Delivering 50 Structural Beams from Italy to Romania

.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 Romania, requiring route planning, oversized transport permits, equipment coordination and delivery scheduling across multiple countries.

But the main consideration is not simply getting the cargo from Verona to the construction site.

The deliveries need to follow the construction schedule, with the beams arriving in the required sequence and within the agreed delivery windows. This allows the construction team to maintain its planned workflow without unnecessary storage or interruptions.

For a project involving 50 similar oversized loads, this means planning the transport program as a whole — rather than treating each delivery as an individual movement.

Coordinating project cargo across borders

International infrastructure projects often involve complex supply chains, multiple transport stages and strict site schedules. When oversized project cargo is involved, logistics needs to account for the specific requirements of every country along the route, as well as the conditions at the final destination.

Eastship coordinates the key elements of the operation, from route and permit planning to specialised equipment and delivery sequencing.

The objective is simple: keep the transport programme aligned with the construction programme.
