ABL is proud to have supported the successfully commissioned 30 MW EolMed floating offshore wind pilot in the South of France, marking a significant milestone for floating wind development in the country and the wider Mediterranean region.

The EolMed 30MW floating wind project, led by QAIR, is located approximately 20 km offshore from Port‑la‑Nouvelle and Gruissan, in the South of France.

The project comprises three 10MW Vestas V-164 wind turbines installed on BW Ideol’s Damping Pool floating foundations, in water depths of approximately 60 metres.

The first of the three floating turbines departed from the Port of Port‑la‑Nouvelle for the offshore site in December 2025 under the supervision of the ABL Marine Warranty Surveyors, marking the start of offshore installation activities.

ABL, the global energy and marine consultancy, was appointed by EolMed as Marine Warranty Surveyor (MWS), supporting the wind turbine integration and marine operations for the load-out and float-off, the transportation and installation (T&I) campaign for the floating foundations, moorings and cables.

“We were able to bring to EolMed a strong track-record in de-risking both onshore operations – such as load-out / float-off and floating wind turbine integration – and offshore activities, built through our involvement in France’s offshore wind projects, including floating wind developments at Mediterranean sites such as Leucate and Faraman. Our ability to provide integrated support – from port feasibility studies through to geoscience review and marine warranty surveying – has been recognised by our client. We are very proud to have contributed to this key project for the development of this industry.” Kevin Vincent, Snr. T&I and Methods Engineer, ABL France.

ABL’s team in France, based in Paris, also previously supported the Port of Port‑la‑Nouvelle through a separate feasibility study, assessing port infrastructure requirements to enable floating wind deployment and longer‑term operations and maintenance (O&M) in the region.

ABL’s sister company – the renewable energy consultants, OWC – also contributed to the project, providing International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) contract support services for the construction of the floaters up to load-out, float-off and wind turbine integration at Port-La-Nouvelle.

ABL and OWC are both part of Oslo‑listed ABL Group and have long‑established operations in the French market, based in Paris and Nantes respectively.

Together, the two companies have contributed to all of France’s currently operational offshore wind projects, supporting both bottom‑fixed and floating wind developments.

How and when we support French offshore wind: ABL: we specialise in supporting clients to plan, develop and mitigate risk across marine operations (onshore and offshore) – from transportation and installation to O&M and later-life alternatives including decommissioning.

OWC: with a heritage as the marine renewable energy specialist Innosea – OWC provides technical and commercial advisory, owner’s engineering and due diligence services to support offshore wind projects from early feasibility and development through to construction and operations.

Through their respective expertise, ABL and OWC support clients across key technical, marine and commercial interfaces, helping enable safe and successful offshore wind project delivery in France.

Sarens is proud to contribute to a landmark renewable‑energy development in the Baltic Sea: the Baltic Power Offshore Wind Farm, Poland’s first operational offshore wind installation.

With 76 turbines of approximately 15MW each and a total capacity between 1.1–1.2GW, Baltic Power will supply around 4TWh of clean electricity annually, enough to power more than 1.5 million households.

Working on behalf of Customer Vestas, with PKN Orlen as the project owner, Sarens is executing extensive offshore wind turbine pre‑assembly works from the port of Rønne, Denmark.

Located approximately 23 km north of the Polish coastline, near the municipalities of Choczewo and Łeba, the 130km² offshore area is one of the region’s most significant renewable developments. Baltic Power represents a major step forward for Poland’s decarbonisation strategy, strengthening the national energy mix and accelerating the shift toward renewable power.

Sarens was selected for this critical phase of the project thanks to our technical expertise, innovative solutions, and proven track record in large‑scale offshore wind logistics. Our ability to think “out of the box” and deliver turnkey engineered solutions positioned us as the preferred partner for the pre‑assembly activities.

Throughout the project, Sarens is responsible for the handling, lifting, and pre‑assembly of the turbine components, including: 76 nacelles (approx. 715 tonnes each); 304 tower sections (up to 228 tonnes each); 228 blades (117 tonnes each).

In total, this represents nearly 289,000 tonnes of offshore wind components handled at the port.

To execute this demanding scope, Sarens deployed a powerful fleet of heavy lifting equipment, including: CC 9800; CC 6800; LR 1350; LR 1300; LR 1280; 80 SPMT axle lines.

This combination delivers the capacity and flexibility required to support continuous component flow, from load‑in to storage, transport to quayside, and final pre‑assembly before offshore installation.

Baltic Power is more than a construction project — it is a major step in the region’s renewable‑energy journey. As the first offshore wind farm in Polish waters, it sets the standard for future developments and reinforces the essential role of heavy lifting expertise in enabling the clean‑energy transition.

Sarens is proud to support our partners with world‑class engineering, equipment, and on‑site execution, helping bring one of Europe’s most significant offshore wind projects to life.

Sarens is proud to contribute to a landmark renewable‑energy development in the Baltic Sea: the Baltic Power Offshore Wind Farm, Poland’s first operational offshore wind installation.

With 76 turbines of approximately 15MW each and a total capacity between 1.1–1.2GW, Baltic Power will supply around 4TWh of clean electricity annually, enough to power more than 1.5 million households.

Working on behalf of Customer Vestas, with PKN Orlen as the project owner, Sarens is executing extensive offshore wind turbine pre‑assembly works from the port of Rønne, Denmark.

Located approximately 23 km north of the Polish coastline, near the municipalities of Choczewo and Łeba, the 130km² offshore area is one of the region’s most significant renewable developments. Baltic Power represents a major step forward for Poland’s decarbonisation strategy, strengthening the national energy mix and accelerating the shift toward renewable power.

Sarens was selected for this critical phase of the project thanks to our technical expertise, innovative solutions, and proven track record in large‑scale offshore wind logistics. Our ability to think “out of the box” and deliver turnkey engineered solutions positioned us as the preferred partner for the pre‑assembly activities.

Throughout the project, Sarens is responsible for the handling, lifting, and pre‑assembly of the turbine components, including: 76 nacelles (approx. 715 tonnes each); 304 tower sections (up to 228 tonnes each); 228 blades (117 tonnes each).

In total, this represents nearly 289,000 tonnes of offshore wind components handled at the port.

To execute this demanding scope, Sarens deployed a powerful fleet of heavy lifting equipment, including: CC 9800; CC 6800; LR 1350; LR 1300; LR 1280; 80 SPMT axle lines.

This combination delivers the capacity and flexibility required to support continuous component flow, from load‑in to storage, transport to quayside, and final pre‑assembly before offshore installation.

Baltic Power is more than a construction project — it is a major step in the region’s renewable‑energy journey. As the first offshore wind farm in Polish waters, it sets the standard for future developments and reinforces the essential role of heavy lifting expertise in enabling the clean‑energy transition.

Sarens is proud to support our partners with world‑class engineering, equipment, and on‑site execution, helping bring one of Europe’s most significant offshore wind projects to life.

Mammoet, the global leader in engineered heavy lifting and transport, has been awarded a contract by Saipem to carry out the heavy-lift scope for the construction of Beccs Stockholm – one of Europe’s first large-scale projects for carbon capture and removal.

Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is a method for permanent carbon removal, by capturing carbon dioxide (CO₂) from biogenic emissions at a combined heat and power plant and storing it underground.

When ready in 2028, the Beccs Stockholm plant will capture and store 800,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually from the biogenic flue gases of Stockholm Exergi’s existing combined heat and power plant. The plant will see Stockholm becoming one of the first cities in the world to capture biogenic CO₂ on a large scale.

The site is owned and operated by Stockholm Exergi and the project has been part funded by the European Innovation Fund and the Swedish government.

Mammoet will support with the lifting of around 23 components weighing between 50t and 280t, and two larger components – the stripper and absorber – weighing around 1,500t.

These two heaviest items will be lifted by one of the world’s largest land-based cranes – Mammoet’s PTC 140 DS – a 3,200t class ring crane that can lift weights of up to 5,000t. They will be delivered to the site on a barge horizontally, before being orientated to a vertical position using a 1,250t crawler crane and the PTC crane prior to installation.

Several other crawlers, ranging from 300t to 800t, will also be on site to support the assembly of the main PTC crane and lifting of the smaller components.

As the PTC must be assembled on an area reserved for the build, Mammoet must assemble and disassemble the crane within a short timeframe.

Pieter van der Weele, Senior Project Manager at Mammoet, said: “Timing and planning are essential for this build. We have just four weeks to assemble the PTC, which will be achieved with two teams working in two shifts.

The installation stage is also a window of four weeks, and then we must break the crane down again in six, freeing up the area so that it can be used to build the remainder of the plant”.

Mammoet will take the PTC 140 to Stockholm in April 2027 and will begin assembling the 150-meter-tall crane. With the project site close to Stockholm city center, residents will be able to witness its role in the construction of this landmark decarbonization project.

Avianca Cargo, a leading air cargo carrier in the region, concluded the 2026 Mother’s Day season with record-breaking results, solidifying its position as a primary transporter of flowers to the United States.

During the season, the airline moved more than 21,000 tons of flowers and accounted for 42% of Colombian flower exports to the U.S.

This performance marks the largest Mother’s Day season in the company’s history. Including shipments from Ecuador, at least one out of every three flowers exported from the region reached its destination aboard Avianca Cargo aircraft.

To meet increased seasonal demand, Avianca Cargo operated more than 330 cargo flights, surpassing the number of flights operated in 2025. The operation was supported by a fleet of nine dedicated freighters, two more than the previous year, as well as additional leased capacity, allowing the company to meet demand without disrupting service across other markets.

“Mother’s Day remains one of the most significant seasons for the flower industry, and we are proud to deliver another strong performance that reinforces our leadership in the market,” said Diogo Elias, CEO of Avianca Cargo. “This year’s results reflect the scale of our operation and the trust our partners place in us to move more than 21,000 tons of flowers to the United States, which reflects the coordinated work across the entire logistics chain and further strengthens our role as a key connector between Colombia, Ecuador and global markets.”

“Miami-Dade County continues to be home to America’s largest gateway for fresh flowers, where more than 1,500 tons of stems have been arriving daily this year for Mother’s Day,” said Daniella Levine Cava. “As MIA continues to rise as a global cargo hub — now ranked #3 in the world for total freight — our strong partnerships with leading cargo airlines like Avianca and the dedicated support of U.S. Customs and Border Protection help ensure millions of blooms safely and efficiently reach moms across the country in time for the holiday.”

Key operational and logistics highlights: More than 21,000 tons of flowers transported during the season; More than 330 cargo flights operated; 42 percent of total capacity allocated to flower transportation; Up to 24 daily departures during peak days; Approximately 24 million stems transported within a 24-hour period at peak.

During a typical week, about 30 percent of Avianca Cargo’s capacity is dedicated to flower transportation. During the Mother’s Day season, that figure increased to 42 percent, underscoring the importance of this period for the floriculture industry.

To ensure efficiency across its network, Avianca Cargo implemented key enhancements at its main stations: In Miami, the company increased its ground workforce by 20 percent and enabled a new inspection area in coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to streamline processing times; In Bogotá, warehouse capacity increased 35%, while Medellín saw a 41% increase, strengthening cargo reception and improving handling efficiency.

Avianca Cargo also maintained strong market positions on key routes, including an estimated 65 percent share on Medellín to Miami and approximately 35 percent on Bogotá to Miami. The airline also expanded its reach to the U.S. West Coast by increasing its Los Angeles operation from three to five weekly frequencies compared with the 2025 Mother’s Day season, further improving access to that market.

“As families prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day, our agriculture specialists and frontline officers are working tirelessly to help ensure flowers arriving into the United States are safe from harmful pests and plant diseases,” said Daniel Alonso, Director of Field Operations (СВР). “I’m incredibly proud of our workforce and their commitment to protecting America’s agriculture while helping families enjoy this meaningful holiday with peace of mind.”

As part of this year’s Mother’s Day season, Avianca Cargo recognized the individuals behind each shipment, especially the mothers who are part of the floriculture and logistics sectors. Their dedication plays a vital role in ensuring that millions of flowers reach homes around the world.

PCN members in the USA and Canada, Balena Projects have managed a shipment of transformers and accessories, transporting the specialised equipment from Wilmington, NC to Raleigh, NC.

The project involved careful planning to handle cargo of over 120tns, ensuring that the shipment arrived safely and on time.

Their services included port-to-door transportation, with the cargo successfully received at the terminal and delivered to the final destination, as well as conducting discharging surveys at the delivery site. Each step was carefully coordinated to ensure the smooth execution of the operations and proper handling of the equipment.

“This project reflects our ability to manage complex logistics for sensitive and high-value cargo. Delivering shipments like this demonstrates our focus on providing reliable, end-to-end logistics solutions.”

Through this message Broekman would like to inform you that, effective May 1st, Robin van Veldhoven will take on the role of Operations Manager within Broekman Project Services B.V.

She succeeds Mark Berendsen, to whom we are extremely grateful for all the years in which he, together with the operations team, has served our customers with great dedication.

Robin: “I have been working within Broekman Logistics for more than 15 years and have therefore been able to observe our terminal operations and the associated challenges from the sidelines. The sharpening of our strategy in the market segments Heavy Lifting, Breakbulk, and Battery Energy Storage Systems is supported by the arrival of a new Heavy Lift crane, strengthening our service offering. Our focus on delivering the best solution and service for our customers remains unchanged, and I will fully commit myself to this. Together with the team, we will continue to build a safe and efficient terminal operation that our customers can rely on and trust. I realise that I still have much to learn, but thanks to the operational team and experienced mentors, I am above all looking forward to this new challenge.”

We wish Robin every success and much enjoyment in her new role within Broekman Project Services B.V.

TII KAMAG is introducing a new generation of the KAMAG Slag Pot Carrier (SPC), further developing its proven transport concept for use in steel mills.

The new model specifically addresses the requirements in the payload segment from 60 t to 100 t in the U-frame version and from 40 t to 120 t in the platform version, replacing the previous SPC in this class.

At the centre of the redesign is the comprehensively updated prime mover, serving as the central core module of the SPC. The customer-specific trailer unit continues to be configured according to individual application requirements. For higher payload ranges of up to 170 t, the established large prime mover design from TII KAMAG remains an integral part of the portfolio.

A key focus of the new generation is the redesigned cab. It offers increased space, improved visibility of the working environment and load, and a clearly structured control layout. The ergonomically designed, step-type access facilitates safe entry into the cab during daily operation. In addition, enhanced cab and seat suspension help to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts in demanding steel mill environments.

Service and maintenance accessibility has also been specifically improved in the new SPC model. Key components such as the engine cooling unit and electrical cabinet are significantly easier to access. The newly structured filtration system with electrical contamination indicator supports condition-based maintenance and helps to minimise downtime while improving overall vehicle availability.

The vehicle architecture has been further refined in terms of safety. The design of the prime mover is almost flush with the cab, improving lines of sight and reducing potential blind spots. Combined with the safe step-type access, this results in an overall higher level of safety for operation in complex steel mill environments.

A particular feature of the new generation is the further developed U-frame version. Design optimisations have resulted in a significantly shorter and more compact vehicle, specifically suited for older and space-constrained steel mill layouts. This enables precise manoeuvring in confined areas and expands operational capabilities in facilities with limited infrastructure.

“We develop our industrial vehicles consistently from real-world application requirements. The new SPC generation is a clear example of this approach: it addresses specific challenges from daily steel mill operations and translates them into a more compact, safer and more maintenance-friendly solution,” explains Jochen Samulski, Head of Technology Metallurgy & Special Vehicles at TII KAMAG.

The new SPC model can be equipped with additional options such as extended lighting packages, fire suppression systems or tyre pressure monitoring systems. This allows the vehicle to be tailored precisely to specific requirements within the steel mill environment.

With the new generation of the Slag Pot Carrier, TII KAMAG continues the ongoing development of its solutions for in-plant heavy transport. The model is now available and, particularly through the more compact U-frame version, offers extended application possibilities in existing steel mill environments. Delivery of the first units is already scheduled for the second half of 2026.
