May 24th 2004 A few weeks ago Unitrans International Corporation (UIC) together with our client planned, coordinated and successfully moved a large pressure vessel from California to Spain. This included not only arranging for ground transportation, special permits, heavylift cranes but also the chartering of an Antonov AN-124 cargo aircraft. The AN-124 was originally designed and built in the Soviet Union to ferry tanks to Afghanistan. It is now primarily used to move oversized cargo that cannot be moved by ocean. The pressure vessel was the highest ever piece loaded onto the AN-124 aircraft and weighed approximately 75 metric tons. Clearance from the top of the vessel to the aircraft roof was about 2 inches. Unitrans staff managed this project and successfully delivered the shipment on time. If you would like to know more about our experience in the handling of extraordinary shipments please call us at 310 410 7676 Photographs: Reactor on truck
