Mega Transports

The worlds largest radio telescope array has to be relocated in the inhospitable environment of the chelonian Atacama Desert in South America. The work involves moving extremely sensitive and valuable antennas at a 5,000-metre altitude.

The team faces winding country lanes, ramshackle bridges and an unexpected change of plan as its members try to take a 390-ton generator on a journey of 120km.

The Höegh Trapper, the largest car transporter in the world, which can convey 8,000 vehicles in its 71,000 square metre storage space. The autoliner also negotiates the bottleneck of the Panama Canal.

A wind farm - over 2,000 tons of highly sensitive and valuable cargo - needs to get from Europe to Taiwan in Asia using one of the world's largest heavy lift vessels. A team has only 37 days for loading in two ports and travelling once around half of the globe. To be able to transport the entire cargo, the crew even has to build another level altogether - in the middle of the deck.
