Front Shipping AS moved a 125 ton heavy load from US to Norway

May 12, 2026

Front Shipping AS, member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) for Norway, recently completed a complex door‑to‑door transportation project from Charleston to Oslo involving a 125‑ton cargo unit requiring urgent handling.

The shipment was transported on a gearless charter vessel under a last‑in/first‑out (LIFO) arrangement to accelerate delivery. Upon arrival at the Port of Oslo, the unit was safely discharged using a 650‑ton mobile crane, moved to temporary port storage, and subsequently transported inland using specialized heavy‑haul equipment.

At the final jobsite, the unit was accurately positioned onto its foundation, completing the operation.
