In practice, UNI supports door-to-door service with management and distribution as a core capability, including partial or full ship and vessel chartering to match cargo profiles and project requirements, as well as Ro-Ro, break-bulk, and containerized solutions to optimize transit times and cost efficiency. Their multi-modal capacity enables them to tailor solutions to specific cargo types—such as cranes, earth-moving machines, drilling rigs, generators, draglines, and other heavy machinery—while maintaining strict adherence to schedules and budgets. For projects in mining, gas/oil and refinery, engineering and construction, civil and energy development, aerospace and defense, and manufacturing and boating, UNI brings a disciplined, process-driven approach that integrates technical engineering with practical logistics, ensuring that complex cargoes are delivered to remote sites, industrial facilities, or sea-based locations with minimal risk and maximum predictability. The company’s project management practice facilitates close coordination with project managers, vendors, and procurement teams to design transportation plans that optimize sequencing, access, storage, and installation timing, while providing visibility into shipment status, exceptions, and ETA adjustments. In addition to physical movement, UNI offers regulatory and financial support, including customs clearance expertise, L/C negotiation, and banking services, enabling smoother cross-border transactions and improved cash-flow management for large-scale imports and exports.
