Door-to-door Multimodal Transport Service

Founded in 1992 and acquired by Fracht Group in 2022, Dextra Transport began its journey to become a specialized freight and cargo forwarder with small transportation projects before switching to activities aligned with Thailand’s economic growth. As the nation progressed to secure energy assets and build critical infrastructures for heavy industries and later became a key player in the fabrication of modular cargo and topsides, Dextra transitioned to a stronger focus on supporting the transportation of topsides and modular cargo in response to this increasing demand. The shift was strengthened in 2006 when Dextra launched their in-house engineering department to offer a one-stop service for clients needing ultra-heavy equipment from land transport engineering, sea fastening, sea transport and heavy lifting services. Dextra’s portfolio gained popularity and built the company’s reputation as a reliable partner capable of taking on the most challenging transportation in the oil and gas, petrochemical and Energy industries. In parallel, an extensive client portfolio, including clients with dangerous cargo and military equipment, helped broaden its range of services. Today, Dextra’s one-stop service with door-to-door delivery eliminates the risks and hassle of managing multiple modes of transportation from origin to destination. Further, Dextra Transport owns self-propelled modular transporters (SPMT), allowing seamless operations from fabrication yards to loaded out on vessels, and verse versa for load-in. “Be it on land or offshore, our one-stop service enables us to provide engineered solutions to reliably transport cargo from Module Fabrication Yards to the final destinations,” says Frederic Pagniez, Managing Director of Dextra Transport. Every client engagement starts with a pre-engineering phase, during which Dextra offers feasibility studies that provide options to clients on how to transport their cargo to the final destination. Once clients send an official RFQ, Dextra offers the best-suited solutions in terms of safety, time and cost efficiency. The offered services include all related engineering studies such as weighing, land transport, sea transport studies, load-in and the last miles up to the foundation at the job site.
