  • Our Marine and Projects team was recently sent a photo from one of our clients showcasing the considerable progress made on the West White Rose Project, currently under development offshore Canada, and we wanted to highlight the incredible work done by our team.

    Over 18 months, our Dartford team supported the initial FPSO upgrade in Belfast, with help from several of our overseas offices and strong support from Pentagon Transport. More recently, our Aberdeen team coordinated logistics for the mooring equipment now being used to tow the platform offshore.

    It’s a strong reminder that even when we’re just one piece of a bigger picture, everyone’s roles are important. The work we do every day helps bring major projects like this to fruition.

    Thank you to our colleagues, customers, and partners for your continued dedication, collaboration, and support in everything we do.

  • Congratulations to Ruth Gammack, INSIGHT Systems Manager at Pentagon Freight Services, who recently completed the 45th TCS London Marathon – one of the hottest on record, with temperatures hitting 22°C. Ruth was one of 56,640 finishers, helping set a new Guinness World Record for the most participants to complete a marathon! She crossed the finish line with a medal, a single blister, and a tremendous sense of achievement.

    Even more impressively, Ruth ran in support of Brain Tumour Research, UK, raising £3,187 and counting.

    Ruth had this to say after the event:

    “It was a fantastic day from start to finish. The crowds were amazing and really kept me going from about mile 15 to the end. I didn’t even need the curated marathon playlist my friends and family had been adding to all week. I’ve walked away relatively unscathed with only one blister and all my toenails intact.”

    What inspired you to take on this challenge?

    “It has always been on the bucket list, I applied on a whim not thinking I would get in.”

    Is this your first marathon, or have you run others before?

    “Yes, first marathon, probably last.”

    How was the training?

    “So far it went fine, I stayed injury free and got to eat whatever I wanted in between runs, which was a plus.”

    What was the biggest challenge?

    “I didn’t realise how time-consuming it would be, it really takes your life up running three to four times a week.”

    What were your goals for the marathon, just finishing, hitting a certain time, etc.?

    “Finishing it.”

    How did you celebrate after crossing the finish line?

    “A big glass of wine and a roast.”

    How many days off work did you need to recover?

    “As many as I could get.”

    What advice would you give to someone considering training for a marathon?

    “Be prepared to try on about 40 pairs of trainers to try and find the perfect pair.”

    Do you have a go-to song or playlist to keep you motivated?

    “Very much depends on the day, but a race playlist is in the works so any suggestions are welcome.”

    There’s still time to donate in support of Ruth’s fundraising efforts but get in quick as the donation window closes soon!

  • ​Earlier this month, Pentagon teams in both the UK and Norway organised the transportation of heavy lift cargo from Mekjarvik, Norway to Peterhead, Scotland on behalf of our UK-based client.

    The team completed:

    ✅ Vessel chartering
    ✅ Engineering for sea fastening calculations
    ✅ A detailed method statement
    ✅ Ships agency support in Stavanger and Peterhead
    ✅ Expert on-site coordination during loading

    From initial planning through to final discharge, the project was delivered safely on time and on budget.

    Well done team, excellent job!
