Some cargo doesn’t fit neatly into a container. KYFI specializes in break bulk shipping, ISO tank transport, project cargo logistics, out‑of‑gauge shipments and overweight cargo handling. Our experienced team develops customized solutions using specialized equipment and carriers to safely move heavy, oversized or otherwise unique cargo.
