Sarens has successfully carried out the load-out of the 8,300-ton Hugin A Utility Module in Norway, one of the largest heavy-lift transport operations in the region. The move was executed using a 300-axle configuration of TII KAMAG Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMT), designed to handle oversized and ultra-heavy cargo.

The project demanded precise engineering and detailed planning to ensure safety and stability throughout the operation. Sarens’ team worked in close coordination with the vessel crew to manage the complex lift, reinforcing its expertise in heavy-lift and engineered transport logistics.
