DHX predicts increase in oversized cargo shipped here

Advertiser Staff

Shipments of oversized cargo to Hawai'i should increase by 2 percent or 3 percent this year, according to DHX-Dependable Hawaiian Express, one of the largest freight forwarders serving the state.

The growth of shipments of oversized freight, cargo that can't fit into conventional shipping containers, is slowing from recent years because residential and commercial construction is cooling, DHX-Dependable Hawaiian said in a news release. This "project cargo" can include trucks, earth-moving equipment, large electrical generators, and other machinery and parts.
