Oversize road transport, barge operations and port logistics | Bucharest – Constanța, Romania Moving a 307-tonne industrial vessel measuring 59.4 metres in length, 4.8 metres in width and 4.8 metres in height required an integrated logistics solution combining transport engineering, specialised road transport and coordinated waterborne operations. For the Suzano Cerrado project in Brazil, Eastship Projects & Logistics, a Romania-based provider of oversize transport, barge ope

Heavy haulage and temporary storage logistics for a major road infrastructure project in Romania The Poiana Tunnel, part of Section 3 Cornetu–Tigveni of the A1 Sibiu–Pitești Motorway, is being constructed using a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM), a specialised system designed for large-scale underground excavation. Eastship Projects & Logistics was involved in the project through the transport of TBM components from the Port of Constanța to Călărași, where the equipment was tempor

A 60-tonne Boeing 737 fuselage, a 38-metre convoy and a journey from Otopeni Airport to the mountains of Râșnov. Eastship Projects & Logistics coordinated the road transport of an aircraft destined for a new purpose: becoming part of a hotel project. An aircraft travelling through city streets is not an everyday sight. When a Boeing 737 appeared on a road transport trailer in Bucharest, it quickly caught the attention of drivers and passers-by, with footage of the convoy circ

In oversized transport, reducing transport time and cost often depends on how the cargo is configured, not only on the equipment used to move it. For a transport from Bistrița, Romania, to Le Creusot, France, Eastship Projects & Logistics faced a component whose dimensions made the conventional transport configuration inefficient. Measuring 9.00 m in length and 5.22 m in width, with a weight of 11 tonnes, the component would have required significant traffic management measur

Relocating a fully assembled port crane weighing approximately 1,200t and standing 60 m high required a carefully engineered transport solution within an active port environment. The objective was to transfer the crane from its assembly area to its final operating position on the quay rails, without dismantling the structure. The operation combined hydraulic lifting, modular transport technology, and controlled maneuvering, with each stage planned around the crane's dimension

Two LNG storage tanks measuring approximately 32 metres in length and weighing around 300 tonnes each were part of a much larger industrial shipment coordinated by Eastship Projects & Logistics. The operation involved seven oversized industrial units, with a combined weight of approximately 1,700 tonnes, transported from the Port of Constanța to Tulcea. Alongside the two tanks, the shipment included five heavy industrial engines, each requiring handling arrangements suited to

A 296-tonne convoy, 52 metres long and 5.45 metres high, presents a very different transport problem from a conventional heavy load. For this project, the cargo itself weighed 160.5 tonnes and measured 25.54 metres in length, 4.40 metres in width, and 4.55 metres in height. The complete oversize transport configuration reached 296 tonnes and used a 24-axle modular trailer, with a tractor at the front and a pushing tractor at the rear. The challenge was not only to move the ca

On a conventional road map, the distance between WTB Berceni and the Petrotel Lukoil refinery in Ploiești is around 90 km. For a standard vehicle, that would be a relatively straightforward journey. For a 200-tonne oversize convoy carrying an industrial reactor, the transport required a completely different approach: a carefully engineered route of approximately 300 km. The project is a good example of why, in oversize transport, the distance between two points does not nece

Predictability is one of the most important deliverables in project logistics. For the A1 motorway project in Romania, Eastship is managing the recurring transport of 16-metre structural beams from Italy to Romania — a logistics programme covering almost 2,000 kilometres and four countries. The cargo itself is only part of the challenge. One transport programme. Four countries. The route crosses Italy, Slovenia, Hungary and Romania, with each country bringing its own permit p

You don't see logistics when you switch on the lights. Behind every reliable power grid is a journey few people ever see. Eastship Projects & Logistics recently transported a 250-tonne high voltage transformer over more than 600 kilometres, using a 26-axle modular trailer. Moving equipment of this scale requires more than sufficient transport capacity. The entire operation is engineered around the cargo dimensions, axle loads, centre of gravity and route infrastructure. Route

.Moving one 14-metre structural beam is one transport operation. Moving 50 of them, in sequence, across international borders is a project logistics challenge. For a major viaduct project in the Mureș region of Romania, Eastship is coordinating the transport of 50 structural beams from Verona, Italy. Each beam is approximately 14 meters long and 3 meters high. International transport, planned around the project The beams travel by specialised road transport from Italy to Roma

As part of the Iernut Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) factory project in Romania, Eastship provided autoclave transport and on-site logistics services for seven industrial autoclaves in 2024. The seven autoclaves were transported over a distance exceeding 700 kilometres as part of the logistics requirements for the new AAC production facility. Each autoclave measured 24 meters in length, 3.3 meters in height, 3 meters in width, weighed 45 tons. Autoclave Transport The tran

Hydropower infrastructure projects are among the most demanding undertakings in the industrial sector. They require a perfect alignment of engineering expertise, specialized equipment, and calculated execution—especially when the site is a historic engineering marvel built into a steep mountain face. For the landmark Vidraru Dam upgrade project, Eastship was employed by Electromontaj to handle the high-stakes on-site offloading, maneuvering, and precision foundation placement

Transporting oversized industrial equipment is rarely defined by distance alone. The complexity lies in the engineering required to move the cargo safely through existing infrastructure and deliver it to its final installation area. This was the case with the transportation of a 300-tonne fractionator manufactured by Walter Tosto WTB and delivered from Bucharest to the Petrobrazi Refinery in Romania. The road journey covered approximately 210 kilometres, but the project requi
