End-to-end logistics planning for international projects, including project cargo, route surveys, ports, customs, heavy transport, storage and site-delivery sequencing.
Lifecycle position
Convert the bid into executable packages by controlling subcontractors, suppliers, international sourcing, logistics routes, supply-chain exposure and contract terms before commitments become difficult to reverse.
Service at a glance
Project logistics should influence procurement before equipment is ordered. Dimensions, weight, centre of gravity, lifting points, packaging, hazardous classification, transport envelope and delivery sequence can determine which supplier, port and route are feasible.
Gokbilge integrates logistics planning with engineering, procurement and construction rather than requesting freight quotations after manufacturing is complete.
The route can be reviewed from factory gate through inland haulage, export terminal, vessel or airfreight, transshipment, destination port, customs, border crossings and final site access. Road width, bridge capacity, axle limits, turning radius, overhead clearances and seasonal restrictions are considered where relevant.
Port selection considers berth depth, crane capacity, Ro-Ro or Lo-Lo capability, storage, congestion, customs performance, security, demurrage and onward-road capacity. The nearest port is not always the lowest-risk route.
Import planning is tied to HS classification, origin, temporary or permanent import status, exemptions, duties, licences, inspections and required approvals. Importer-of-record and customs-broker responsibilities are assigned before shipment.
Documentation milestones are included in the logistics schedule because missing certificates, packing lists, origin documents or permits can stop cargo even when the physical route is clear.
Shipment dates are linked to manufacturing release, vessel booking, customs lead time, storage capacity, erection sequence and site readiness. Early delivery is not automatically beneficial when there is no protected storage or installation front available.
Heavy-lift and oversized items are coordinated with crane availability, temporary roads, laydown areas and erection windows so transport and installation form one executable sequence.
Gokbilge coordinates assumptions and interfaces with freight forwarders, carriers, customs brokers, heavy-lift specialists and site teams. Actual carriage, customs brokerage and regulated transport services remain with appropriately licensed providers.
