The team faces winding country lanes, ramshackle bridges and an unexpected change of plan as its members try to take a 390 tonne generator on a journey of 120km, before their permits expire.

Russia has some of the most extreme weather conditions in the world, especially in winter. Transporting one of the biggest bulldozers in the world, to gold mines in the Kolymar mountain range in eastern Russia is a major mission, through an inhospitable frozen landscape of snow covered mountain passes, temporary bridges and unpaved ice roads.

A wind farm - over 2,000 tons of highly sensitive and valuable cargo - needs to get from Europe to Taiwan in Asia using one of the world's largest heavy lift vessels. A team has only 37 days for loading in two ports and travelling once around half of the globe. To be able to transport the entire cargo, the crew even has to build another level altogether - in the middle of the deck.

The Höegh Trapper is the largest car transporter in the world. It can carry 8,000 vehicles in 71,000 square metres of storage space. One of the construction design factors was the need to negotiate the bottleneck of the Panama Canal.

Meyer Werft in Germany is one of the biggest shipbuilders in the world. But it's problem is as big as the ships it builds: the coast and sea are 50 kilometres away. From Papenburg, the only route to the North Sea leads via the shallow and narrow river Ems which is actually entirely unsuitable for conveying gigantic cruise ships. But still, every Meyer Werft ship has to negotiate this channel.

If a transporter needs to be transported, if 176 wheels aren't enough to carry its weight and if the load weighs twice as much as the transporter... Then it must be the mother of all mega transports! The setting: Canada. The cargo: an ultra-class dump truck. The heroes: tough men with delicate fingers and eagle eyes.

Transporting a ship by a ship - this becomes necessary when the super-rich want their super yacht available at a vacation paradise at the other end of the world, but do not want to sail it there themselves. That's when specialized companies like Sevenstar Yacht Transport come into play who take yachts across the oceans to the still so smallest islands or as a mass delivery to the Côte d'Azur.

When the first ship of the brand-new OOCL-fleet gets underway, more cargo is moved at one time than anywhere else in the world and ever before. The vessels are the largest ever ordered - 400 meters long and about as wide as a football field (58.8 meters). These ships will not only be able to load more cargo than ever, they will also be equipped with a number of high-class energy-saving systems.
