Photographer’s Note
Further yesterday's photo One unit is now resting on two railcars, while on board the ship they are preparing discharging the second unit. In preparation for the last portion of their voyage to the refinery located abt 120 km away, the Mammoet Company team have to be secured very well. Beside sitting on brackets, collars will also be added around them, in order to create a solid block. The last thing you want to have is these 455 mt cylinders rolling away in a curve.
In such case however, the convoy will be travelling at very slow speed up to destination. No TGV for this stuff. They do not want to have the railcars capsizing either in a curve.
As a WS , you will see another view taken later in the evening.
Cheers!
Robert

Hi Robert,
Great composition with a delicate tone under soft light.
Chosen a best position for this situation.
Excellent work!

In this picture the size of that pipe is obvious. I did not get it from yesterday's version.
Very nice subject handling here. Good to see work related pictures. And railway transportation is one of my interests.
Thanks!
