Talleyrand Marine Terminal Welcomes Heavy Lift Cargo
11.9.2012
JAXPORT and its partners unloaded two unusually large pieces of equipment weighing a combined 300 tons from a ship onto a specially designed truck this morning at the Talleyrand Marine Terminal. The cargo originated in Sweden and arrived in Jacksonville following 17 days at sea.
The movement of the 138-ton power plant generator and 120-ton turbine was accomplished by JAXPORT’s Seaonus Stevedoring and Spliethoff Worldwide Ocean Transport.
McTyre Trucking will transport the two large components separately on a unique 36-axle, 300 foot long trailer---one of only six of its kind in the nation--- specifically designed to handle such heavy lift cargo. The components are headed to a power plant in Gainesville, Florida.
