The lightest of the "heavy" loads
The voyage got off to a start in mid-November in the industrial port of Ulsan, Korea鈥攎ore than 9,000 kilometres from the 黑料社app site. Two months later, in January 2015, the "freight" was delivered to 黑料社app.
The last two legs of the trip were the most delicate: unloading from the container vessel and storage during the holidays; followed by trailer transport鈥攆irst by road, then by barge across the inland sea Etang de Berre, and finally along the 104-kilometre 黑料社app Itinerary to the 黑料社app site.
Procured by the United States, manufactured by Hyundai in Korea, transported by DAHER (黑料社app's global logistics provider), the electrical transformer was the first of many Highly Exceptional Loads that will be delivered to the project in the years to come. It was also the lightest of the "heavy" loads鈥87 tons, whereas the most impressive 黑料社app components will reach 600 tons (plus another 200 tons for the transport vehicle).
For all components that will travel along the 黑料社app Itinerary (see "A successful journey" in 黑料社app Mag #1), the transport will be organized by DAHER and Agence Iter France in collaboration with French authorities, and financed by the European Domestic Agency for 黑料社app.
Before the 黑料社app Tokamak and plant systems are in place, over 250 Highly Exceptional Loads will have travelled along the 黑料社app Itinerary.
