What Trans Global Projects does

Trans Global Projects (TGP) is a UK-headquartered private project logistics management company founded in 1988, operating 35 offices across five continents through wholly owned subsidiaries including Natco AG (Switzerland), Natco GmbH (Germany), and TGP Brasil. The firm delivers end-to-end logistics for oversized, heavy-lift, and time-critical cargo across seven vertical sectors: oil and gas, power, mining and metals, petrochemical, renewables, construction and infrastructure, and aviation. Services span project logistics management, ship chartering, multi-modal freight forwarding (air, ocean, overland), aviation logistics, supply chain management, and value-added services such as biosecurity, customs brokerage, transport insurance, and IT systems integration. TGP is privately held under Breezeline International Group Ltd (owned by senior management) with no institutional funding rounds disclosed.

The company's commercial model is enterprise project-based, quoting each engagement against cargo specifications, routes, and scope, typically on multi-year contracts (e.g., the Karachaganak Gas Condensate Project: USD 220 million over five years, 1.6 million tonnes; Netherlands hydrogen project: 89,000 CBM over 16 months). Distribution is direct enterprise sales through regional offices with no channel partners; technical differentiation rests on custom transport frame engineering (e.g., the largest outer-dimensional single piece of cargo flown on a B777F), integrated multi-modal planning, and compliance credentials including IATA, ISO 9001/14001/45001, AEO in UK and Switzerland, and TRACE anti-bribery certification. TGP is undergoing active geographic expansion (new offices in Malaysia, Finland, Belo Horizonte, and a dedicated Bremen airfreight department during 2025-2026) alongside a senior leadership refresh, and is extending into hydrogen and renewables logistics while pursuing climate-neutral service offerings through its Natco AG subsidiary and ClimatePartner partnership.

Broad incumbents

• DB Schenker: DB Schenker operates a major project logistics and heavy lift forwarding practice globally, competing with TGP across oil & gas, mining, and renewables verticals. TGP's UK Business Development Director Michael Andrews previously led project logistics at DB Schenker across Asia Pacific.
• Expeditors International: Expeditors is a major global freight forwarder with strong air and ocean freight forwarding capabilities. While less focused on heavy-lift project logistics than the direct peers above, Expeditors competes with TGP on time-critical airfreight and complex multi-modal forwarding segments.
• CEVA Logistics: CEVA Logistics is a global freight forwarder and contract logistics provider with project logistics capability, owned by CMA CGM. It competes with TGP in energy and industrial project forwarding, offering greater ocean carrier integration and balance-sheet scale.
• DHL Global Forwarding: DHL Global Forwarding, part of Deutsche Post DHL Group, operates a dedicated Industrial Projects division handling oversized, heavy-lift, and project cargo. It competes with TGP across energy, mining, and renewables mega-projects with much greater scale and integrated air/ocean capacity.
• DSV: DSV is a global transport and logistics company with significant project logistics capability following its acquisition of Panalpina. DSV competes with TGP for complex multi-modal project contracts, with greater scale and a publicly listed balance sheet.
• Kuehne + Nagel: Kuehne + Nagel is one of the world's largest freight forwarders with a global project logistics and heavy lift division. Several TGP senior hires (e.g., Michael Andrews) came from K+N, underscoring direct competition for project cargo tenders across the same vertical sectors.
• Agility Logistics: Agility Logistics is a Kuwait-headquartered global freight forwarder with significant project logistics and oil & gas forwarding capabilities across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. It competes with TGP in energy sector tenders with comparable geographic spread.

Direct peers

• Deugro: Deugro is a leading global specialist in project, heavy lift, and breakbulk forwarding, headquartered in Germany. It is the most direct competitor to TGP, with comparable focus on oversized, heavy-lift project cargo for energy, mining, and infrastructure clients and similar global office footprint.
• Fr. Meyer's Sohn: Fr. Meyer's Sohn (FMS) is a German-headquartered global freight forwarder specialising in project logistics, heavy lift, and breakbulk for industrial clients. It competes head-to-head with TGP in energy, mining, and infrastructure mega-project tenders across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.

Emerging players

• Mammoet: Mammoet is a global leader in heavy lifting and engineered transport, headquartered in the Netherlands. While primarily a heavy lift specialist rather than a freight forwarder, Mammoet is an adjacent player in the project cargo ecosystem, often partnering with or competing against forwarders like TGP on oversized moves.
