Heavy Lift Projects & Port Services, a UK-based heavy lift and transport company, is positioning itself as a key player in the maritime and project cargo sectors. With offices in the South East, North West, and Suffolk, the company specializes in a range of services including heavy lift and transport, breakbulk, and project cargo handling. They are also involved in the new power and energy storage projects that are gaining momentum in the region.

The company’s parent firm, Notus Contract Lifting, is a well-established name in the UK’s contract lifting industry. This connection brings credibility and expertise to Heavy Lift Projects & Port Services, enabling them to offer end-to-end solutions for clients. Liam McLoughlin, Co-owner and Managing Director, is optimistic about the company’s growth. He emphasized, “Our aim is to provide safer, smarter, and cost-effective solutions to our clients in the lifting, transport, and marine sectors. With the addition of our state-of-the-art storage facilities, we are able to offer an end-to-end solution to our customers.”
What makes this new venture particularly compelling is the experience the team brings. They have time-served expertise in executing complex projects, from transport to marine operations. Being backed by Notus Contract Lifting allows them to tap into a broader range of services, making them a trusted partner in the industry.
In McLoughlin’s words, “Our team comes with a wealth of time-served experience and has the skills to deliver complex lifting, transport, and marine projects… Being a subsidiary of a well-established company like Notus Contract Lifting… means we are entering the market with a trusted and well-established brand.”
The company’s reach goes beyond lifting and transport. Engaging with port principals across the UK and Ireland has allowed them to forge strong relationships and gather valuable data, which McLoughlin believes is essential for continuous improvement and delivering on scope.
Scott Mitchell, Managing Director of Notus Contract Lifting and newly appointed director of Heavy Lift Projects & Port Services, shared his enthusiasm for the new venture. “We are delighted to have Liam on board with this newest venture. Liam brings years of experience with heavy cranes and project management and will be instrumental in our growth plans.”
As the UK and Ireland see increasing activity in energy generation, storage, and infrastructure projects, Heavy Lift Projects & Port Services is well-positioned to become a go-to partner in the sector. Their ability to offer a start-to-complete service, including secure storage and final-mile delivery with installation capabilities, sets them apart in a competitive market.
