PROJECT LOGISTICS MANAGEMENT

BOSFOR thrives in markets that offer challenges such as political instability, volatile security, poor transport infrastructure and lack of a skilled workforce.

Within these environments we understand what it takes to successfully manage logistics projects, bringing them to completion on time and on budget, even in the harshest of environmental conditions.

BOSFOR has years experiences of working in these unpredictable and often dangerous environments, enabling us to successfully manage your project, whether for rapid deployment, sustainment or redeployment of your project.

BOSFOR can mobilize all the equipment and resources required, from anywhere to everywhere, for any project.

Examples of equipment often moved during project deployment includes:

Camp accommodation and office units
Life support equipment (generators, water tanks, etc.)
Heavy equipment
Handling equipment
Drill rigs
Construction equipment and materials

BOSFOR’S expertise covers, but is not limited to Heavy Lift Engineering, Project Management, Shipping & Chartering, Air Charter, Freight Forwarding, HSSE Management, Quality Management, Compliance, and Information Technology.

Once your project is up and running, BOSFOR can ensure its continued smooth operation through our Project Sustainment service. We can ensure that there is a steady flow of equipment or resources being shipped to the locations they are most needed, in a timely and cost effective manner.

Project Sustainment

BOSFOR can integrate our teams and the latest technology to ensure you have full visibility on your project, but more importantly, can give your project a level of predictability that is not the norm in these harsh environments. Our team members can offer you peace of mind on your materials control and freight management, whether it be consumables, spare parts, chemicals, construction materials etc.
