Your Challenges, Our Solutions

Every Artwork Is Irreplaceable

Artwork handling, environmental conditions, exhibition deadlines and delivery accountability can all affect the condition and presentation of valuable collections.

Even Minor Handling Errors Can Cause Irreversible Damage

Paintings, sculptures, antiques and mixed-media works may be vulnerable to vibration, impact, pressure, moisture and incorrect positioning. Standard cargo handling may not account for fragile surfaces, unusual dimensions or work-specific lifting and orientation requirements.

Our Solution

Artwork and Handling Assessment

Review available information on dimensions, weight, materials, fragility, lifting points and orientation before booking to identify suitable handling and transport arrangements.

Specialist Collection and Delivery Coordination

Coordinate collection appointments, suitable handling resources, loading requirements and delivery conditions with galleries, museums, storage facilities and private locations.

Environmental Changes Can Affect Sensitive Artworks

Canvas, paper, wood, textiles, photographs and other sensitive materials may react to sudden changes in temperature or humidity. Long transit times, exposed transfer points or unsuitable waiting conditions can increase the risk of warping, cracking, mould or surface deterioration.

Our Solution

Environment-Conscious Route Planning

Assess available routes according to the artwork’s declared sensitivity, packing method, seasonal conditions, transfer points and expected journey duration.

Transit and Handover Visibility

Use Predictive ETA and shipment milestone updates to monitor expected arrivals and important handovers, helping teams respond earlier when delays may increase environmental exposure.

Exhibition Schedules Leave No Margin for Late Delivery

Art fairs, museum exhibitions, auctions and gallery openings follow fixed installation and viewing schedules. Late arrival can disrupt condition checks, unpacking, installation and curatorial preparation, while an early delivery may create storage and security challenges.

Our Solution

Installation-Date Shipment Planning

Plan collection and delivery according to venue access, condition-check schedules, installation dates and exhibition opening times, helping artworks arrive within the required receiving window.

Multi-Venue Exhibition Coordination

Coordinate phased deliveries across museums, galleries, art fairs and temporary exhibition venues according to destination-specific receiving and installation requirements.

Limited Handover Visibility Increases Collection Risks

Fine art shipments may pass through collectors, specialist warehouses, airports, galleries and exhibition venues. Without clear handover and delivery records, it can be difficult to identify where an issue occurred or confirm accountability throughout the artwork journey.

Our Solution

Chain-of-Custody Records

Connect collection details, handover records, shipment milestones and delivery confirmations throughout the artwork journey.

Exception Alerts & Delivery Verification

Receive alerts when shipment delays, route changes or other exceptions require attention, and maintain delivery-verification records across warehouses, galleries, museums and exhibition venues.

Fine Art Transportation

Coordinate domestic and international transportation for paintings, sculptures, antiques, photography, installations and private collections.

Specialist Artwork Collection and Delivery

Arrange collection and delivery according to artwork dimensions, handling requirements, location access and receiving conditions.

Multimodal Art Shipping

Compare available air, sea and road options according to shipment value, artwork sensitivity, delivery deadline, route and budget.

Exhibition Shipping

Plan artwork movements for exhibitions, art fairs, auctions, gallery programmes and travelling collections.

Venue-Specific Delivery Scheduling

Coordinate delivery appointments, loading access, condition checks and installation schedules according to each venue’s requirements.

Return and Onward Exhibition Shipping

Arrange post-exhibition return transport or onward delivery to the next venue, collector, gallery or storage facility.

Fine Art Cargo Insurance

Protect eligible artworks and exhibition shipments against covered cargo loss or damage through an integrated digital insurance process.

Door-to-Door Cargo All-Risk Insurance

Access cargo all-risk insurance from collection to delivery, subject to policy terms, artwork type, declared value, packing arrangements, route and insurer assessment.

Digital Policy and Claims Support

Simplify insurance quotations, applications, policy documentation and claims support through a process connected with the artwork-shipping workflow.

Museum Logistics Protection

Coordinate shipment protection requirements for museum collections, institutional loans and high-value exhibition movements.

Collection-Specific Risk Review

Review available artwork information, declared values, packing arrangements, transport routes and venue requirements to support suitable logistics and insurance preparation.

Documented Chain of Custody

Maintain available collection, handover, milestone and delivery records across authorised parties to support clearer accountability throughout the shipment.
