This past January, Bansard International successfully organised and carried out the exceptional transport of a titanium-built machining centre from the French city of Roissy-en-France to Mghira, Tunisia. Thanks to the quality supervision of Bansard Tunisia, this very special cargo has safely travelled between the two countries. Figeac Aero, major player in the field of aeronautics subcontracting, entrusted Bansard Group for the completion of this complicated task within such a tight schedule.
Throwback on a very technical operation. The machine being very large and very heavy (about 30 tons), its transport was a true endeavour. It took 3 full days to load and 3 more to move this titanium-built giant from Roissy-en-France all the way down to Marseille through an approved transport route. The machine was enclosed in a vacuum-packed, heat-sealed bag within its maritime container according to standard SEI 4. In addition to this, the angles of the container’s panels were reinforced with metal sheets to ensure a more solid structure, resulting in a safer shipment.
The transfer from Paris to Marseille was carried out with a tank transporter. In Marseille, both transshipment and parking were carried out undercover in closed sheds. As for the maritime transport part, the crate was loaded on a MAFI trailer and travelled in the ship’s lay-by.
The operation was carried out successfully. Big thanks and congratulations to the operating teams, to our partners and most notably to Bansard International Tunisia !
