Worldwide network. Local know-how. Engineered to deliver
Global expertise for complex project cargo and industrial logistics, with the highest quality, health, safety and environmental standards leading the way.
As industries across the Middle East continue to grow in complexity, industrial projects, infrastructure developments and production sites demand logistics partners with worldwide experience, technical expertise, and innovative solutions. Global Projects & Industry Solutions brings these capabilities together to support even the most challenging project logistics and cargo transportation requirements.
With strategic locations in more than 80 countries, and decades of hands-on experience, DSV is a trusted partner for end-to-end project logistics, supporting customers across the UAE, The Middle East, North Africa and worldwide.
More than transport — a true project partner
When timelines are tight and operational complexity is high, you need more than a carrier. You need a partner who can proactively manage risk, engineer tailored solutions, and deliver with precision.
That’s where DSV excels. Our experienced project logistics teams plan, coordinate, and execute complex cargo movements with a strong focus on safety, reliability, and performance, helping to keep your project on schedule and on budget.
From heavy and oversized cargo to complex industrial project movements, we coordinate the logistics requirements across multiple transport modes and project stages.
Specialised teams. Global reach
Global Projects & Industry Solutions is a dedicated, specialized team within DSV, providing tailored multimodal project logistics solutions for project cargo and defined industry segments.
We utilize all modes of transport for optimal combinations: Ocean, air, road, rail, and inland waterways, to deliver oversized, heavy-lift, containerized, and conventional cargo with maximum efficiency.
Our global network enables us to support complex projects across the Middle East and North Africa while providing access to specialist expertise and resources worldwide.
Tailored solutions — anywhere in the world
Whether supporting remote locations, diverse industry sectors, complex construction schedules, or engineered logistics solutions, we provide a single point of contact - reliable and accountable.
Whether you require fast deliveries to maintain operational sites or complex project cargo transportation to meet critical construction milestones, we manage every detail to help ensure your cargo arrives safely and on time.
Our project logistics specialists work with you from planning and feasibility through to execution, coordinating transport, engineering and project requirements around your specific needs.
Partners, planning and project management - making the difference
Large scale projects begin long before any shipments are actually carried out. We partner with clients in the feasibility and planning stage working together to identify potential transport constraints and design solutions together to deliver the best outcome for the project.
Our project managers, transport engineers and logistics specialists work closely with customers, suppliers and other project stakeholders to coordinate the movement of cargo from origin to final destination.
Engineered solutions - mitigating the risk
Installations are designed and manufactured with transport already in mind. With our in-house transport engineering team, we have the expertise to provide valuable support at the earliest stage to assess construction and procurement plans, ensuring transport equipment capacity and infrastructure adaptations are in the plan.
Risk assessment is an essential element in project managed logistics. Detailed route and site surveys along transport routes identify any limitations posed by infrastructure, climate, season or the political landscape.
For marine transport, we consider hydrographic surveys of shallow water and identify safe havens in case of bad weather or disruptions en route.
Our QHSE Management system is our commitment to the highest industry standards throughout our network. Our goals are ‘Safety First’ and ‘Zero Harm’ to employees, clients, contractors and the environment. We are proud of our safety culture which is evident in our performance, behaviors and risk managed approach to every project delivery.
