Heavy Lift – Project Cargo

With our extensive surveying experience, at OceanEx, we routinely conduct specialized inspections, risk assessments, and advisory services for heavy lift and project cargo, including oversized industrial equipment, gas turbines, transformers, wind turbine components, locomotives, generators, yachts, catamarans, and modular units.
