Membership Benefits
Project Cargo Network (PCN) is a global alliance of experienced project cargo and heavy lift specialists. Since 2010, we’ve built a quality-certified, ISO 9001 & 14001 network spanning 350+ companies in 110+ countries — delivering exceptional collaboration and unmatched global reach.
Connect. Collaborate. Grow.
In freight forwarding, your network is your power. At PCN, we bring together like-minded professionals through Annual Summits and Virtual Meeting Weeks, offering the perfect platform to build strong relationships, discover new opportunities, and grow your business — even in unexpected markets.
With capped membership per country, PCN maintains the balance between flexibility and familiarity. You won’t be lost in a crowd — you’ll stand out in a focused network designed for results.
Included in our £1100 Per Year Membership:
Tailored PR & Online Exposure
Members benefit from a dedicated news service included in the Annual Fee. On request, we prepare an article shared across our Network News, eMAGAZINE, and LinkedIn (21.5k+ followers). It works — not only do Members get a spotlight shined on them to their fellow PCN partners but as a direct result some have gained free exposure through interviews with CNN, BBC, Reuters, and Bloomberg.
Investing in Your Team’s Expertise
One of the biggest challenges in our industry is the lack of affordable, accessible training — especially for new and younger staff. That’s why PCN has invested in a custom eLearning Platform, led by an industry expert, to support Member development without the high costs or time away from the office. Our powerful online course includes 7 modules and 71 concise 10-minute sessions, covering everything from industry terminology to heavy lifting, transport, jacking, skidding, and loadouts. It's professional training, made practical.
Marketing Tools That Deliver
Get a personalised online Brochure Website, Sales Brochure in PDF, and we are excited to introduce a new membership benefit: the PCN Vodcast! This innovative video marketing service offers our Members the perfect platform to highlight their fascinating projects.
Smartphone Access & Branded Tools
We provide a Smartphone Service so that the contact details of fellow partners, details of our next meeting and news feed can be found quickly on mobile devices. The service is for use by Members only and v3.0 is now available. We also supply our Members with pop sockets at our events. A very useful stand, earbud holder and grip, reducing the risk of the dreaded screen smash!
Dedicated Communication Tools
A single PCN country email address ensures fast replies and collaboration, with the ability to compare quotes from multiple trusted offices. Plus to keep communication flowing, we also offer a dynamic WhatsApp Group for instant updates and interaction, plus a dedicated Mailing List to ensure you never miss an important announcement or opportunity.
Quote Requests & Global Visibility
PCN drives global traffic to your company through strategic SEO and advertising including our regular full page advert in HLPFI, our partnership with BreakBulk events, and our collaborations with the industry top exhibitions - we aim to drive new business and customers to our Members.
Annual Quality Control & Evidence Audits
At PCN, membership is earned — not simply given. We proudly maintain high standards with companies who have 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.
Protecting Cash Flow with Smart, Secure Tools
At PCN, we know that healthy cash flow is vital. That’s why we’ve taken a smarter, safer approach to financial protection. After consulting legal and insurance experts, we found that bond systems and group liability schemes can be risky — often legally complex and open to fraud. Instead, we developed our own secure online Payment Monitoring System. Members can easily log in to add, track, and manage open invoices. The platform sends automated, fortnightly statements highlighting any outstanding payments — helping to maintain transparency, avoid delays, and strengthen trust across our network.

”Since becoming a member of PCN in 2013, Canaan Group has enjoyed building up strong relationships with like-minded, competent, and experienced project partners around the globe. Technology, various marketing tools, and a strong backroom office at the PCN headquarters have given us a strong competitive advantage. Port to port business is no longer the viable business model. Customers are looking for end to end solutions. Through PCN, this has allowed us to achieve this goal for our global clients.” Patrick Lo, President & CEO, Canaan Group, Canada
"At PCN meetings, familiar faces foster trust and confidence that online interactions can’t match, as I experienced while on a coach in Dubai going for dinner (15-minute drive) we arranged a monster unit from Australia to Africa with one agent, so opportunities are everywhere. Engaging with members opens doors to possibilities, especially in less prominent markets.” Sebastian Laffont of Spark Global Logistics, Australia
