What Liburnia Group does

Liburnia Group is a privately held logistics company headquartered in Croatia (Opatija) that provides heavy lift and project cargo transportation services. The firm operates six interconnected service lines: project logistics (oversize/overweight cargo), chartering and brokerage, complex freight forwarding, industrial relocation of machinery and production lines, port agency representation, and in-house engineering and surveys covering lifting, lashing, stowage, and securing plans. Its core delivery model is built around an integrated group structure — encompassing related entities such as Velebit-Promet, Tanta Agency, and Back to Blu — with personnel physically positioned at ports, airports, and cargo points to compress handoffs and accelerate decision-making on tight-route and heavy-cargo assignments.

The company targets enterprise customers in five defined verticals: energy and power generation (transformers, turbines), renewables and offshore (wind, BESS, offshore cargo), construction and infrastructure, IMO/defense/dangerous goods, and high-value communication and IT equipment. It sells directly through an enterprise field-sales motion, with each engagement requiring bespoke technical assessment, route planning, and documentation; pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed. Operational credibility is anchored by DNV-certified ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 management systems, and execution is supported by a curated partner network of 16+ certified and insured organizations enabling cross-border project execution.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee or project-fee basis across each service line, with no subscription or recurring SaaS-style component. The business is asset-light in terms of owned vessels or fleet but relies on engineering talent, port-side relationships, and partner capacity to deliver. Ownership and capital structure are not disclosed in source materials; no funding rounds, M&A, or institutional investors are referenced, and the company markets itself globally via a website and LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram presence.
