Since 2016, Sarens and NorSea Logistics have joined forces under a long-standing frame agreement to provide specialist heavy transport services along Norway’s west coast. Recently renewed until 2028, this enduring partnership has proven to be a success formula for the offshore industry, combining Sarens’ global engineered transport expertise with NorSea’s deep local presence.

Under this agreement, Sarens assists with port activities at key NorSea locations, including Stordbase, by transporting large offshore components that conventional port equipment cannot handle. Using 24 axle lines of K24ST SPMTs, Sarens moves a wide range of critical structures: offshore cable reels from 70 to 400 tonnes, subsea templates up to 450 tonnes, and subsea processing modules reaching 400 tonnes. The loads are typically transferred from quay to temporary storage areas and back for final offshore installation.

“The collaboration with Sarens has been a very positive experience for us at NorSea Logistics,” says Kåre Reksnes Haukereid, Site Manager at NorSea Stordbase. “They deliver quality in every aspect – from engineering and planning to execution – always with a focus on safety, precision, and flexibility. It gives us confidence to know that we have a partner who understands our needs and delivers in line with our high HSE standards. Thank you for a solid partnership – we look forward to continuing it.”

This relationship is built on shared values. As Matthias De Weerdt, Key Account Manager at Sarens in Norway, explains, “Norsea and Sarens share a common working culture: we are both service-driven, quality-focused, and flexible. We fix things when it matters most, and that’s what our end clients count on.”

The team works closely together on-site, supported by Sarens’ in-house office at Stordbase, which enables short mobilisation times ranging from 48 hours to two weeks depending on operational needs.

In one recent operation, Sarens transported a 400-tonne offshore cable reel using the K24ST SPMT on NorSea’s premises further proof of the precision and efficiency of this partnership in action.

From engineering and fast-track mobilisation to execution under tight timelines, the Sarens–NorSea collaboration is not just about moving heavy loads, it’s about moving forward together with trust, speed, and shared purpose.
