Project Logistics & Supply Chain Advisory
Road & Port Survey Advisory for oversized loads.
A seemingly viable route or port may conceal critical restrictions: clearances, turning radii, gradients, roadworks, street furniture, time windows, port limitations, or interference with third parties.
NAMAJA BCN reviews these conditions to help clients anticipate risks before contracting or executing the operation.
When does this service make sense?
This service is especially useful when the project is in the bidding, engineering, tendering, logistics planning, or budget review phase.
It is also crucial when there are questions about dimensions, permits, country-specific restrictions, plant access, port alternatives, the need for specialized equipment, or the risk of cost overruns.
Access
Review of access to factory, plant, park, port or yard.
Route
Identification of critical points: bridges, roundabouts, narrowings and slopes.
Port
Port alternatives, RoRo, breakbulk and operational restrictions.
Areas of analysis
What the analysis covers
We analyze access, routes, ports, civil works, clearances, restrictions, escorts, maneuvering, and operational conditions to build a defensible recommendation before execution.
We analyze dimensions, weights, origin, destination, execution window, route restrictions, access, alternative ports, permits, potential escorts, transport equipment, cranes, intermediate storage, and critical dependencies.
The goal is not to generate theory, but to build a defensible technical and commercial scenario to inform decisions, tenders, and negotiations with suppliers.
Route
Restrictions, radii, slopes, deviations and critical point analysis.
Port
operational capacity, availability, access, handling and modal fit.
Permits
Administrative needs, windows, escorts and prior actions.
Risk and cost
Scenarios, contingencies, buffers, and mitigation sequence.
