Loading of the first batch of the New Nissan Magnite in Ennore Port
Recently, we loaded the first batch of the New Nissan Magnite in Ennore Port onboard our Höegh Aurora, kicking off a new and prolonged collaboration with Nissan Motor India Private Limited.
Mission: Supporting Nissan Motor India in exporting Magnites and their other innovative, reliable, and technologically advanced Nissan models to countries worldwide.
We are proud to be partnering with a company so focused on safety, performance, and sustainability. And we look forward to taking our collaboration to the next level!
Our Chief Sales Officer, Oskar Orstadius, is delighted:
“This partnership is an important milestone in our efforts to build a solid and long-term contract backlog and support strategically important customers. We want to build the closest partnerships in the industry, ensuring we service our loyal customers to the fullest.”
Sebjørn Dahl, our Chief Operations Officer, is thrilled by the prospects:
“At Höegh Autoliners, we are committed to going the extra mile for our customers—a commitment that grows stronger the more and longer we know them. With our Aurora Class vessels—four already in commercial operation and eight more on the way—we are able to offer industry-leading deep-sea transportation on the world’s largest and most environmentally friendly car carriers.”
Manufactured at Nissan’s Alliance JV plant in Chennai, the New Nissan Magnite will be exported to 65+ international markets, including Left-Hand Drive regions, reinforcing India’s position as a global automotive hub.
By the way: Nissan tells us the New Magnite is a favourite among customers thanks to its unique combination of striking design, efficient performance, segment first features, comfortable interior, cutting-edge technology, and excellent value.
Are we the only ones sensing a striking resemblance to our Aurora Class?

Guide to shipping heavy equipment
Shipping heavy equipment brings several unique logistical challenges. Items such as agricultural machinery or construction equipment are not only large and heavy but rarely break down into smaller components. This makes the loading, transportation, and unloading a lot more complex, introducing potential safety concerns and costly handling procedures. To add to the complexities, heavy equipment shipping overseas is most commonly required for projects, which are often tied to strict deadlines and timelines. Therefore, it usually needs to reach its final destination on time, while any delays could introduce significant costs too.
