Case Study: Delivering Project Cargo in Ireland, the UK and Singapore
At TCB Group, our project cargo capabilities are proven through real-world successes delivered by our teams across Europe and Asia. Each branch combines local knowledge with global expertise, ensuring that oversized freight is managed with precision from planning to execution.
- Ireland: Our Irish operations have long supported the country’s thriving materials processing sector. We work closely with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to move large, complex machinery to markets worldwide. A recent project involved the coordination and transport of 14 heavy cable drums, each weighing over 8 tonnes. The shipment required detailed planning, specialised equipment, and careful handling to guarantee safe international delivery.

These strategic hubs allow us to manage a wide range of industrial shipments, from construction materials to energy infrastructure components. By combining secure storage with advanced handling equipment, we provide seamless project cargo logistics tailored to the specific needs of UK-based clients.
- Singapore: Serving as a gateway to Asia and beyond, our Singapore branch has become a trusted partner for large-scale international projects. At Jurong Port Terminal, our team recently successfully oversaw the shipping of 48 oversized pipes, each with a diameter of 38 inches, bound for Benin, Africa. This complex movement demanded close coordination and oversight to ensure a flawless delivery by our project cargo experts in compliance with SLA regulations.
Across all three regions, TCB Group demonstrates the same commitment: precision planning, dependable execution, and customer-focused solutions that ensure oversized cargo arrives safely, securely, and on schedule.
