About Onsite Global Logistics

Houston, Texas · FMC OTI No. 023947F

Onsite Global Logistics is a project logistics, procurement and international freight forwarding company based in Houston, Texas. We move the equipment and materials that capital projects and industrial operations run on — a 200-tonne reactor leaving Port Houston on a heavy-lift vessel, a rig package crossing three borders on a schedule that was set eighteen months ago, or one replacement seal that has to be on a supply boat before the next crew change.

Same company, same phone number, both jobs. That combination is the whole point of how we’re built.

What we move

Project cargo and heavy lift

This is the core of the business. Reactors, vessels, transformers, modules, cranes, compressors, skids — cargo that doesn’t fit in a container and doesn’t fit inside standard permit envelopes. Out-of-gauge and breakbulk moves need route surveys, bridge analysis, permit lead times, lift plans, engineered stowage and a marine warranty surveyor who signs off before anything leaves the ground. We plan that work backwards from the site, not forwards from the port, because the last two miles are usually what dictates everything upstream.

We work Port Houston and the Gulf terminals daily, and we coordinate the same scope of work at origins and destinations worldwide through our alliance agent network.

EPC and major project logistics

We support EPC contractors, industrial owners and equipment manufacturers from bid stage through final site delivery. That means logistics budgets and feasibility input while the bid is still being priced, then supplier readiness, origin consolidation, export packing, international movement, customs interfaces, destination handling, laydown coordination and delivery in the sequence construction needs it.

One project desk holds all of it. You get named people, not a ticket queue and a rotating cast of coordinators.

Procurement and project supply chain

We source, purchase and resell approved equipment and materials under an agreed commercial scope, and we chase the suppliers who are already on your PO list. Order status, document collection, inspection coordination, expediting, packing readiness, release milestones. We don’t do design engineering and we don’t act as owner’s engineer — your team keeps technical approval. What we take off your desk is the follow-up: the calls, the missing MTRs, the vendor who has gone quiet three weeks before a critical delivery date.

Rig solutions

Complete land rig moves from tender basis through mobilization, demobilization and closeout. Offshore parts, critical spares and repair returns, including supply base handoff and field receipt. Mobilization compliance — customs identity, trade controls, dangerous goods, cleanliness certification — handled as part of the scope rather than discovered at the border.

Ocean, air, road and multimodal transportation

Full container and LCL ocean freight, air freight and charter, full and partial truckload, and multimodal routings that combine them. Vessel chartering and NVOCC services are provided through our sister company, OnBoard Global Logistics LLC.

General freight, worldwide

Not everything is a heavy lift. We handle standard international and domestic freight for the same clients — the routine shipments that sit alongside the project cargo, plus general freight for companies who found us through a project and stayed for everything else. Ocean, air, LTL, FTL, worldwide, on the same accounts and with the same people.

Expedited and hotshot

When a turnaround is burning money by the hour, ordinary freight timelines stop being useful. Hotshot trucks, next-flight-out, hand-carry on a commercial seat, dedicated straight-through runs, aircraft charter. We cover the 48 contiguous states plus Alaska and Canada, and we’ve put parts on offshore helipads by way of a hotshot to the heliport.

Trade shows and exhibits

Booth storage, exhibit shipping, drayage, marshalling yards, target move-in windows and international show support. Convention center receiving has its own rules and its own clock, and missing either one is very public.

Resins

We run a dedicated resin program: approved supplier outreach, commercial coordination, order follow-up, export documentation and packaging, consolidation, ocean movement, and import support through to final delivery. Polymer buyers and traders get sourcing and execution on one path instead of stitching a broker to a forwarder to a trucker.

How we work

One person owns your file

When you call OGL you reach someone who knows your shipment and has the authority to change it. Not a ticket number, not a queue, not a coordinator who has to escalate to a manager who has to email a department. You get a name, a direct line and a person who calls you before you have to ask.

We’re senior-led on purpose. The people making decisions on your cargo have decades in project logistics, procurement and maritime transport between them, and they’re on the day-to-day execution — not sitting above it approving things.

Houston hub, vetted agents worldwide

Our operating base is Houston. Everywhere else, we work through commissioned alliance agents we’ve vetted and who take instruction directly from us — local pickup, documentation, customs interfaces, destination handling. We don’t claim to own facilities in fifty countries, because we don’t. What we do own is the coordination, the follow-up and the escalation path, and that stays with OGL from origin to site.

Decisions get made, not scheduled

If your cargo needs special handling we don’t wait on headquarters, because we are headquarters. If a carrier is failing mid-transit we change carriers. If the answer is buying a seat on a commercial flight for a critical part, we buy the seat. Action instead of escalation.

Available when the problem happens

Failures don’t schedule themselves between nine and five on weekdays. When you call at 11pm on a Saturday because a unit is down and a part has to move tonight, you reach someone who can move it.

Whatever it takes, in practice

Three examples of what that means on the ground:

A refinery in Louisiana needed a replacement valve mid-turnaround. The supplier was in California. We put it on a hot expedited truck that drove straight through the night, the valve landed fourteen hours later, and the turnaround stayed on schedule.

A mining operation in Nevada lost a pump. The replacement was sitting in Houston. We hand-carried it on a commercial flight, rented a car at the airport and drove it to the site ourselves. They were back online the next day.

A trade show exhibitor’s booth materials got stuck at a carrier’s terminal. We recovered them, put them on one of our own trucks, and had the needed pieces unloaded at the convention center at 6am on show day. The booth opened on time.

None of those are exceptional weeks for us. That’s the job.
