In the summer of 2024, after the Paris Olympic Games, the sculling pioneer Kjetil Borch retired after a lifetime on the biggest international stage – with an impressive result list and medal tally to his name. Now an intern at Höegh Autoliners through Neste Steg (Next Step), an organization preparing former elite athletes and military personnel for what’s next after their active careers, he is exploring the wonders of another ocean trait very different from the world he’s learned to master after 21 years of rowing: The shipping sector.

Shipping heavy equipment brings several unique logistical challenges. Items such as agricultural machinery or construction equipment are not only large and heavy but rarely break down into smaller components. This makes the loading, transportation, and unloading a lot more complex, introducing potential safety concerns and costly handling procedures. To add to the complexities, heavy equipment shipping overseas is most commonly required for projects, which are often tied to strict deadlines and timelines. Therefore, it usually needs to reach its final destination on time, while any delays could introduce significant costs too.
