About Project Cargo Network (PCN)
Proudly headquartered in the UK since August 2010, PCN is a world-leading organisation bringing together carefully vetted project cargo and heavy lift specialists across more than 100 countries.
But we're more than a directory of agents. We actively help our Members find partners, identify opportunities, promote their expertise and develop new business worldwide.
With capped membership, annual quality checks, ISO-certified management, specialist training, global marketing, targeted introductions, face-to-face meetings and year-round business exchange, PCN gives independent forwarders the reach and resources of a global organisation while allowing them to retain their independence.
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.
Don't Just Join a Network. Build Your Project Cargo Business.
PCN brings together 350+ specialist companies in 100+ 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.
Membership isn’t bought. It’s earned. PCN membership is reserved for companies with proven expertise in project cargo and heavy lift. Every applicant must demonstrate genuine capability before acceptance, and every Member undergoes an annual Evidence Audit and Quality Control Survey to ensure our high standards are maintained year after year.
The result? A trusted global network of proven specialists, giving you confidence in the partners you work with and exceptional value for just £1,150 per year. Plus, 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.
