"Likely to make the Guinness Book of World Records"
Pantos Logistics Airlifts Ultra-large Power Generator Weighing 186 tons
- Heaviest freight ever to be transported by plane honors Korea’s logistics industry -
Pantos Logistics, Korea’s largest logistics company (CEO Yeo Sung-koo), successfully transported by plane an ultra-large gas turbine power generator weighing 186 tons from Germany to Armenia on August 12 (local time).
The freight transport project, ordered by GS Engineering and Construction, entailed the delivery of the 170MW-class gas turbine power generator for a combined cycle power plant, from Hahn Airport in Frankfurt, Germany to Zvartnots Airport in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. An Antonov An-255, a large freight aircraft, was used to execute the project, which is set to make the Guinness Book of World Records as the airlifting of the heaviest freight ever.
The gas turbine power generator will be installed at the 205 MW-class combined cycle general power plant, which GS Engineering and Construction is building at Yerevan. The plant, the largest in scale in any of the Common Wealth of Independence countries, will be completed in April 2010. Armenia is an inland country that has no direct access to the ocean, as it sits on a high plateau some 900 meters above sea level. Hence, transportation via sea is impossible, while overland delivery is also hampered by numerous obstacles. As a result, the country has experienced difficulty in introducing and installing large-size power generators.
A Pantos Logistics official said, “The successful airborne delivery of the mega-size power generator has allowed the company to win global recognition for its outstanding know-how in the delivery of overweight freight, and its excellence in logistics services. We will continue to expand our freight transport projects globally overland, by ocean and by air.”
