Kuebler Spedition moves very high oil rig components through German city
KUEBLER Spedition, a member to the Cargo Equipment Experts (CEE) network in Germany, has successfully moved three modular tanks 7.3 metres tall through the German city of Saarbruecken. The modules formed part of a South Korean oilrig that is under construction.
Weighting up to 122 tons per piece the tank-modules were transported by special trailers from Dudweiler to Saarbrucken Port, where they were loaded onto two chartered Mosel River vessels.
Kuebler's road transport had to maneuver a considerable distance against normal traffic direction. Twice the security rails on the roads had to be crossed, a great number of traffic lights had to be dismantled and a railway tunnel with only 10 centimetres air draft had to be cleared to move the load safely and on time, a said a CEE statement.
