What CEA Project Logistics does

CEA Project Logistics is a privately held, asset-based project logistics provider headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, with regional operations established in Myanmar (January 2013) and Cambodia (2018). The company was founded by Kevin Fisher and serves enterprise clients in energy, mining, petrochemical, infrastructure, telecommunications, aviation, and industrial manufacturing sectors across Southeast Asia and select international destinations. Its core offering covers the full project logistics lifecycle, including heavy lift engineering (strand jacks, tower lift systems, crawler cranes, skidding systems, SPMTs), heavy transport of oversized cargo, module loadout, freight forwarding, vessel chartering, warehousing, mechanical and electrical installations, and integrated sourcing and procurement services.

The technology foundation rests on a fleet of more than 150 owned trucks, trailers, cranes, and material handling units supplemented by network access to cranes up to 1,800 tonnes, proprietary CEA Surelift modular spreader beams (SL70, SL250), and AutoCAD-based 3D heavy lift simulation drawings. Pricing is project-based and custom-quoted rather than tiered, with revenues earned primarily through professional services engagements and managed service equipment rental.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales supported by dedicated technical and administrative teams, complemented by participation in industry exhibitions (Kormarine, Vietnam Wind Energy Summit), industry network memberships (Project Cargo Network, Project Logistics Alliance, OOG Project Cargo Network, OPCA), and a 2016 consortium agreement with Fagioli Italy covering Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. The business is wholly founder-controlled with no disclosed external investment, holds ISO 9001:2008 certification and a SHE-Q safety management system, and operates without a public listing.

Broad incumbents

• Mammoet: Mammoet is the world's largest heavy lifting and engineered transport specialist, operating SPMTs, crawler cranes and modular transporters worldwide. It is a broad incumbent that competes with CEA for the same SE Asia energy, mining, and infrastructure oversized-cargo scopes but at much larger scale.
• Sarens: Sarens is a global leader in crane rental, heavy lifting, and modular transport with thousands of assets worldwide. It is a broad incumbent that overlaps directly with CEA's heavy-lift, heavy-transport, and module-loadout services across energy and infrastructure projects.
• A.P. Moller-Maersk Project Logistics: Maersk's project logistics arm provides integrated project cargo, heavy lift, and supply chain services globally, including in SE Asia. As a broad incumbent it competes with CEA on enterprise freight forwarding and project cargo contracts.

Direct peers

• Fagioli: Fagioli is an Italian heavy-lift and transport specialist with which CEA shares a strategic SEA consortium. Outside the consortium geographies it is a direct competitor in heavy haulage, SPMT moves, strand-jack lifts, and barge transport for refinery, power, and module projects.
• BigLift Shipping: BigLift operates a fleet of heavy-lift vessels and provides project cargo ocean transportation. It is comparable to CEA's vessel-chartering and module-loadout service line for energy and infrastructure cargoes moving through SE Asian ports.
• Trans Global Projects (TGP): TGP is an international project cargo and heavy-lift logistics specialist with offices across Asia. It is closely comparable to CEA in offering turn-key project logistics, oversized transport, and route studies for energy and infrastructure clients.
• Deugro Group: Deugro is a global project freight forwarder specializing in oversized and breakbulk cargo for energy, mining, and infrastructure clients. It competes with CEA's freight forwarding and project-logistics division and serves similar IOC, EPC, and mining customers.
• Blue Water Shipping: Blue Water Shipping is a global project logistics and freight forwarding provider with strong energy and mining focus. It parallels CEA's project logistics, vessel chartering, and cross-border forwarding model and competes for the same heavy-lift tenders.

Regional players

• Zoomlion Heavy Industry (Hoang Anh Gia Lai JSC – Vietnam heavy equipment): Zoomlion is a major Asian heavy machinery and crane manufacturer with regional service capabilities. While primarily an OEM, its project equipment and crane-rental services overlap with parts of CEA's heavy-lift fleet and Southeast Asia service scope.

Emerging players

• ACCO Heavy Lift: ACCO is a heavy-lift shipping line serving breakbulk and project cargo customers worldwide. It overlaps with CEA's vessel-chartering and module-loadout offerings, particularly for oil & gas and renewables projects in APAC.
