BESS Logistics and Transportation Services
Specialized Logistics for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)
Forsla provides BESS logistics and transportation services that ensure the safe, compliant, and efficient movement of battery energy storage systems across global supply chains. We specialize in transporting lithium-ion batteries, modules, and containerized energy storage systems, supporting manufacturers, renewable developers, and EPC contractors worldwide.
The Challenge: Complexities in Moving Energy Storage Systems
Transporting battery energy storage systems (BESS) is one of the most regulated and risk-sensitive tasks in modern logistics. Challenges include:
Managing hazardous materials such as lithium-ion cells and modules that carry fire and explosion risk
Maintaining controlled temperature, vibration, and humidity throughout the journey
Ensuring compliance with ADR, IMDG, and IATA regulations for land, sea, and air transport
Coordinating international shipments across multiple carriers, ships, and customs authorities
At Forsla, we handle such shipments with precision and care — reducing risk, ensuring compliance, and protecting every cargo unit.
