April 25 - Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics Abnormal Load Services (WWL ALS) has arranged the transportation of two 15-tonne tanks from the West Midlands to Hull in the UK.
The tanks, each of which had the dimensions 14 m x 4.6 m x 4.6 m, were transported to Hull on beam trailers. Each truck was accompanied by an escort vehicle due to the size of the cargo.
