know how they can be tricked.

For many parties it’s highly important to keep control of the whole transport of their precious goods. As specialists in project- and heavy lift cargoes, we know what we can expect in our field of work.
From factory to the foundation, we can assist every part of the transport on road, sea and in the air. The combination of our engineering team, independent surveyor and supercargo experience, makes us a solid partner for asset owners, freight forwarders or insurance companies. At every stage of the transport, we can assist with our knowledge to solve logistic issues and attend at any location where eyes and ears are needed.
Per example in the energy/renewables sector, it’s highly important to have a 24/7 grip on the situation. Especially when it comes to huge working-sites with ditto logistic operations. We can assist in the pre-planning phase, sort out the best logistic solution, help with all the approvals/certificates and be at the site to manage the whole operation.
A recent project carried out under our leadership is the Amrumbank West Offshore Windfarm. As a customer’s representative for one of the market leaders in the monopile and transition pieces industry, Global Cargo Care was assigned to take care of the logistic project management and complete site management in Cuxhaven, Germany. The long-term project Amrumbank West Offshore Wind Farm comprehended 80 Turbines, 37km northwest of the island of Helgoland in the North Sea. Not only in Cuxhaven, but also from our office in the Netherlands we assisted the client with important matters; extending the storage area, crane choice and logistic issues in the supply chain.

Our in-house engineering department – consisting of engineers and naval architects – is available for creating, plans for stowage, lifting, lashing and securing, deck strength and stability calculations, Method Statements, complicated FEM-analysis and complete feasibility-studies are created by this department.
Continuous developments of innovative solutions can be realised through close collaboration between ship owners, contractors, designers, suppliers and shipyards. This unique collaboration makes Global Cargo Care a reliable partner, ensuring the design and construction of dedicated advanced solutions to meet customer needs.
We are pragmatic problem solvers committed to providing practical solutions for the local and international maritime industry. This department can also be a flex grid for your company and work under your company name.
Especially in the off-shore, it’s more and more important to see in advance how the operation will be. This can be visualized by creating 3D-models or CGI-content. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is the application of 3D computer graphics to special effects. The visual scenes may be either dynamic or static.
3D-modelling is the process of developing a mathematical representation of any three-dimensional surface of object (either inanimate or living) via specialized software. It can be displayed as a two-dimensional image through a process called 3D rendering or used in a computer simulation of physical phenomena.
Despite the fact that this is mostly a very time consuming work, it gives very valuable information about the operation to all parties involved.
In addition to the services of Global Cargo Care, we developed Videck, the new standard in lashing & securing of heavy-lift & project cargo. Videck is the only class approved, Lloyd’s Register certified software for lashing & securing in the world, and offers the possibility to easily make professional calculations in accelerations, simulate lashing & securing and helps you creating method statements.
Our experts have full access to this software to double-check the situation real-time and according IMO or DNV-GL regulations.
Without the knowledge, you can’t be a frontrunner. We are continuously using our practical and theoretical experience to think about ways to make work better. You have to be always one step ahead.
Besides the engineering, we provide surveyors and cargo superintendents to support on site and during transport.

Besides heavy-lift and project cargo surveys, Global Cargo Care can also perform roundness / circularity surveys.
These surveys will be applied from the offshore industry and sometimes for measurements on heat-exchanger casings. A classified expert will measure the diameter of each end of the pipe on 6-8 different corners with a total station, which has an accuracy of +/- 1 mm. If you want to have more information about the possibilities, please contact our team.
