ow that's what I call heavy haulage. Securicor 2:1 subsidiary Scottish Express International has just shipped a desalination plant from Rotterdam to Indonesia—at 140 tonnes and 740m3 the largest freight assignment it has undertaken. The journey began by road, through Eastern France, to a barge at Strasbourg where it was floated down the Rhine for nine days. It was then lifted by crane on to a ship for its 19-day voyage to Singapore. The journey from Singapore to Indonesia was completed by transshipping to another barge. Bingo. And what exactly does a desalination plant do, I hear you ask? It purifies seawater into fresh water. Cheers!
