Heavy Lift & Project Forwarding International (HLPFI) and Project Cargo Journal (PCJ) officially merged their operations on May 27, 2026. This integration sees PCJ's digital activities and readership fully transition to the HLPFI platform, creating a consolidated media presence within the heavy-lift and project forwarding industry.
The merger aims to leverage the strengths of both publications: HLPFI's established print publication and PCJ's strong digital engagement. The combined entity will now operate with a six-person editorial team, enhancing its capacity to cover industry news and trends.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals involved in heavy-lift and project cargo, this merger signifies a consolidation of information sources. It means a single, more comprehensive platform for industry news, market analysis, and project updates, potentially streamlining how they access critical information for planning and executing complex shipments. The combined editorial resources may lead to broader and deeper coverage of specialized logistics challenges, such as oversized cargo movements, EPC contracts, and offshore wind projects.
The immediate next step involves the complete integration of PCJ's content and audience into the HLPFI platform, with the unified editorial team continuing to produce content under the HLPFI brand.
