The Höegh Trapper is the largest car transporter in the world. It can carry 8,000 vehicles in 71,000 square metres of storage space. One of the construction design factors was the need to negotiate the bottleneck of the Panama Canal.

A wind farm - over 2,000 tons of highly sensitive and valuable cargo - needs to get from Europe to Taiwan in Asia using one of the world's largest heavy lift vessels. A team has only 37 days for loading in two ports and travelling once around half of the globe. To be able to transport the entire cargo, the crew even has to build another level altogether - in the middle of the deck.

Transporting one of the biggest bulldozers in the world, to gold mines in the Kolymar mountain range in eastern Russia is a major mission, through an inhospitable frozen landscape of snow covered mountain passes, temporary bridges and unpaved ice roads.
