Case: Breakbulk Shipment 140-ton Motors

Our project logistics specialists, Jo and Witze, coordinated the shipment of three 140-ton engines from storage to final placement on board. Securing a vessel capable of carrying cargo of this size required detailed planning and direct negotiations with the right carrier to match both load capacity and schedule. At the terminal, the engines were moved using self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs), which provide precise control for oversized cargo. An engineer determined the exact placement within the vessel to ensure balance and safety. Once aligned, a Gottwald crane lifted each engine on board, with every movement calculated and monitored.

Heavy-lift projects demand exact planning and coordination, and this one was no exception. Our team delivered it efficiently and on time. Explore their journey below.
