From dependable liner services in the Americas to global tramp, offshore, and ultra heavy lift projects, the Group’s new structure simplifies access and improves transparency across its global operations – uniting all services under one integrated team and a shared promise: Moving What Matters.
Under this alignment, SAL Heavy Lift, SAL Engineering, SAL Offshore, Intermarine, and Intermarine Bulk Carriers are now unified under the umbrella brand SAL. Intermarine becomes SAL Intermarine, while SAL Engineering continues as the Group’s dedicated in-house engineering unit. Together, they form a connected system built to ensure safe, on-time delivery of complex cargo.
This new, consolidated structure marks SAL’s evolution from a traditional heavy lift operator into a versatile multipurpose carrier – combining world-class heavy lift expertise with an expanded portfolio of maritime logistics solutions for cargo of all sizes.
Dr. Martin Harren, CEO of SAL and Harren Group, said: “Our customers face very different transport challenges. Some need scheduled liner reliability in the Americas, others global tramp flexibility or ultra heavy lift execution. By clearly structuring our services across SAL, SAL Intermarine, and SAL Engineering, we reduce complexity and ensure seamless service. Customers gain direct access to the right ships, skills, and speed – every time.”
SAL’s new structure unites its global services under one integrated brand:
- SAL leads global operations, specializing in heavy lift, ultra heavy lift, multipurpose, offshore, and bulk transport. It combines deep technical expertise with a growing, efficient fleet and a proven track record in complex, high-value cargo handling.
- SAL Intermarine focuses on dependable liner services in the Americas – offering regular routes across the Gulf, Atlantic, Caribbean, and Latin American markets, blending predictable schedules with agile, time-sensitive solutions for specialized and breakbulk cargo.
- SAL Engineering provides integrated project engineering – from feasibility studies and lifting plans to seafastening design and on-site supervision – de-risking complex transports end to end.
With a fleet of 80 vessels in operation and commercial management, SAL provides the expertise, clarity, and capacity to keep complex supply chains moving with speed, reliability, and cost efficiency.
Recent fleet additions – including the newbuild Orca Class heavy lift vessels, F700, F500, F360, and
D-Type ships – demonstrate the Group’s commitment to heavy lift and multipurpose shipping. Continued investments in deck carriers and an expanding bulk fleet will further broaden the company’s global logistics capabilities.
As a member of the JSI Alliance, SAL delivers coordinated global project coverage through trusted partners and access to high-spec tonnage.
Dr. Harren commented on SAL Intermarine’s new focus: “This evolution is about clarity and connection. Intermarine has always been rooted in reliability and relationships across the Americas. By becoming SAL Intermarine, we keep that spirit alive – while gaining the strength, scale, and resources of a truly global brand. Our customers can expect the same trusted team and service, now backed by even broader capabilities and reach.”
From modern heavy lift tonnage to digital planning tools and progressive safety practices, SAL continues to invest in innovation, reliability, and sustainability – building on its maritime heritage while shaping a forward-looking future, ready to keep Moving What Matters.
