Altius’ Extensive Experience Leads to A Seamless Transport of Four Steam Separators from Spain to Rotterdam
April 24, 2023
A proud member of the Project Logistics Alliance representing Argentina, Bolivia, and Spain, Altius S.A. has completed the first phase of an intermodal transport consisting of four steam separators for a nuclear power plant in France. Each of these separators weighed 20 tons and measured 4.9 x 4.9 x 5.2 meters in size.

The transportation's initial phase spanned two nights, commencing with a road trip to the port of Santander. The height of the convoy, which totaled 5.82 meters and comprised trailers, presented a substantial obstacle. To overcome this issue, Altius established a comprehensive coordination strategy that involved continuous trailer leveling to ensure a secure journey through traffic lights, signs, cables, and bridges.
Next, the four equipment pieces were placed on roll trailers and loaded onto a Ro-Ro ship that sailed to Rotterdam. This marked the beginning of the second phase of the operation, during which the cargo was transported via a fluvial barge to France, then by road for almost 400 km to the final destination.
This project showcased Altius' extensive experience and impressive ability to create innovative solutions for complex shipments. We extend our congratulations to the Altius team for this impressive achievement!
