The transport route for this project, takes us from the port in Pointe Blanch via Philipsburg over Cole-bay hill with13% grades to Cay-bay.

Attached are a few pictures of our equipment hauling the same size load in St. Lucia.

Please note the capacity of our trailer with 210 metric tons on only seven (7) axle-lines.

Not to mention a singleprime-mover off-loading said cargo from a barge that cannot ballast because of limited depth at the ramp. However, the most striking is the steepgrade at that ramp.

If our full team / both equipment and operators make one mistake, the full load would push away the barge and land in the ocean behind.
