specialised heavy lift vessel fleet and technical marine solutions alongside Aprojects’ project cargo coordination. Together we’re able to streamline supply chains involving extreme oversize modules, critical components, and high-risk cargo. “In this partnership we have a dedicated vessel capacity where KCTC will allocate priority tonnage including semi-submersible and heavy lift geared vessels matched also with integrated project teams from Aprojects where joint engineering and project management teams will ensure a seamless end-to-end execution from port or construction yards to final site delivery.” Sarens has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with three companies – logistics service provider CMS, machine skates and hydraulic toe-jacks specialist HTSD, and air, sea, and road transportation company Tagi Logistics, to establish a strategic partnership designed to advance logistics, heavy transportation, and installation solutions in Cambodia. The collaboration aims to


support key sectors such as wind energy, LNG, oil and gas, and infrastructure, aligning with Cambodia’s industrial development and energy transition goals. Through this partnership Sarens and its allies plan to combine their expertise to deliver transport solutions tailored to the region’s evolving needs. “This partnership is not just about combining capabilities,” says Aseem Bhateja, regional director for Sarens in Southeast Asia, “it is about creating a seamless and integrated approach to support Cambodia’s ambitious energy transition and infrastructure development. Together, we will bring unparalleled expertise to major wind energy projects while expanding our services across LNG, oil and gas, onshore plants, and infrastructure sectors.”
