Project Cargo planned, not improvised
Heavy-lift, out-of-gauge and break-bulk moves from and to Italy: engineered around the cargo, the route and the lift, with the right vessel, equipment and paperwork.
Project cargo lives or dies on planning
Project moves rarely fail at the lift. They fail at a permit, a missing measurement, a wrong vessel choice, a route survey nobody did. Delta Novel gives the planning the attention the cargo deserves.
Engineered planning, not freight by guess
Lift plans, lashing schemes, vessel selection and route surveys reviewed against the actual dimensions and weights — not against a brochure.
Multimodal by design
Heavy-haul road, flat-rack ocean, project air charter and inland barge coordinated as one route — with permits, escort and clearances aligned to the lift schedule.
Compliance and insurance owned
Permits, route surveys, marine insurance and HSE documentation owned by the project desk — not pushed back on the shipper at the last minute.
Heavy, oversized, time-locked
When the cargo is the project, every detail matters. Delta Novel runs project moves with engineering rigour and a forwarder’s feet-on-the-ground execution.
Heavy-lift ocean
Heavy-lift vessels, mafi-roll, RoRo and break-bulk planned with the right carrier and the right port pair.
Out-of-gauge & flat rack
Open-top, flat-rack and multi-container lashing for oversized industrial cargo on container vessels.
Heavy-haul road
Low-loader, modular trailers and SPMT, with permits, escorts and route surveys.
Project air charter
Full and part-charter for time-locked components, working with the project-friendly aircraft types.
Inland & barge
River barge and inland coordination where it makes sense for oversized loads or last-mile to site.
On-site coordination
On-site supervision at lift, load and discharge, with photographic and HSE documentation.
Engineering & route planning
Cargo dimensions and weights are checked against bridge, tunnel and gauge clearances; lifts are planned with the rigging contractor; permits and escorts are sequenced against the carrier schedule.
- Route surveys against bridges, tunnels and gauge
- Lift plans with rigging contractor
- Permits, escorts and HSE sequenced
Flat-rack & special equipment
Flat-rack lashing, dunnage, cradles and over-sized clearance — booked with carriers that actually load these moves, not on a generic FCL slot that gets refused at gate.
- Flat-rack lashing and cradles
- Carrier-specific OOG approvals
- Photographic load record
Heavy-lift execution
On-site supervision at the lift, with the rigging contractor, the port and the carrier on the same brief — and a Delta Novel coordinator owning the file end-to-end.
- Supervised lift and load
- Photographic and HSE record
- Single coordinator end-to-end

Every shipment, every document, every milestone — in one portal.
Every Delta Novel service lands in the same portal: milestone timeline, route map, document status and warehouse arrivals, updated by the same operators who run your file.
Live shipment timeline
Booking, departure, transshipment, arrival, customs, delivery: every milestone recorded on the file, dated.
Document status
Bills of lading, invoices, certificates and customs paperwork in one place — ready or pending, never lost in email.
Route map visibility
Origin, transshipment and destination plotted on the route map for ocean, road and multimodal moves.
