In April it was announced that the Viking Link Project, a high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission link between the UK and Denmark, had been officially launched.

Following a total investment of £1.8 billion, Viking Link is the first connection between the UK and Danish transmission systems.

According to National Grid, at over 760km, it is currently the world’s longest land and subsea interconnector. It runs from the Bicker Fen substation in Lincolnshire to the Revsing substation in Jutland and has a total capacity of 1.4GW.

At Bertling Logistics they are particularly proud to have contributed to the success of the project by delivering 7 x 225 tonne transformers from Rotterdam via the Port of Esbjerg to the project site in Vejen, Denmark. The accessories came from all over Europe and were also transported directly to the project site.

The transformers measured 7.50 x 4.64 x 5.00m and had to be assembled on site in front of the transformer bay before being jacked and skidded onto the foundation.

The Viking Link is expected to power 2.5 million homes in the UK while avoiding 600,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year – a prestigious project truly made for the future.

Using a total of 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines, heavy-load logistics provider Fagioli Inc., based in Manvel, Texas (USA), transported an offshore wind turbine installation vessel weighing more than 23,000 tonnes from the port facilities onto three barges from where it was subsequently launched into the water.

In the process, Fagioli set three world records: for the largest number of axle lines under one load, the heaviest weight moved by SPMT axle lines and the heaviest load on wheels transferred onto barges.

Since the introduction of TII SCHEUERLE’s SPMT technology more than 40 years ago, customers of TII SCHEUERLE, the industry expert for heavy load transport solutions for both on and off-road assignments and a TII Group subsidiary, have repeatedly set new world records with the self-propelled modular transporters. Now, the US heavy-load logistics provider Fagioli has raised the bar once again and has improved on the previous record by almost 3,000 tonnes. Positioned on 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines and using the thrust of 28 PPUs (Power Pack Units), the heavy-load expert transported the 23,163 tonne special ship “Charybdis”, a so-called Wind Turbine Installation Vessel (WTIV), from the shipyard onto the water. This is the heaviest weight ever transported on land on wheels. At the same time, the largest number of axle lines were used for transporting one single load.

On reaching the river bank, the vessel was transferred to three parallel positioned barges also by means of the 880 SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines. With a total weight of 26,900 tonnes, this also marked a new world record: the heaviest barge load transported on wheels for boarding a ship. The WTIV was subsequently launched into the water.

Filippo Baldassari, Managing Director of TII Group, expressed his delight accordingly: “We at TII SCHEUERLE are immensely proud of the fact that our products have made such a milestone possible in the heavy-load industry. The new record not only proves the superb performance of our SPMTs but it also impressively demonstrates the tireless innovative strength and determination of our customers. Their successes are also our successes! We look forward to continuing to achieve new heights of performance together and shaping the future of heavy-load logistics.”

With this special transport, Fagioli and TII SCHEUERLE are also driving the energy transition. The WTIV plays a significant role in the construction of offshore wind turbines in the USA. The “Charybdis” is the first vessel of its kind to comply with the Jones Act requirements. This regulation stipulates that all transportation between American ports may only be provided by vessels that were built in the States and owned by US citizens who hold an appropriate transportation licence. This also applies to the transport of people and goods to offshore wind turbine facilities.

Fagioli has been successfully using SCHEUERLE SPMTs since the 1980s
WITVs transport components such as turbines and rotor blades to construction sites at sea. Among other things, they are equipped with large cranes for assembling the components. US energy company, Dominion Energy, had the “Charybdis” built in the Seatrium AmFELS shipyard in Texas.

The heavy-load logistics experts at Fagioli, headquartered in Italy, have been relying on SPMT axle lines from TII SCHEUERLE since the 1980s. The three new world records show once again just how powerful the SPMT modules from TII SCHEUERLE are and why TII SCHEUERLE is recognised as the world’s leading provider of heavy-duty transport solutions.

The idea of a 2,430 millimetre wide modular platform transporter which corresponded to container dimensions came about in 1983. This size ensures that the transport solution can be shipped to the most remote locations worldwide in the shortest possible time while simultaneously being as economical as possible while using a standard container (flat rack). The wide range of options for mechanically or electronically coupling SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines in a loose coupling mode therefore make theoretically unlimited payloads possible. One or more Power Pack Units (PPU), which can be coupled to the SCHEUERLE SPMT modules as required, generate the energy for the hydrostatic drive, steering system and lifting operations. The technical basis of the SCHEUERLE SPMT is provided by the hydraulically supported pendulum axle as well as the electronic multi-directional steering. SCHEUERLE SPMT modules are available with 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 axle lines whereby modern types of tyres allow axle loads of up to 60 tonnes.

SPMTs from TII SCHEUERLE represent the largest number of SPMT axle lines available on the market worldwide. For this reason, the company has been repeatedly recognised as a world market leader by the renowned business magazine, WirtschaftsWoche. As a result, customers around the world can conveniently rent SCHEUERLE SPMT axle lines or use cooperation partners with compatible modules to carry out super-heavy heavy transport assignments.

TII KAMAG has introduced its efficient swap body transporter, the KAMAG PrecisionMover (KAMAG PM), in a hot-dip galvanised version.

Galvanising the lifting table, frame and cab mounting system enhances corrosion resistance and service life of the vehicle.

TII KAMAG, a leading manufacturer of special vehicles and specialist for transport solutions in handling operations, offers a wide range of solutions for diverse transportation tasks. This also includes the KAMAG PM swap body transporter which is known for its efficiency and manoeuvrability in cargo handling operations. This vehicle has been specially designed for logistics service providers, couriers, express and parcel service operators as well as sub-contractors who rely on fast and efficient processes at their logistics yards. The KAMAG PM has proven itself to be reliable and safe in tough, continuous use and also when subjected to extreme conditions.

A significant upgrade to the KAMAG PM is therefore the introduction of hot-dip galvanized components including the lifting table, vehicle frame and cabin suspension system. The benefits of galvanisation include improved durability and corrosion resistance which are critical to vehicle robustness. Galvanisation provides very effective and reliable resistance to rust and facilitates self-healing in the event of minor damage.

As a result, the KAMAG PM can also be used during extreme weather conditions as well as under increased mechanical stress.

By integrating galvanised components, TII KAMAG not only extends the service life of the KAMAG PM but also contributes to economic efficiency and environmental compatibility. Galvanised parts require less maintenance and are recyclable thus making them a sustainable choice. “The hot-dip galvanised KAMAG PM is also an example of our commitment to implementing environmentally-friendly solutions. Galvanising is considered a resource-saving corrosion protection process that helps reduce the ecological footprint. We are committed to sustainability in the transport industry whereby the special requirements and challenges of our customers are always at the forefront,” emphasised Jürgen Haupt, Head of Sales Logistics at TII KAMAG.

Since its market launch in 1995, the KAMAG PM, formerly known as the “Wiesel”, has established itself as a best seller in the internal transport industry. With over 2,500 KAMAG PM swap body transporters in more than 20 European countries, TII KAMAG is the market leader in this segment. Customers particularly appreciate the vehicle’s high level of economic efficiency and practicality when handling swap bodies, trailers and semi-trailers.

Project Logistics Alliance is happy to announce that Falcon International, representing Canada in the alliance, has successfully completed a project from meticulous planning to a flawless execution.

The journey started from Houston, Texas to Hays, Kansas. The cargo measured 927 x 302 x 429 cm and weighed 85,433 Kg. The scope was the relocation of a new engine and removal of the old engine from inside the plant. Additionally, the process required mobilization of necessary equipment with end-to-end coordination.

The engine was transported as part of a power generation plant project based in Hays, Kansas set to provide electricity to residential areas and the industrial sector.

To achieve this movement the following steps were necessary: engine relocation via Jack & Slide techniques, timely arrival of a 13-axle truck, mobilization of a 260-ton crane, route survey for smooth transport, and permit acquisition for time-critical moves.

The primary challenges encountered during the shipment process were ensuring the timely availability of a truck at the Houston Terminal, obtaining permits for this time-sensitive operation, and coordinating the delivery of specialized lifting equipment for the trans-loading of the engine. Despite these challenges, the Falcon International team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and problem-solving skills, successfully overcoming each hurdle.

This project exemplifies Falcon’s commitment to excellence and their ability to turn challenges into triumphs. Congratulations to team Falcon International for a job well done!

The scope was the relocation of a new engine and removal of the old engine from inside the plant. Additionally, the process required mobilization of necessary equipment with end-to-end coordination.

The engine was transported as part of a power generation plant project based in Hays, Kansas set to provide electricity to residential areas and the industrial sector.

To achieve this movement the following steps were necessary: engine relocation via Jack & Slide techniques, timely arrival of a 13-axle truck, mobilization of a 260-ton crane, route survey for smooth transport, and permit acquisition for time-critical moves.

The primary challenges encountered during the shipment process were ensuring the timely availability of a truck at the Houston Terminal, obtaining permits for this time-sensitive operation, and coordinating the delivery of specialized lifting equipment for the trans-loading of the engine. Despite these challenges, the Falcon International team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and problem-solving skills, successfully overcoming each hurdle.

This project exemplifies Falcon’s commitment to excellence and their ability to turn challenges into triumphs. Congratulations to team Falcon International for a job well done!

As part of the Botany Rail Duplication Project Sarens was asked by our client John Holland to demolish 2 old rail bridges at O’Riordan Street.

The $400 million Port Botany Rail Line Duplication and Cabramatta Loop project will deliver better access to global export markets via Port Botany, improve freight supply chains across New South Wales, and help ease local road congestion.

Sarens had to remove two bridges – the east span weighing 258T and the west span weighing 284T.

There were two major challenges: The fixed steel billboard on the sides of the bridges; A four-hour time window to remove the old bridges and drive approximately 1 km over public roads, next to the Sydney airport, to bring them to the designated lay down yard; The weight of the bridges, more than 250tonnes each, and the surrounding structures ruled out the possibility of deploying a crane. SPMTs proved to be the ideal solution.

The Eastern bridge was removed by lowering the bridge down using the stroke of the SPMT. To remove the west span an additional stroke was required. The team decided to deploy CS250 climbing system on top of the SPMTs for the west span. Upon removal, the SPMTs drove the bridges down to a lay down yard, around 1km away. Upon arrival Sarens gantry system was used to lift bridge sections from the SPMTs onto concrete blocks.The removal & drive down to the lay down yard was completed in under four hours. (While the lowering could be done outside the critical window)

Michiel De Bodt, Technical Solutions Sales Manager adds, “The proximity of the project site to the Sydney Domestic and International Airport added to our challenge. We had to follow strict OLS restrictions and most of the work was completed during the night shifts.” He says, “It was a challenging project but with the close cooperation of all the parties our team successfully completed the project on time and within the budget.”

The South African heavy-load logistics provider Vanguard has purchased six rotor blade transport systems (RBTS) from TII SCHEUERLE.

The company is using these to transport more than 230 wind blades, each around 83 metres long, over a distance of around 500 kilometres to the respective operation sites. Vanguard chose the RBTS from TII SCHEUERLE primarily because of its flexibility, cost-effectiveness, transport safety and ease of use.

The RBTS (RotorBlattTransport-System) from TII SCHEUERLE has already completed the required test loading and test drives at Vanguard with flying colours. It had to demonstrate its particular strengths when transporting the almost 83 metre long wind blades. These are among the longest rotor blades for use in on-shore systems currently available on the world market. When loaded, the combined vehicle length reached 95 metres. TII SCHEUERLE, the industry specialist for heavy-load transport on and off-road from the TII Group, has once again impressively demonstrated the operational performance of the trailing unit concept.

“The tests have shown that the RBTS is even better than we expected,” says Bryan Hodgkinson, Director of Vanguard. Vanguard has purchased a total of six RBTS from TII SCHEUERLE. The internationally active heavy-load logistics provider Vanguard, with headquarters in Cleveland, South Africa, is currently transporting two rotor blades per week from the port of Ngqura near Port Elizabeth (Eastern Cape Province) over a distance of around 500 kilometres to their inland operational sites. The order includes the transport of more than 230 blades for 78 wind turbine facilities. It will take Vanguard around one year to do this. The company has already completed the first tours. “Everything has gone very smoothly so far,” said Bryan Hodgkinson.

The SCHEUERLE RBTS allows Vanguard to fulfil this order economically and efficiently as well as safely. A key strength of the RBTS is the safe and reliable transportation of even the longest wind blades over long distances. In addition, the trailing unit concept can be used flexibly for components of other lengths and is easy to operate. With the RBTS, Vanguard also has a versatile transport solution for wind blades in the future. “The SCHEUERLE RBTS has fully met our requirements. The company’s good reputation in the industry also spoke in favour of TII SCHEUERLE,” stated Bryan Hodgkinson.

“We were very pleased when Bryan Hodgkinson, CEO of Vanguard, decided in favour of the SCHEUERLE RBTS,” explained Lars Schoedt, Area Manager Sales at TII SCHEUERLE. “In our discussions, it became clear that we could provide Vanguard with the best transport solution for meeting their challenges in terms of flexibility, cost-effectiveness, safety and easy handling.” After the delivery of the six transport systems, service experts from TII SCHEUERLE trained the company employees so that they could easily load and transport the valuable and fragile cargo safely.

The SCHEUERLE RBTS consists of a 2-axle jeep dolly together with a free-turning device and a 4-axle trailing unit. It is also possible to mount the free-turning device directly on the truck tractor. The lift of up to two metres in the free-turning device is also large enough to accommodate obstacles such as surface unevenness and bumps in the road. The trailing unit combination makes an impressive case through its manoeuvrability and safe driving performance especially over long distances. It can negotiate bends that cannot be mastered with a telescopic semi-trailer without having to remove any infrastructure such as crash barriers. This reduces the time and effort involved in preparing the route, minimises the approval procedure and is therefore particularly cost-effective in use. Given that the rotor blades of increasingly more powerful wind turbines are becoming ever larger, the RBTS is also a particularly future-proof solution.

Assembly of the wind blade is carried out according to the plug-and-play principle. With the help of a special lifting device, the wing root is comfortably picked up from the ground. The quick coupling solution is comprised of the free-turning device along with the root adapter and a root frame that is connected to the blade root. This frame can then be secured to the free-turning device in next to no time with the help of the adapter. A clamping device on the trailer unit is used to fix the tip of the rotor blade into position. It can be adapted to accommodate rotor blades from other manufacturers.

The RBTS also offers great advantages regarding empty runs, depending on the region of operation. In Europe, for example, it can be shortened to form a semi-trailer combination in line with the European standard dimensions of 2.55 metres wide and less than four metres high. At the same time, the empty tractor-trailer combination weighs no more than 40t. Thus, for example, driving without a load requires less approval procedure. In South Africa too, there are advantages if the unloaded vehicle has the dimensions used in conventional transport. In such large countries, the high transport speed is also very impressive.

On September 12 2023, Japan Suiso Energy, Ltd. (JSE)*, and three Japanese shipping companies, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd. (“K” LINE), Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL), and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), have agreed to join JSE Ocean, Ltd. (JSE Ocean), a subsidiary of JSE.

JSE remains the majority shareholder with 50.2% of stock, whilst the shipping companies hold 16.6% each.

The expectation for hydrogen as a clean energy is increasing worldwide as we strive to achieve a decarbonized society. Japan’s Basic Hydrogen Strategy, revised by the Japanese government in June 2023, identifies hydrogen as the alternative to fossil fuels as it targets decarbonisation. In the Strategy Japan commits to a target of 3 million tons/year of hydrogen by 2030, 12 million tons/year by 2040, and 20 million tons/year by 2050.

The target hydrogen supply cost is approximately JPY30 /Nm3 in 2030 and JPY20 /Nm3 in 2050 at the point of arrival in Japan. To achieve these price and volume targets, and create a secure global supply chain, transport by ship is crucial.

In August 2021, Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO), allocated a grant from the Japanese government’s Green Innovation Fund to JSE, Iwatani Corporation and ENEOS Corporation for the “Liquefied Hydrogen Supply Chain Commercialization Demonstration Project”.

In this project, JSE will establish the world’s first large-scale hydrogen liquefaction and transportation technology, involving an initial 30,000 tons of hydrogen per year before upscaling. JSE will also demonstrate a comprehensive and reliable global liquefied hydrogen (LH2) supply chain, covering hydrogen production, liquefaction, export from Australia, marine transportation, and import.

JSE Ocean was established in January 2023 to research the marine transportation of LH2 by using a large- scale LH2 carrier. JSE, and the three Japanese shipping companies with extensive knowledge and experience in the energy transport business, will establish the marine transport of LH2 at a commercial scale through JSE Ocean.

We will collaborate to explore the safety and efficient operation of the world’s first large-scale LH2 carrier by 2024, as well as develop a viable marine transportation business scheme. Furthermore, the LH2 carrier will be powered by hydrogen, significantly reducing CO2 emissions during operation.

JSE was established in June 2021 with the main objectives of research, planning, management, and investment in the international supply chain of LH2. Current shareholder composition is Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. 66.6% Iwatani Corporation 33.4%.
