RTM Lines sets the standard for efficient, reliable, and safe transport of Abnormal / High & Heavy cargo.

We classify High and Heavy ocean cargo as any piece the dimensions of which exceed (LxWxH) 18 x 4.5 x 4.5 Meters and/or its weight exceeds 80 Metric Tons.

Abnormal / High & Heavy or Out Of Gauge (OOG) Shipping

This class of ocean cargo often requires extra special attention as well as specialized handling and equipment for safety and efficiency. When it comes to ocean transportation of unwieldy cargoes, competent, careful planning is the hallmark of RTM’s High and Heavy service. Abnormal loads present their own unique challenges that demand and require a dedicated team who’s proficient in logistical planning and execution.

RTM Lines has distinguished itself as an authority in the High and Heavy arena by navigating its clients through the difficulties faced when routing oversized shipments. High and Heavy requests are handled exclusively through RTM’s Advanced Project Desk (APD). APD specialists and team members are comprised of seasoned executives with extensive knowledge of the unique demands required for transporting oversized, sensitive cargo across the world’s oceans.
