DUE to arrive in Helsinki. Finland, today is this MAT Transport TIR semitrailer (right) carrying a
wire-drawing machine destined for Dalsbruk in Finland. The trailer, photographed at MAT's Barking depot last week, left Harwich at the week-end on the Wallanius roll-on/roll-off ferry "Porgy ".
From Bremerhaven a tractive unit of MAT's German counterpart, Rohlig, towed it to Travemunde (near Lubeck) for embarkation on a Baltic roll-on/roll-off ferry to Helsinki.
The last leg of the journey from Helsinki is due to be undertaken by MAT's Finnish agent, Polar Express.
The tractive unit in the photograph is a brand new Guy Invincible, with a Cummins engine, which has recently been delivered ,and is not yet painted in MAT livery.
