From hosting North America’s first wind turbine marshalling yard to preparing for the tow-out of a colossal concrete gravity structure (CGS), the port of Argentia is rapidly transforming into a nexus for renewable energy projects and heavy lift operations. As demand for green hydrogen and sustainable fuels grows, Argentia’s developments signal a bright future for project cargo in Newfoundland and beyond.
Schwerlast Weise has taken delivery of a new Liebherr LTM 1300-6.3 mobile crane.
Miners in Australia are increasingly installing renewable energy sources to cut their net carbon emissions, creating work for heavy lift and multipurpose carriers.
In the words of a recent report published by the World Refining Association: “The downstream energy industry finds itself at the nexus of transformation, propelled by a mosaic of innovations, challenges and aspirations.” For heavy lift and project freight forwarding companies, one resulting challenge is to assess which sectors are likely to offer the best future business opportunities − and when.
DNV research shows that six in ten marine industry professionals believe that the industry needs to accept greater cyber risk from digitalisation if it facilitates innovation and new technologies. Multipurpose and heavy lift shipping lines are implementing robust security to deal with what is a growing threat.
