The project involved transporting 42 TTUs and associated project cargo from Invergordon to the Sullom Voe Oil Terminal, before onward road transport to the remote project site near Ollaberry.

Recognising the logistical complexity of delivering large modular infrastructure to one of the UK’s most remote locations, Malin Abram engaged with RSE eight months before the planned operation. Early involvement enabled the development of an optimised marine transport strategy during the project’s conceptual and FEED stages, ensuring vessel selection, cargo configuration and operational planning aligned with technical, environmental and programme requirements.

Malin Abram delivered a full suite of marine engineering and project management services, including stowage and securing plans, seafastening design, marine procedures, risk assessments, vessel chartering and marine superintendence. The load-out in Invergordon was completed during a continuous 48-hour campaign, followed by a 48-hour sea transit and a 36-hour discharge operation.

Through early engagement and detailed planning, the campaign was executed safely, on schedule and within budget, while minimising operational risk, vessel idle time and the overall carbon footprint of the marine transport phase.

This project involved the execution of an extremely complex, high-risk multimodal transportation of six oversized coke drums from ISGEC Jetty to Vadinar Jetty, followed by inland delivery to Nayara Refinery. Each unit measured 43m x 11m x 11m and weighed 665 MT, with a cumulative cargo weight approaching 4,000 MT and a total handled volume of 31,218 FRT. The movement covered ~600 nautical miles by sea and ~200 km by road under tightly controlled timelines.

The operation was driven by extensive pre-engineering, including bathymetric surveys, hydrodynamic analysis, CAD-based load simulations, SALSA, lashing design, and multi-stage stability calculations to validate barge behavior under variable tidal and load conditions. Over 200 axle lines in a 20+20 configuration, supported by 80+ SPMTs and 500 HP pullers, were deployed for land mobilization, requiring major infrastructure interventions across HT line corridors and weak road sections.

Custom-engineered temporary jetties and Ro-Ro interfaces enabled loadout onto 300-class barges within narrow tidal windows. Mid-voyage, severe cyclonic conditions induced critical barge instability with heel up to 45 degrees, demanding emergency response through 60 BP tug deployment and controlled counter-ballasting.

Subsequent discharge and inland transit required bridge strengthening, route engineering, and live traffic management.

UTC Overseas executed a complex eight-month operation to transport massive LPG tanks along Poland’s Vistula River under extreme conditions. The tanks, each 80 meters long and weighing 465 tons, were loaded onto barges in Gdynia and prepared with custom supports for transport to Płock. However, delays pushed the schedule into a period of historically low water levels, creating severe navigational challenges, including reduced depth and hazardous sandbars that slowed progress and threatened the feasibility of the journey.

To overcome these constraints, UTC engineers implemented innovative solutions. They designed and installed buoyancy tanks along the barges to reduce draft, enabling navigation in shallow waters. Additional measures included deflection shields for underwater hazards and specialized supports to evenly distribute weight and maintain stability. When bridge clearances became an issue, the team ingeniously rotated the tanks onto their sides during transit, avoiding structural modifications.

Lock passages required rapid removal of buoyancy tanks, a process carefully planned for efficiency under tight spatial and time constraints. Upon arrival in Płock, the tanks were offloaded, transported by road, and installed at the refinery site.

Despite unprecedented environmental and logistical challenges, UTC demonstrated exceptional engineering adaptability, ensuring a safe and successful delivery.

Balena Projects successfully delivered a complex press machine shipment from the Port of Detroit, MI, proving that exceptional heavy transport is not simply moved — it is engineered.

The project involved 65 units totaling approximately 2,000 CBM, including multiple oversized components above 100 tons, with the heaviest reaching 185 tons. Due to extreme weight, dimensions, and site constraints, every unit required a tailored transport solution.

A critical milestone was the direct tandem lift from vessel to transport equipment, where two cranes operated in perfect synchronization under detailed lift studies and rigging calculations. This eliminated intermediate handling and reduced risk while demanding absolute precision.

Further complexity required full route engineering, removal of 150 feet of perimeter fencing, and structural widening of facility gates to create a viable delivery corridor. All units were transported on custom multi-axle hydraulic trailers, with tightly controlled delivery windows and synchronized site readiness enabling immediate offloading.

By maximizing payloads, using a modern low-emission heavy-haul fleet, and executing a direct port-to-site model, the project reduced truck movements by 15–20% and achieved an estimated 25–35 metric tons of CO₂ savings versus conventional methods.

This project demonstrates engineering excellence, operational control, and measurable environmental responsibility.

Comark delivered a highly coordinated logistics solution for 160 Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) units from China destined for Hungary, supporting one of Europe’s largest PV+BESS projects.

EmissionInsider, developed by PortXchange, addresses one of the most significant challenges in supply chain sustainability: enabling shippers to accurately measure and manage Scope 3 emissions.

For breakbulk shippers, Scope 3 emissions typically represent the majority of their carbon footprint, yet port-related emissions have historically been difficult to quantify due to fragmented and inconsistent data. EmissionInsider resolves this by enabling ports to provide accurate, standardised, and real-time emissions data across vessels, trucks, rail, and terminal operations.

This allows shippers to move beyond estimates and incorporate verified, activity-based data into their Scope 3 calculations, improving both the accuracy and credibility of their reporting. With greater visibility, shippers can identify emissions hotspots within their logistics chains and make informed decisions on routing, port selection, and operations to reduce their environmental impact.

At the same time, the platform creates a shared, consistent dataset across the port ecosystem, enabling better collaboration between ports, shippers, and logistics partners. This supports more coordinated and measurable emissions reductions across the value chain.
By turning fragmented emissions data into a reliable foundation for action, EmissionInsider enables more transparent reporting, stronger compliance, and meaningful progress towards supply chain decarbonisation.

ZERO44 is a connected carbon compliance engine that helps maritime shipping companies turn emissions regulation into commercial advantage. By unifying vessel data, verifier outputs, charter terms, and Union Registry activity into a single daily-updated carbon ledger, ZERO44 replaces fragmented spreadsheet workflows with a governed system of record that technical, finance, and commercial teams can trust.

Its multi-regulation scenario engine models FuelEU Maritime, EU ETS, and CII simultaneously, enabling operators to plan fuel mix, pooling, and biofuel blending strategies before costs lock in. The results are quantifiable: customers have achieved 58% cost savings per vessel through optimized biofuel decisions, in 2025 one third of all vessels on the ZERO44 platform used biofuels.

Contract-aware automation translates charter clauses and off-hire events into clear receivables and payables, reducing disputes and shortening settlement cycles. Stable API integrations mean customers go live in weeks without replacing existing systems.

Beyond the financials, ZERO44 embeds carbon literacy across organizations, freeing experienced teams from manual administrative tasks to focus on higher-value planning and decision making. With a modular, regulation-ready architecture and proven results across dry bulk and tanker segments, ZERO44 sets a scalable benchmark for the industry’s decarbonization journey.
