Fossil fuels have powered global economic development for more than a century. Whether lighting our homes or moving machines, natural gas, oil and coal have long been the bedrock of our energy supply. However, as we all strive towards a more sustainable future, the move towards renewable energy has gained momentum – and investment in this green sector is only set to continue.

Whether your industrial projects require safe and timely shipments of nacelles, turbines, towers, blades, generators, transformers or other major wind turbine components, our global team can help. If you need an urgent replacement part for your windfarm, for example, our ocean transportation experts will ensure it arrives on schedule to minimise downtime.

Sustainability has become a strategic component for the power and energy sector. The supply chain is under increasing scrutiny to deliver a greener footprint, and as the industry continues to green up its act, we have the knowledge and environmentally-sound logistics solutions to help meet our customers’ needs. As a forerunner in environmental sustainability in our industry, we are the perfect partner to help you realise your eco-friendly ambitions.

Variety of cargo handling equipment

Our technical specialists are on hand every step of the way to oversee the handling and stowage process and to ensure the right equipment solutions are used for a safe journey. See our range of cargo handling equipment for power & energy products.

Roll trailers

The workhorse of our equipment fleet, roll trailers have been developed for cargo up to 140 tonnes. Roll trailers are simply towed on and off the vessel. Cargo types: all kinds of breakbulk from machine tools to crane counterweights. We also offer specialised railed roll trailers for rail cars and extra low profile roll trailers for particularly tall cargo.

Blocks and Beams

Jack-up trailers with blocks and beams are used to handle RoRo cargo of up to 400 tonnes and are configured to suit the cargo being shipped. The unit is stowed on blocks and beams during terminal storage and onboard the vessel. Cargo types include: transformers, generators, boilers, rotors, tunnel boring machines and hydraulic press machines.

Bolster

Designed for smaller breakbulk cargo which is not suited for direct stowage on a vessel deck. Bolsters are suitable to minimise the handling operation in the port as several small pieces of cargo can be loaded on a bolster and forklifted onboard. Cargo types include: steel plates and coils, small yachts, crates and machinery.

Multi-Purpose Boogies (MPBs)

The Multi-Purpose Boogies (MPBs), consist of boogies which are used in pairs, and can handle cargo weight up to 140 tons. This solution has a wider tipping point than a regular roll trailer, which makes this a safe choice for wide and/or high cargo. The boogies can be fitted with different attachments to create a roll trailer-like cargo carrier, which can be maneuvered from both ends. MPBs are typically used for rail cars, fabricated beams, generators, transformers and industrial tanks.

Equipment details

Cargo max weight

6 -14 m can safely be accommodated

Cargo max length

Samson Light

The Samson light handling equipment consists of one set of MPBs which are connected together with a pushbar. The pushbars are designed to fit each cargo and is therefore available in several different lengths. This handling equipment has the same advantages as a regular MPB but it also offers two separate supporters and a heavy footprint, enabling the weight to be evenly distributed between the two bogies. This equipment is typically used for generators, transformers, rotors and heavy steam drums.
