Wide over 2352MM shipment 20' and 40' FR & Open Top Sea Freight from Qingdao Tianjin Wuhan China to Bosnia and Herzegovina | Professional Special Container Freight Forwarder

When your out-of-gauge cargo exceeds standard dimensions — whether over-width, over-height, or simply too bulky for a dry van — Goodhope Freight delivers tailored special container solutions from China to Bosnia and Herzegovina. Operating from Qingdao, Tianjin, and Wuhan, we handle 20ft and 40ft Flat Rack (FR) and Open Top (OT) containers for shipments with width over 2352MM and other OOG profiles. Your cargo arrives via the Adriatic gateway — typically through Plocice port in Croatia — with seamless customs clearance and inland trucking to Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Mostar, or any destination across Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We understand that oversized industrial equipment, steel structures, and heavy machinery require more than standard booking. That is why we combine competitive ocean freight rates with hands-on operational support, ensuring your FR and OT containers move smoothly from Chinese loading ports to Bosnian project sites. With dedicated coordination for over-dimensional (OOG) and breakbulk freight, Goodhope Freight brings years of expertise to every shipment.

Special Container Equipment for OOG Cargo

Open Top Container (OT)

Ideal for over-height cargo and top-loading requirements. Removable tarpaulin roof and collapsible header beams allow easy loading of tall machinery, pipes, and steel coils. Available in 20ft and 40ft sizes from Qingdao, Tianjin, and Wuhan.

Flat Rack Container (FR)

Built for over-width and over-weight shipments. With collapsible end walls and heavy-duty flooring, FR containers handle industrial generators, transformers, and construction equipment. 20ft and 40ft FR available with payload capacities up to 45 tons.

Out-of-Gauge & Specialized Solutions

OOG Container (Out-of-Gauge)

For cargo that exceeds standard container dimensions in any axis — width over 2352MM, height above 2591MM, or length beyond 12192MM. We coordinate vessel stowage, lashing, and special permits for safe ocean transit to Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Breakbulk & Project Cargo

When containerization is not feasible, we offer breakbulk shipping with chartered or multipurpose vessels, calling at Plocice and other Adriatic ports for onward delivery into Bosnia.

Acceptable Over-Dimensional & Breakbulk Cargo

Our OT and FR containers accommodate a wide spectrum of heavy-lift and out-of-gauge commodities for the Bosnian market:

Over-height cargo (OT) Over-width cargo (FR/OOG) Over-weight cargo (FR) Out-of-gauge (OOG) machinery Wind turbine components Power transformers Industrial generators Steel structures & beams Large pipes & tubes Mining equipment Construction plant Boilers & pressure vessels Heavy vehicle parts Breakbulk project cargo Prefabricated buildings

Each OOG shipment is individually assessed for route planning, vessel selection, and port handling at both Chinese load ports and the Adriatic discharge port.

Why the Adriatic gateway?

Bosnia and Herzegovina relies on the Croatian port of Plocice as its primary maritime gateway — just 20 km from the Bosnian border. This strategic location allows rapid customs processing and cost-effective trucking to all major Bosnian cities. We also leverage Rijeka and Koper as alternative discharge ports when schedule or cargo profile requires.

Our local partners in Bosnia provide bilingual support and on-the-ground coordination for customs clearance, road permits, and oversized transport, ensuring your OOG cargo reaches its final destination without delay.

FAQ – Special Container Shipping to Bosnia and Herzegovina

What is the standard transit time for OT/FR containers from China to Bosnia?
Typical ocean transit from Qingdao or Tianjin to the Adriatic (Plocice or Rijeka) ranges from 30 to 38 days, depending on carrier routing and transshipment. Adding inland trucking to Bosnian cities adds 1–2 days. We provide vessel-specific schedules at the time of booking.
Which Chinese ports do you use for OOG shipments to Bosnia?
We primarily operate from Qingdao, Tianjin, and Wuhan. Qingdao offers extensive carrier coverage for FR and OT equipment; Tianjin is ideal for heavy industrial cargo from northern China; Wuhan serves central China via river-to-sea connections. We can also arrange from Shanghai or Ningbo upon request.
How do you handle customs clearance in Bosnia for out-of-gauge cargo?
Bosnia follows EU-aligned customs procedures but is not an EU member. We work with licensed customs brokers in Sarajevo and at the Adriatic ports to clear your OOG shipments. Required documents include commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and any specific import permits for heavy machinery or controlled goods.
Can you deliver directly to my project site in Bosnia?
Absolutely. We arrange dedicated trucking with low-bed or extendable trailers to transport your OT/FR containers — or the cargo itself — from the discharge port to any location across Bosnia, including Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Mostar, Tuzla, and Zenica. For over-width (2352MM+) shipments, we secure all necessary road permits and provide escort vehicles.
What is the maximum weight and dimension for FR and OT containers?
40ft Flat Rack containers typically accept up to 45 tons payload, with internal length of 11.89m and width of 2.18m. Open Top containers have similar weight limits with removable roof for over-height cargo up to 2.35m+ clear height. For cargo exceeding these parameters, we discuss breakbulk or charter solutions. Every OOG shipment is pre-approved by the carrier and terminal.
Do you provide insurance for special container shipments?
Yes, we offer marine cargo insurance for all OOG and breakbulk shipments. Our insurance partners provide coverage for physical damage, loss, and theft during ocean transit and inland transport. We can include insurance in your quote or arrange it separately based on your cargo value and risk requirements.
How do I get a quote for my 2352MM+ over-width shipment to Bosnia?
Simply contact our team with your cargo dimensions (length, width, height), weight, commodity type, preferred Chinese load port, and Bosnian destination. We will respond within 24 hours with a detailed proposal including freight rates, equipment availability, and estimated transit schedule. Use the "Get A Quote" link at the top of this page to start.
