Heavy lifts and global supply chain management for Norwegian offshore redevelopment project
A major offshore redevelopment project in the Norwegian sector required a logistics partner capable of handling heavy lifts, oversized cargo, and a global supply chain spanning Europe, Scandinavia, and the United States. The work scope centred on the construction of a new production and accommodation platform and involved coordinating thousands of tonnes of specialist materials across multiple fabrication sites, including partial builds that had to be delivered in precise sequence. With tight schedules and high safety expectations, the client needed full assurance that every movement would be controlled, compliant, and executed without incident.

At a glance
- Managed the movement of 8,500 tonnes of heavy and oversized cargo across Europe, Scandinavia, and the US, including a world-record lift, for a major Norwegian offshore redevelopment project.
- Delivered end-to-end supply chain coordination with zero injuries and 65,000 incident-free man-hours, ensuring full safety and compliance.
- Achieved £2.8 million in cost savings through strategic planning, freight consolidation, and seamless multi-site module integration.
Approach
We delivered a hands-on, end-to-end freight management solution, centralising project coordination with specialist forwarders experienced in high-risk, large-scale logistics. Every freight type, from general cargo to abnormal loads and heavy lifts, was managed across multiple sites and stages of fabrication. Flexible, multi-stage planning allowed partially completed modules to be integrated into larger assemblies seamlessly. Safety and compliance were embedded at every step, ensuring operations ran smoothly and without incident. Our approach combined global supply chain integration with real-time operational management, adapting to the complexities of the build process while maintaining efficiency, control, and on-time delivery.
Impact
The operation achieved:
- 8,500 tonnes of cargo delivered on schedule, including a world-record lift.
- Zero injuries and 65,000 incident-free man-hours in the final phase.
- £2.8 million in cost savings through smart planning and freight consolidation.
- Seamless coordination across Europe, Scandinavia, and the US.
