Huisman to deliver cranes for Capital Offshore

Huisman has signed a contract with Greek shipowner Capital Offshore for the delivery of four state-of-the-art Knuckle Boom Cranes.

The cranes boast a lifting capacity of 100mt each, and are designed to operate at depths of up to 3,000 meters, ensuring optimal performance in demanding offshore environments.

Equipped with Huisman’s proprietary Active Heave Compensation (AHC) System, which connects the crane’s electric setup to the vessel’s DC grid, enabling efficient interaction with the vessel’s electrical energy storage system. This integration significantly reduces the net energy consumption of offshore lifting operations.

The cranes will be integrated with the Kongsberg-designed power grid onboard the vessels. This integration maximises the cranes’ power performance while significantly reducing net energy consumption, thanks to Huisman’s proprietary energy recovery management system.

David Roodenburg, CEO of Huisman: “We are pleased to announce our new cooperation with Capital Offshore through this initial order, which marks an important milestone for us. We are proud to have earned Capital Offshore’s confidence in our capabilities. Our cranes are engineered to deliver exceptional performance and reliability in the most demanding offshore environments, and we look forward to supporting Capital Offshore in their operations. We see this as the start of a strong and lasting partnership, built on a shared commitment to quality, innovation, and operational excellence.”

Mammoet makes HVO commitment

Mammoet today announced that it will be implementing HVO fuel across the Netherlands, UK and Canada from Q2 2025.

The move demonstrates that the company is leading the market in developing more sustainable ways of conducting heavy lifting and transport.

This investment in HVO has been driven by higher demand for lower carbon solutions from Mammoet’s customers, and sits within the organization’s wider carbon reduction program.
Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a diesel replacement fuel made from vegetable oils and animal fats. It can reduce up to 90% of greenhouse gas (GHG or CO2) emissions over its lifecycle when compared to diesel.

By embracing HVO, a significant impact can be made on carbon reduction today. Meanwhile, solutions including grid power, battery operation and – in the case of large projects at remote locations – hydrogen are helping the organization to move closer to zero emissions on site.

Mammoet’s goal is to use HVO100 – which is made from 100% renewable raw materials – as much as possible. Mixable with existing fuel stocks, this alternative fuel is compatible with most diesel engines, and so can begin to be used immediately.

The adoption of HVO has been facilitated by significant change management programs within the affected local organizations; both in process and in infrastructure. For example, Mammoet’s own network of fueling stations that serve its fleet of trucks, mobile cranes and SPMTs.

HVO will be delivered to Mammoet fuel stations in the Netherlands, its UK bases in Hixon and Teesside, and branches in Canada. Besides reducing its own impact, this transition will enable Mammoet to create specific offerings for customers where a reduction in emissions is needed.

This innovation joins other recent investments by Mammoet in sustainable operations, including the electric powered SPMT, battery operation for even its largest ring cranes, and various investments in electric equipment.

Pascal Eeken, Improvement and Innovation Manager at Mammoet Europe, said: “This is a significant step we are taking to reduce our carbon footprint. By being the first large heavy lifting and transport company to commit to this new fuel at scale, we will drive down our emissions and showcase that we are also the market leader on this front.”

DEME’s expertise solves mystery

After many years of research, a mystery has finally been solved: the last unknown German submarine from World War I in Belgian waters has been identified as the UB-57.

The wreck of the UB-57 lies near the French border, west of the Westhinderbank, at a depth of about 17 meters. Although the wreck had been known for over thirty years and even protected as maritime heritage, its exact identity remained unclear. The submarine is largely buried in the sand, which made the research challenging.

“The significant challenge we faced was that traditional dredging was not an option; instead, we had to carefully blow the sand away. The primary risk was the potential damage to the submarine, which we absolutely had to avoid. This required extensive soil research to determine factors such as the compaction and grain size of the sand. Using a water jet at reduced power (via the AMOB system), we meticulously cleared the stern of the submarine, which had been buried for over a century. This process exposed the propellers, which bore inscriptions that ultimately confirmed the submarine’s identity as the UB-57,” commented Dirk Defloor (Area Director Benelux for Dredging & Infra) on the discovery. “Thanks to the excellent collaboration between the crew of our ‘Meuse River’ and our EDT and Survey department, DEME was able to contribute to solving the mystery of the last unidentified German U-boat from World War I in Belgian waters.”

The wreck belongs to the UB-III type, an advanced submarine with a range of 9,000 nautical miles and heavy armament, including five torpedo tubes and an 8.8 cm gun. The UB-57 disappeared on August 14, 1918, after a patrol during which three more ships were sunk. The wreck of the UB-57 is not only of historical importance but also a war monument. All 29 crew members perished in the disaster. After identification, the wreck was carefully reburied under the sand to prevent further erosion and damage.

The governor of West Flanders and chairman of Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee VLIZ, Carl Decaluwé, presented the discovery of the last unknown German submarine on April 14 at the InnovOcean Campus of VLIZ. Dr. Tomas Termote provided an explanation of this discovery in the presence of the German embassy, representatives of DEME, and the gathered press.

Sarens installs landmark cycling bridge

Sarens places a 240-tonne cycling and pedestrian bridge over the city’s busy ring road.

Sarens recently completed a key phase in a major infrastructure project in Hasselt, Belgium, involving the placement of a 240-tonne cycling and pedestrian bridge over the city’s busy ring road. This operation marked the third stage in a four-phase project and brought together complex engineering, expert planning, and flawless execution by the Sarens Belgium team.

The bridge was first transported to the quay using two sets of SPMTs fitted with turntables. There, it was transferred onto a barge with the help of an LTM 1650-8.1 and a Sarens AC700, configured as a 500-tonne crane due to scheduling constraints.

Once the bridge arrived in Hasselt by water, the Sarens team mobilised quickly. Cranes were set up along the quay and SPMTs prepared for the next stage. A three-crane tandem lift was then used to carefully unload the bridge from the barge. The LTM 1500-8.1 and an AC700 first lifted one side of the bridge together, using a triangle to bring it closer. When the first AC700 was able to bear the 145-tonne load alone, the 500-tonne crane was unhooked, and the bridge was gently slewed between the two remaining cranes. At the opposite end of the structure, a second AC700 helped guide the bridge into final position onto the SPMTs.

The final move took place during the early hours of a Sunday morning. At precisely 2:00 a.m., the team rolled the cranes, trucks, and bridge to position. At sunrise, the team lifted the bridge above the ring road. By midday, the cranes had been demobilised and the bridge was securely positioned—marking the successful completion of a highly coordinated, high-stakes operation.

Local media widely covered the event. The installation was featured on TVL News, VRT NWS, and a LinkedIn update, celebrating the engineering behind the scenes.

Now in place, the new bridge will serve as a vital link for cyclists and pedestrians in Hasselt. Residents across Limburg are invited to vote on a name for this new addition to the city’s sustainable transport network, set to become a familiar landmark for years to come.

The final stint of Kjetil Borch’s encounter with shipping

A month at sea leaves its mark, forming habits and patterns.

So, the first encounter with Port Elizabeth and then Durban was a significant change that left an impression on Kjetil Borch. And while there is something good about having solid ground under your feet again, the arrival in South Africa was also a break from the rocking monotony seafarers must learn to love.

Having sailed from Le Havre via Gothenburg to the southern tip of Africa, Kjetil Borch reflects on his time surrounded by the vast blue ocean with a sense of fulfilment.

“It has been an eventful time aboard the Höegh Target. A time I will never forget. Wonderful people and a unique insight into the camaraderie aboard a deep-sea vessel, exciting tasks, the feeling of increasingly mastering the work and the good feeling of being able to contribute positively. Both professionally and socially.”

“But it was also a good feeling to come ashore. And an impressive encounter with the operation that a port call is. Being aboard a giant like the Höegh Target when it docks is a wild experience. Watching the stevedores’ work is fascinating. How they communicate and have their own, understood language and hand signals. Seeing them park the endless rows of cars with military precision, so no space is wasted, and the decks are packed with cars, is simply impressive,” says Kjetil Borch.

He is now in Durban, where he has been for almost two weeks. South Africa provides the backdrop for the next—and final—chapter of his encounter with shipping.

During his stay at the office in Durban, Kjetil worked closely with Sondre Nilsen, Head of Port and Cargo Operations – in Sub-Saharan Africa. Besides putting in the hours at the office, Kjetil Borch attended stakeholders’ meetings, discussions and feedback with port operation and authorities with fellow RO/RO companies.

The shipping world, with all the different challenges and possibilities deep-sea operations represent, demands a well-balanced approach in cooperating with the many stakeholders to ensure and develop the cargo operations at berth, Borch says before pinpointing an important personal experience during his time in Durban: “I met my family outside Durban and got to see the whaling station where my grandfather worked decades ago. I had saved some whale-chocolate produced in my home county, as a symbolic salute to an industry and history that is long gone, reminding me of the vast changes in the maritime industry.”

“In South Africa, people generally start their day at 5:30 or earlier, to beat the heat and make the most of the day. I get it, as I got up at 05:50 and enjoyed the burning sunrise with a cup of Chinese tea on my balcony. I could get used to that!”

“It has been another exciting look into the work that is deep-sea freight. Offices worldwide are a prerequisite for maintaining a global portfolio of routes and supply lines. Agents in all countries. People work together to ensure the cargo arrives safely on time in every corner of the world. Fortunately, I have also had the opportunity to continue building on the work I did aboard the Höegh Target,” says the former rower.

Soon the journey goes homeward. To Norway and Oslo and the HA headquarters. And to the final reporting and summarizing of everything Kjetil Borch has experienced and learned.

With a baggage of good experiences and good impressions of shipping.

“It has been a very interesting encounter with shipping. Much has been as expected, but much has been completely new,” Borch says and continues:”It has been a great experience entering into a large organization that is big enough to be global in its outlook and footprint and small enough to be personal. Everyone knows everyone, and there is good collegiality,” Kjetil Borch says.

His summary of his stint at Höegh is very positive: “No two days are the same. Which is a big part of why shipping is fun. There is always something happening. It is a dynamic industry I’ve enjoyed my time in, and which suits me well with the educational background I have.”

“I’ve met a gathering of very skilled people – both on the vessel and in the offices. I have been listened to, and people in the company are very open to new perspectives. An important part of creating great results.”

According to the former Olympian medallist and world champion, rowing and shipping have things in common: Even if you are at the top, you can’t rest.

You must work hard and continuously develop, finding all the competitive advantages you can, as Borch puts it.

And according to Kjetil Borch, the best experience has been to see how being a Höegh Autoliner means the same all over the world: “Seeing how the Höegh culture lives in all corners of the world and takes root in departments that are far apart has been a great thing to witness. Despite different cultures and backgrounds, people work towards the same goal.”

Rhenus launches Empowered by You

By introducing the new Empowered by You employer brand, the Rhenus Group is taking an important strategic step to further strengthen its corporate culture and promote a sense of belonging among its employees worldwide.

A uniform employer brand is being established for the entire Group for the first time, creating a common self-image and further strengthening the team spirit across sites and national borders. The aim is to strengthen the working environment in which people feel valued, can develop their potential and identify with Rhenus in the long term.
A strong employer brand for a strong team

A clear and lived employer brand is a decisive factor for employee loyalty and satisfaction. It strengthens the sense of community, promotes exchange and ensures a high level of identification with the company. Companies with a strong internal corporate culture also record significantly higher employee satisfaction and lower staff turnover.

Dr. Joana Baetz, CHRO of the Rhenus Group and a member of the Management Board, explains: “Our employees are the heart of Rhenus – their commitment, their ideas and their entrepreneurial spirit drive us forward. We not only want to attract talented people with our new employer brand, but above all retain our existing employees in the long term and support them in their development. Empowered by You is more than just a guiding principle – it is a clear commitment to the people who shape Rhenus every day. Together, we are creating a culture of appreciation, trust and further development.”

The new Rhenus employer branding concept is based on four central pillars that define the employer value proposition: Entrepreneurship: Employees are encouraged to take responsibility and drive innovation; Purpose: Rhenus has an impact beyond logistics and shapes industries and economies; Opportunities: The focus is on career paths, further training opportunities and flexibility; Community: Team spirit, diversity and a strong corporate culture are fundamental components; From creative concept to global brand: the new employer brand comes to life

The introduction of the new employer brand is deliberately starting internally: As a first step, it will be brought to life in the global teams in order to create enthusiasm and further strengthen team cohesion. This includes company-wide information campaigns, interactive formats and opportunities for dialog.

One highlight is the Rhenus Empower Tour – an interactive roadshow through German and international Rhenus sites. A tour truck will be stopping off at various sites in Germany to experience the new identity and vision together with the employees.

In the long term, Empowered by You is intended to further develop a corporate culture in which all employees see themselves as part of a strong community – and as proud ambassadors of the Rhenus Group.
