FOS: Feasibility & Operational Study
Depending on your challenges, various details may need verification prior to design or transport of your cargo.
An FOS reduces risk of a project being unable to meet scheduling, permitting, and routing regulations.
An FOS is not always required. It often guides the decision to move a project forward.
