We transport your energy technology components safely to their destination by sea freight – worldwide

Do you want to transport energy technology from A to B by ship? Then you have chosen a complex challenge. A challenge that you would like support with. Rotor blades, solar modules or transformer stations - all sensitive goods that require well thought-out transport solutions. Because we at Transway have already handled countless sea freight transports of energy technology components, you have safety, efficiency and experience on your side.

An example: Certain energy technologies fall into the category of dangerous goods - and this requires special care and expertise. Or the many IMDG Code regulations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). On top of that, special packaging, labeling and documentation - we take care of all these things while you can deal with more important things.

But that's not all: The product range in energy technology is broad - it ranges from delicate battery storage systems to impressive biomass power plants. Flexibility is required here.

Flat rack containers are ideal for large, heavy or bulky goods. Thanks to the open sides and top as well as the stable base plate, rotor blades, generators or transformer stations can be easily loaded.

Is the transported goods so heavy and bulky that a container is not an option? Then we send the biogas plant or biomass power plant on its way using break bulk loading.

On the other hand, container loading is ideal for smaller components such as solar modules, control systems or energy-saving lighting. These parts fit well in standard containers and at the same time benefit from additional protection.

If dangerous goods such as battery systems are to be transported by ship, specialised containers with temperature control are the means of choice to meet the strict IMDG regulations and special requirements.

Heavy-Lift is the solution for complex projects that require precise handling - for example when transporting complete high-voltage switchgear or large generators.

FAQ on sea freight transport of energy technology

1. Large plants and systems
Bulky biogas plants, biomass power plants or high-voltage switchgear need well-thought-out transport concepts. With break-bulk loading and heavy-lift equipment, every plant reaches its destination safely - regardless of size and weight.

2. Medium-sized systems and components
Diesel generators, control systems and solar modules each have their own requirements for overseas transport. Thanks to years of experience with these components, we know their specific characteristics. This pays off for you with smooth processes and punctual delivery.

3. Energy technology components
Energy-saving lighting systems and air and water treatment technologies benefit from the same precise handling as large plants. Container loading optimally protects sensitive components throughout the entire journey.

4. Electromobility and charging infrastructure
The boom in e-mobility requires sophisticated transport solutions for charging infrastructure and battery systems. Temperature-controlled special containers and IMDG-compliant loading ensure that your sensitive technology reaches its destination in perfect condition.

5. Control systems
Sensitive control cabinets and control components require special protection during transport. Specially equipped containers with shock absorbers and moisture protection ensure full functionality at the destination.

For the sea transport of energy technology components, we can use various options based on the size, type and weight of the cargo.

Container loading: Ideal for smaller components such as solar modules, control systems or cables. Common sizes are 20-foot, 40-foot and 45-foot containers. If more space is required in height, high-cube variants are the method of choice. We are also increasingly relying on smart containers equipped with IoT sensors. These enable real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity and vibrations - critical factors when transporting sensitive energy technology such as high-performance solar cells or control electronics.

Flat rack container: Suitable for larger parts such as biomass power plants and biogas plants that do not fit in standard containers.

Break bulk: For bulky loads such as transformer stations that do not fit in conventional container structures.

Heavy Lift: Used for exceptionally heavy or oversized goods, for example complete large high-voltage switchgear.

Special containers: For dangerous goods such as battery systems containing lithium-ion batteries, temperature-controlled containers that comply with IMDG regulations are used.

When we send your energy technology across the world's oceans, there are a number of challenges associated with this.
An example: When transporting oversized and heavy items such as rotor blades for wind turbines or large generators by sea, we use special loading concepts to ensure the integrity of your goods.

At the same time, sensitivity is required when handling sensitive technologies. Solar modules and highly complex control systems must be particularly protected from vibrations, moisture and temperature fluctuations.

We ship special cargo such as battery storage systems in strict compliance with the IMDG Code regulations. Our trained staff relies on processes that have proven themselves in many successful transport projects.

Project cargo such as complete biogas plants or biomass power plants are particularly demanding. These require comprehensive logistics planning, from route planning to the selection of suitable ships to the coordination of all parties involved at the start and destination.
