The combined experience of the STG team is unrivalled when it comes to solving complex transport challenges. As an established USA freight forwarder with decades of expertise in managing technically demanding logistics operations. STG supports organisations requiring reliable transport solutions between the United Kingdom and North America, including the movement of specialist equipment, project cargo, and oversized consignments.
USA Freight Forwarding
The United States represents the greatest demand for specialist transport solutions across North America. Acting as a trusted USA freight forwarder, STG supports businesses requiring dependable UK to USA freight services, particularly where complex logistics planning or specialist cargo handling is required.
Our team manages each stage of the transport process, including:
- Dismantling and preparation of cargo prior to shipment
- Specialist packing and protection of sensitive equipment
- Coordination of international air or sea freight transport
- Organisation of final delivery within the United States
Launch Gantry Transport to NASA
One notable project involved the transfer of a launch gantry from Hucknall, near Nottingham, to NASA’s engine test facility at Stennis, Mississippi. A launch gantry is a tower structure designed to support the testing of Rolls-Royce Trent aircraft engines, simulating the conditions experienced when an engine is mounted beneath an aircraft wing. STG was responsible for coordinating the entire logistics operation, and retained responsibility for coordinating all contributing partners, ensuring that the programme remained within the agreed timeframe and minimising disruption to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner engine testing schedule.
Transport of Historic Tram Cars to California
STG has also coordinated specialist shipments to the United States involving unique and unusual cargo. In one such project, the team arranged the transport of historic tram cars from Portugal to California, where they were subsequently converted into themed restaurants.
Despite limited freight options suitable for this type of cargo, STG identified a viable transport solution and successfully delivered the shipment to its destination in the United States. Projects such as this demonstrate STG’s capability in managing technically challenging UK to USA freight movements.
