Let yourself be inspired by Art, ARTECARGO will take care of the Supply Chain
A work of art is a unique and precious asset. Its transport requires special techniques and specialized experience. We must protect it, accompany it with passion and care in its preparation, its path, its set-up and repeat everything in the return phase. It must be protected, however, with special custom-built insurance policies. ARTECARGO by Italia Cargo takes care of everything.
ARTECARGO by Italia Cargo handles all phases of the transport chain: we study, organize and coordinate national and international shipments of works of art departing from and arriving to any destination in the world.
The management of transport is based on the preliminary study of the characteristics of the works (nature, size, weight, etc.) and on foreseeing any possible critical issue along the route (origin and destination), combined with the identification of the most suitable transport system and itinerary aiming at the preservation of the integrity of the work of art.
Direct relations with the best air, sea and land carriers ensure the availability of spaces and connections on all International routes, by constantly monitoring the status of the shipment.
ARTECARGO also organizes dedicated Charter/ Laycans according to the different operational needs.
Our international network of selected and qualified correspondents takes care of every operation from collection and delivery to customs formalities. This net is spread in over 60 countries and it is able to guarantee qualified support and specialized real-time assistance in every step of the way, from origin to destination.
In Italy, our Company uses sustainability strategies to reduce its carbon emissions and environmental impact and transport is carried out with the use of natural gas-powered vehicles, all equipped with maximum safety systems and constant monitoring (routing / temperature / humidity / lighting, etc). ARTECARGO choses vehicles in accordance with the size of works, the itinerary and the loading and unloading locations.
The same criteria of reliability, safety and control are also guaranteed in those destinations where "over water transport" is necessary to cover the last mile, as in the lagoon city of Venice.
