Overview
Everyone knows heavy haulage: large parts are transported on big trucks with yellow warning lights on streets. However, all that is "peanuts" compared to our "mega transports": heavier, larger, more complicated and more unusual. These require pinpoint planning, which can only take place with special safety precautions, and for which large teams plan months in advance before things are ready.

Overview
Meyer Werft in Germany is one of the biggest shipbuilders in the world. But it's problem is as big as the ships it builds: the coast and sea are 50 kilometres away. From Papenburg, the only route to the North Sea leads via the shallow and narrow river Ems which is actually entirely unsuitable for conveying gigantic cruise ships. But still, every Meyer Werft ship has to negotiate this channel.
