Tuscor Lloyds has handled the shipment of a 137-ton recovery boiler from Spain to Mexico.

The cargo consisted of five breakbulk pieces and two 40-foot open top containers. The pieces were collected in Madrid and Toledo, GPLN said in a statement on behalf of its Barcelona-based member. The cargo was transported by road to the Port of Bilbao, a distance of about 414 kilometers.

Upon arrival at the Port of Bilbao, the cargo was taken to the quay for loading onto a multipurpose vessel. The heaviest pieces, weighing over 46 tons, were lifted onto the ship using a heavy-lift crane and secured with heavy-duty ratchet straps, steel chains and wooden-steel wedges.

The voyage to the Port of Altamira took 30 days. The cargo was unloaded onto low-loader trailers for the final leg of the transport to Monterrey, covering some 1,194 kilometers.
