Just Say Where and Leave the How to Us

When freight goes beyond standard limits, experience makes the difference. Matson Logistics specializes in oversized, overweight, and project cargo—moving complex freight safely and efficiently from origin to final destination, on land and sea.

Built for the Big, Heavy, and Complicated

Oversized freight requires more than capacity—it requires planning, precision, and deep regulatory knowledge. Our teams understand permitting, routing, escorts, bridge and tunnel constraints, ports, and on‑site coordination. We design the right solution for every move, using the specialized equipment and modes your freight demands.

From flatbeds and RGNs to barges and con‑ro vessels, we bring the assets—and the expertise—to move freight that doesn’t fit the standard mold.

Every move is supported by a dedicated team of operations, logistics, and regulatory experts who manage route planning, permitting, escorts, and delivery timing. We coordinate closely with ports, carriers, and jobsite crews to keep your project moving safely and on schedule.
