When it comes to mobile cranes, The Allen Brothers are sure of one thing: “Tadano – and Demag earlier on – has always been our go-to choice for reliability, quality, and service.”

This is why the Irish company, headquartered in Tinode, Blessington, has consistently bet on Tadano as it continues to upgrade its fleet. The most recent of these upgrades is an AC 4.100L-1, which was preceded by the new AC 6.300-1 and AC 5.220L-1 cranes.

It is as though the AC 6.300-1 had been made specifically for Allen Crane Hire. After all, its 80-meter-long main boom, which comes as standard, means that the crane is perfectly equipped for erecting and disassembling at least 90 percent of all tower cranes used in Ireland – the company’s core business.

“Our new AC 4.100L-1 will first and foremost be for my daughter Sophie. But to tell you the truth, when I take a look at it, I’m pretty tempted to take it out for a spin myself,” exclaimed Robbie with a chuckle as he picked up the crane. The crane was handed over by Tadano Ireland Team Anthony Mullin and Ed Taylor.

Just like in many other countries, seeing a woman at the controls of a crane is still a rare sight in Ireland. However, taking a look at Sophie Allen’s family and surroundings helps explain her extraordinary career path: Cranes have been her passion ever since she was little, and working with her father Robbie and her uncle Alan in what is normally a male-dominated industry is simply part of her DNA. In fact, she is one of the youngest female crane operators in Ireland at 22 years old, and has been CSCS-certified since 2022. Since then, Sophie has done work at countless work sites with tower cranes of all sizes, including models with a luffing jib, and crawler cranes.

Anthony Mullin is quick to confirm her extraordinary talent: “I’ve been in this profession for almost 30 years, and Sophie’s the first female crane operator I’ve briefed. And let me tell you, I was really impressed – she’s confident, incredibly skilled in operating cranes, and a true expert at load calculations and load-securing techniques – just an absolute generational talent,” he says, full of praise. He hopes that Sophie will serve as a role model for other women and inspire them to join the industry, a sentiment that she shares. Sophie Allen speaks highly of him in return: “Tony is an expert through and through and takes the time to share his vast knowledge with palpable excitement,” she says, thanking him, Graham Lawlor, Colin Fitzsimons, and the Allen Cranes team for the crane training she has received – an experience that she has enjoyed every single day.

Robbie Allen believes that providing his employees with the best possible training is crucial: “In the past few years, we’ve invested massively in tower cranes with top-of-the-line quality and reliability so that we can provide our customers with the results they deserve. Combining that with the best crane operators out there, has been the key to our success and what has enabled us to be in the incredibly strong position in which we find ourselves today,” he says while succinctly explaining his company’s philosophy before adding that Tadano cranes are an indispensable part of his strategy.

Every December 9, Höegh Autoliners joins like-minded organisations in marking International Anti-Corruption Day.

This United Nations initiative reminds us of the serious harm corruption causes to societies, economies, and governments. As a company committed to integrity, we proudly support the UN campaign to stand United Against Corruption because every “NO” to corruption matters.

This year’s campaign builds on last year’s efforts to put young voices at the heart of the fight against corruption. It will feature future integrity leaders sharing insights on the links between organised crime and corruption, the role of AI and emerging technologies, and how corruption impacts peace and security, showing why combating corruption is essential for a fair and secure future.

The message is simple but powerful: young people are not only tomorrow’s leaders. They can be champions of transparency and accountability today. By engaging youth, listening to their experiences, and supporting their ideas, we can create a future where integrity is the norm.

Our commitment to a corruption-free maritime industry remains anchored in our zero-tolerance policy toward bribery, corruption, and facilitation payments. We believe that a strong culture of compliance and integrity builds trust and creates lasting value for both our organisation and society. Transparency is at the heart of what we do, and we encourage everyone to speak up whenever something doesn’t seem right. This means not only enforcing rules but also mentoring and empowering others, especially younger colleagues, to question processes and suggest better ways of working. By opening channels for their voices, we strengthen our culture of trust.

Finally, observing this day is a call to action. As a leader in the maritime industry, we see it as an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to accountability through training, stronger whistleblower protections, and more transparent reporting systems. Corruption cannot be solved by one organisation alone; it requires collective effort from young people, the public and private sectors, and civil society. Together, we can build a more honest and resilient organisation and contribute to a more just world.

Rhenus Logistics has successfully managed the international transport of a restored Triceratops skull from Trieste, Italy to a prestigious gallery in Dallas, Texas.

The operation highlights the strategic role of logistics in preserving and sharing cultural and scientific heritage worldwide.

The shipment was commissioned by ZOIC, a company specializing in fossil restoration and reconstruction. Originally collected from the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota, the skull weighs 318 kg and is 80 cm high, 120 cm wide and 185 cm deep. It underwent an extensive restoration process at ZOIC’s laboratories in Trieste before being prepared for its transatlantic journey.

Transporting a fossil that dates back more than 65 million years requires meticulous planning and compliance with international regulations. ZOIC designed custom packaging to protect the specimen during transit, using advanced shock-absorbing systems and specialized materials. Rhenus then coordinated the entire logistics chain, from collection at the restoration site to road transfer to Milan Malpensa Airport, air freight and final delivery in Dallas.

“When it comes to cultural assets, logistics plays a strategic role,” said Paola Calloni, Air Freight Product Country Manager at Rhenus Italy. “We are not just moving an object. We are safeguarding scientific and historical heritage that demands expertise and responsibility.”

The first step is always traceability. ZOIC carefully selects its suppliers by verifying documentation, provenance, geological context and all the information necessary to ensure a transparent purchase that complies with international regulations. Then the most delicate part begins: preparation. ZOIC’s experts, who have specialised in the processing of large vertebrates for decades, freed each fragment from the matrix, consolidated and reassembled the find to obtain a complete three-dimensional reconstruction, capable of restoring the original majesty of this iconic Cretaceous dinosaur.

But the journey does not end on the workbench. Once the 3D assembly, one of ZOIC’s strengths, is complete, logistics come into play. Rhenus, commissioned by ZOIC, took charge of the find and planned its international transport with the same attention to detail that characterises the restoration.

The collaboration between Rhenus and ZOIC reflects a shared commitment to excellence. By combining scientific knowledge with logistical precision, the two companies provide museums, collectors and scientific institutions with a complete and transparent service that includes restoration, mounting, packaging and shipping.

“Bringing paleontology to the world means uniting science and logistics,” said Giorgia Bacchia, Logistics and Compliance Manager at ZOIC. “It’s a collaborative effort that ensures the stories of the past continue to be heard.” This project demonstrates how modern logistics is not only a service but a key enabler for the global dissemination of cultural and scientific heritage.

Dogger Bank Wind Farm and delivery partner Seaway7 have installed all 277 transition pieces on Dogger Bank Wind Farm, marking the completion of all foundation installation work on the 3-phase offshore wind project in the North Sea.

Seaway7’s heavy-lift vessel, Seaway Alfa-Lift installed the 87th and final transition piece onto its corresponding monopile foundation at Dogger Bank C, the third phase of Dogger Bank Wind Farm, in late November. This milestone followed the previous installation of 95 transition pieces at the Dogger Bank A and 95 at the Dogger Bank B phases of the project.

In total, Seaway7 has installed 554 foundation assets on the wind farm, following successful installation of 277 monopiles earlier in the construction programme, utilising Seaway7’s heavy lift vessel Seaway Strashnov

Alan Evans, Senior Project Manager on Dogger Bank Wind Farm, said: “Today we’re celebrating the safe and successful installation of more than 500 foundation assets across the three phases of Dogger Bank Wind Farm over the last three years.

“During this time, we’ve enjoyed a strong partnership with Seaway7 and its sub-suppliers who together, have navigated a hugely demanding and complex engineering challenge.

“We now have the solid foundations in place to support our 277 generating assets that will make a significant contribution to a cleaner, more secure and affordable renewable-led energy system.”

Bruce Willox, Project and Operations Director, Seaway7, said: “Installing the foundations for the world’s largest offshore wind farm is an enormous achievement. Over the three years, hundreds of components and over a thousand lifts have been completed – representing a phenomenal scale in offshore construction. Installing the full scope across all three project phases enabled us to optimise safety, performance, and efficiency.

“This project demonstrates what can be achieved through strong partnership, shared ambition, and the dedication of our skilled people working onshore and offshore. We are proud to have played a key role in the journey to delivering Dogger Bank Wind Farm and thank our client and partners for their trust and collaboration.”

This collaboration underscores DEME’s commitment to supporting Malaysia’s maritime infrastructure and aligns with BPHB’s long-term operational standards, guaranteeing uninterrupted cargo movement and optimal port functionality.

DEME has a long-standing presence in Bintulu, dating back to 1995 with the Capital Dredging and Stone Column Works at the LPG Terminal. This is a testament to DEME’s significant role in terms of shaping Sarawak’s port infrastructure.

For the current project, DEME has deployed its Trailing Suction Hopper Dredgers Pearl River and Nile River.. Operational coordination included the setup of floating and land-based reclamation pipelines at both ports, daily progress reporting, and hydrographic survey validation to ensure precision and efficiency throughout the operation.

By restoring navigational depths and enhancing port functionality, this project further reinforces Sarawak’s position as a vital hub for industrial and LNG cargo. In this connection, DEME remains committed to delivering sustainable and innovative solutions that support both regional growth and global trade.

Sarens is supporting the construction of the new Ringvaartbrug on the R4 in Ghent, a key element of the R4WO KWN02 project designed to improve mobility and ease traffic flow across the Ringvaart canal.

The bridge will play an important role in strengthening local connectivity, and Sarens was entrusted with the specialised lifting and transport operations required to assemble its major structural components.

The works took place in a complex environment, with limited space, active railway lines, underground utilities, and several anchor points spread across the site. These constraints required careful planning and precisely engineered lifting configurations. After Sarens delivered the bridge elements to the project area by pontoon and SPMT, out Belgium business unit brought in the necessary cranes and support equipment to carry out the assembly in two phases.

An AC700 and an LTM1650-8.1 with guided boom were used to lift the 229-ton bow top and two bow sections. Once the guided boom was removed, both cranes performed the lift of the 364-ton main beam, measuring 107,5 metres in length. In the second phase, the final two bow legs were installed using an AC700 and an AC500. All equipment was selected to handle the weight and dimensions of the components while also meeting the strict safety requirements dictated by ground conditions, proximity to infrastructure, and the geometry of the site. Despite weather considerations and space limitations, the operations were completed efficiently: about one week for the first phase and three days for the second. Sarens will return in 2026 to position the bridge in its final location using SPMTs and pontoons.

The Ringvaartbrug project is being delivered at a moment when Belgium’s civil engineering sector continues to expand. Public investment in transport, electrical infrastructure, and renewable energy is supporting steady growth, and the increased demand for specialised heavy lifting and engineered transport solutions highlights the essential role of companies like Sarens in enabling these works. As large-scale infrastructure projects gather momentum across the country, the ability to manage complex lifts safely and with precision becomes increasingly important.

For Sarens, the Ringvaartbrug is part of a broader commitment to delivering technically demanding bridge projects. In recent years, the company has assisted with installations across Belgium and Europe—from pedestrian and cycle bridges in Brussels and Hazebrouck, to major structures such as the Colbert Bridge in Dieppe, the 5.850-ton OA14 bridge in Bettembourg, and the 8.400-ton railway bridge on the A1 motorway in Amsterdam. Each of these projects, including the Ringvaartbrug, reflects Sarens’ expertise in supporting infrastructure that strengthens mobility, connects communities, and contributes to long-term regional development.

PROLOG India are pleased to share a recent project movement for a major refinery expansion with cargo shipped from the Middle East to India.

The successful project stands as a testament to the capability of PROLOG India to lift, move, and deliver critical energy infrastructure beyond limits.

The mission began in the Middle East, where 22 critical refinery modules, weighing a total of 8,227frt, were prepared for a high-stakes voyage to India. The cargo included exceptionally heavy units such as 2 × 86mt, 3 × 47mt, 3 × 43mt, 3 × 39mt, and 3 × 36mt, each demanding tailored handling strategies, accurate rigging plans, and vessel-specific stowage engineering.

From the moment the project was commissioned, the PROLOG India technical and operations teams worked in complete synergy. Detailed method statements, lifting plans, stability calculations, and risk assessments were carried out well in advance to ensure seamless readiness at the port of loading. Close coordination with the shipping line, port authorities, and on-ground supervision teams ensured full control over every phase – from ex-works movement and pre-loading inspections to lifting, securing, and ocean transit.

Upon arrival in India, the project reached its most critical stage. The safe discharge of the heavy modules required more than equipment; it required foresight, on-site experience, and meticulous sequencing. The PROLOG India team ensured flawless execution, maintaining strict safety compliance, optimised lifting configurations, and round-the-clock oversight to deliver the cargo on time, safely, and without operational deviations.

“At PROLOG India, every project is an opportunity to redefine what’s possible in heavy-lift logistics. This project is more than just another successful delivery, it reflects PROLOG India’s role in moving essential energy infrastructure that powers industries, supports national development, and strengthens India’s refinery capabilities for the future.”

PROLOG India are pleased to share a recent project movement for a major refinery expansion with cargo shipped from the Middle East to India.

The successful project stands as a testament to the capability of PROLOG India to lift, move, and deliver critical energy infrastructure beyond limits.

The mission began in the Middle East, where 22 critical refinery modules, weighing a total of 8,227frt, were prepared for a high-stakes voyage to India. The cargo included exceptionally heavy units such as 2 × 86mt, 3 × 47mt, 3 × 43mt, 3 × 39mt, and 3 × 36mt, each demanding tailored handling strategies, accurate rigging plans, and vessel-specific stowage engineering.

From the moment the project was commissioned, the PROLOG India technical and operations teams worked in complete synergy. Detailed method statements, lifting plans, stability calculations, and risk assessments were carried out well in advance to ensure seamless readiness at the port of loading. Close coordination with the shipping line, port authorities, and on-ground supervision teams ensured full control over every phase – from ex-works movement and pre-loading inspections to lifting, securing, and ocean transit.

Upon arrival in India, the project reached its most critical stage. The safe discharge of the heavy modules required more than equipment; it required foresight, on-site experience, and meticulous sequencing. The PROLOG India team ensured flawless execution, maintaining strict safety compliance, optimised lifting configurations, and round-the-clock oversight to deliver the cargo on time, safely, and without operational deviations.

“At PROLOG India, every project is an opportunity to redefine what’s possible in heavy-lift logistics. This project is more than just another successful delivery, it reflects PROLOG India’s role in moving essential energy infrastructure that powers industries, supports national development, and strengthens India’s refinery capabilities for the future.”
