Navigating the Next Era of Global Trade: Comprehensive Worldwide Logistics Solutions

The global trade landscape has fundamentally shifted, moving away from systems built purely on cost efficiency toward those prioritizing resilience, flexibility, and technological integration. In this environment, logistics is no longer just about movement; it’s about strategic advantage. At MSF Logistics, we offer comprehensive Worldwide Logistics Solutions designed to transform your operations from reactive crisis management to proactive, anticipatory resilience.
We combine decades of operational experience with detailed knowledge of complex regulatory environments to ensure your cargo—no matter how challenging—reaches its destination safely and on time.


Specialized Expertise: Handling Complexity with Precision
Moving high-value, oversized, or regulated materials requires specialized knowledge that goes far beyond standard freight forwarding. Our expertise spans the most demanding sectors, providing confidence and continuity where risks are highest.


Project Cargo Logistics Worldwide and Heavy Lift Shipping Solutions
Transporting large-scale industrial components or heavy machinery—essential for construction, mining, or manufacturing—involves unique risks, from potential equipment damage to mechanical failures during transit.


We mitigate these challenges through meticulous planning:

  • • Load Integrity: Ensuring proper securing using heavy-duty chains and straps, combined with specialized vehicles (potentially featuring air suspension) to minimize vibrations. Overloading is strictly managed by calculating exact weights and dimensions and ensuring proper load distribution to maintain the vehicle’s center of gravity.
  • • Route Planning: Employing skilled drivers and planning routes in advance to avoid known hazards, weight-restricted roads, or low bridges.
  • • End-to-End Handling: Addressing all common risks associated with Heavy Lift Shipping Solutions, ensuring we manage compliance, security (using GPS tracking), and robust contingency plans for mechanical failures or adverse weather.

Expert Dangerous Goods (DG) Transport
The movement of Dangerous Goods (DG) Transport requires adherence to some of the most regulated safety systems worldwide. For sea transport, this means strict compliance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, which covers nine distinct classes, from Explosives (Class 1) to Radioactive Material (Class 7).


Our specialized knowledge ensures safety and compliance:

  • • Classification and Containment: We manage the complex requirements for materials like Radioactive Material (Class 7), which necessitates rigorous packaging (e.g., Type A, B, or C containers) and mandatory marking to display the package category (I-WHITE, II-YELLOW, or III-YELLOW) along with the transport index.
  • • Regulatory Adherence: We ensure every shipment is correctly classified, packed, marked, labeled, and segregated from other materials that could react dangerously, as mandated by the IMDG Code. This technical detail demonstrates our commitment to the highest safety standards in this critical sector.

When Every Second Counts: Time-Critical Air Logistics
For emergencies where production lines face costly downtime (potentially €20,000 per minute in the automotive sector), standard air freight solutions are insufficient. We provide Time-Critical Air Logistics solutions designed to maximize the chances of the earliest possible delivery.


Our priority air freight services ensure speed through:

  • • Highest Priority Booking: Utilizing available cargo space on regular passenger flights and booking shipments under a unique LTA as "Must-Go cargo".
  • • Dedicated Operations: Expediting shipments using dedicated express vans for airport delivery/pickup, and running export and import procedures overnight or on weekends when necessary.
  • • Speed Advantage: This premium service can save you two to five days transit time door-to-door on an international shipment compared to a standard air solution.

Strategic Resilience and Comprehensive Protection
Resilience in the modern supply chain is underpinned by deep visibility, accurate forecasting, and financial protection.


Driving Global Supply Chain Optimization with Data
The shift toward anticipatory resilience is driven by technology. We leverage tools like AI and predictive analytics to provide real-time monitoring and advanced insights. This focus on digital transformation, combined with flexible sourcing and optimized inventory strategies (moving away from rigid just-in-time models), ensures your supply chain is adaptable and robust. We help you strategically redesign your supply networks to enhance agility and mitigate regional risks.


Transparent International Freight Quotes and Risk Management
Securing a competitive and accurate rate begins with detailed information. When requesting International Freight Quotes, clients must provide precise product details, dimensions, Hazmat classification, cargo ready dates, and crucially, the agreed-upon Incoterms®.
We prioritize clarity regarding Incoterms® (such as FCA, DPU) as these internationally accepted terms define who—the buyer or seller—is responsible for tasks, costs, and risks. Miscommunication here can lead to delays or unexpected fines. Our detailed documentation ensures you know exactly who pays for what, helping to prevent costly disputes.


Ensuring Global Cargo Insurance Coverage
Protecting your high-value assets is paramount. We understand that insurance requirements are closely linked to your chosen Incoterm. For instance, the Incoterms® 2020 update increased the minimum insurance requirement for CIP (Carriage and Insurance Paid to) to the highest standard, Institute Cargo Clauses (A).
Clauses (A) provide the least restrictive coverage, covering all risk of loss or damage with certain exceptions. While this is generally more expensive than the highly restrictive Clause (C), it is essential for manufactured goods and multimodal shipments. We advise clients on appropriate Global Cargo Insurance Coverage to ensure protection aligns with the value and specific risks of the cargo and the journey.
