About Project Cargo Network (PCN)
Proudly headquartered in the UK, Project Cargo Network (PCN) is a world-leading organisation for heavy lift and project cargo specialists. Since our launch in August 2010, we've grown into a powerful global force, connecting top-tier logistics experts through a trusted and carefully vetted network.
With our PCN Head Office certified to ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) standards, we ensure our Members operate with the highest levels of professionalism, efficiency, and safety.
Global Reach, Local Expertise
PCN brings together 350+ specialist companies in 110+ countries, giving our Members global coverage that surpasses many multinational operators. This strong international footprint provides unrivalled access to expertise in transporting oversized, heavy, and complex cargo — across a wide range of sectors including energy, mining, infrastructure, petrochemical, construction, and more.
From turbines, reactors, and satellites to components for offshore oil rigs, our Members expertly manage complex logistics for shipments that require precise planning and execution from origin to destination. Whether it’s Break Bulk (BB), Heavy Lift (HL), or Out of Gauge (OOG) cargo, PCN Members coordinate with skill, safety, and reliability.
With the global shift toward sustainable energy, PCN Members are already playing a key role in managing the transport of oversize equipment for green energy projects. As investment in clean technology accelerates, so too do opportunities for our network.
Driving Growth Through Connection
Networking is at the heart of our success. Our Annual Summits and Virtual Meeting Weeks give Members the opportunity to form valuable partnerships, exchange leads, and stay ahead of industry trends — all while building lasting relationships. These events are where business gets done, and growth is realised.
Our vibrant Network News and eMAGAZINE feature real success stories — from Members securing major contracts to handling headline-making cargo movements. It’s clear proof of the powerful collaborations fostered within our network.
Exclusivity & Quality Control
Unlike many networks that are non-exclusive, PCN strikes the perfect balance. We cap membership at a sensible limit — no more than 5 companies per country (8 in key markets including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, India, Turkiye, UAE and USA). This ensures Members enjoy both the flexibility of a non-exclusive network and the close-knit camaraderie of an exclusive one.
Plus at PCN, membership is earned — not simply given. We proudly welcome only companies with proven expertise in handling full-scale project cargo and heavy lift shipments. Each Member undergoes a strict Evidence Audit and Quality Control Survey every year to ensure consistent standards and capability.
We don’t require Members to cancel existing agency ties — we simply ask that all new business opportunities are first offered to fellow PCN Members.
