Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) was founded in 1998 to connect independent project cargo forwarding companies, and to provide a reference source for shippers, carriers and forwarding partners to locate quality project cargo specialists. WWPC spans the globe with membership for one company per country or designated area. This creates an essential framework for conducting trade in the project cargo market, avoiding confusion with subcontractors and allowing the confidential and professional preparation and handling of project related tasks.

Priority Cargo Network works to identify demands from general freight forwarders for cost effective and dynamic network presentation with a strong brand. With specialized independent freight forwarder members per country, the network enables participating companies to operate more effectively in the global arena.

Cargo Equipment Experts (CEE) is a global platform and tool for project owners and forwarders. The organization provides networking and marketing for owners and operators of specialized and valuable equipment, carriers and manufacturers and asset-based forwarders, working within the heavy and outsized cargo market.
