Start my entryCelebrating the people behind the heaviest moves
Every year, heavy lift and project cargo teams pull off operations that look impossible on paper: a 3,000-tonne reactor on a jack-up, a 90-metre blade through a mountain village, a whole factory moved across an ocean. Most of these feats stay hidden behind a press release.
The MOVE IT Awards put them in the spotlight. Cranes, transport companies, freight forwarders, engineers, ports and manufacturers can enter the projects they are proudest of. Our editors and an independent panel of industry experts select the finalists, then the whole community votes.
The winners get the cover treatment in MOVE IT Magazine, a trophy, a winner’s logo for their communication and a story told to 120,000 professionals in print, online, in the newsletter and in the MOVE IT app.
“Our industry builds the world’s energy, infrastructure and industry, one heavy move at a time. These awards are our way of saying thank you, and of showing everyone what our teams can do.”
