Heavy and out-of-gauge transport to Scandinavia
Ferries and bridges lead to Scandinavia; each country has its own rules for special transports. Denmark, Sweden and Finland are EU members, Norway is not. Long distances and winter conditions are part of the planning.
What matters
- Ferry or bridge
- Ferries have their own limits for dimensions and weight; booking is part of the planning.
- Permits per country
- Every country crossed requires its own permit.
- Norway
- Non-EU: export and import formalities.
- Winter
- Snow, ice and short days affect travel times.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Which country, and where exactly?
- Dimensions and weight?
- Ferry or bridge route?
- Is it going to Norway (customs)?
- Which season?
What we need from you
- Destination country and site
- Dimensions and weight

Preparation: You hand over the cargo ready for loading with known lifting points – dismantling, assembly and foundation work are handled by your team or your installation partner.
What we do for you
What we organise
- Feasibility check per project with questions on missing values
