Cargo Logistics, A Natural

CARGO LOGISTICS, A NATURAL!

Now we're getting down to business: cargo logistics in hard-to-reach places, like this illustration of a wind farm delivery in a mountainous region. Unexpectedly, an American competitor and a French company called Flying Whales are sharing this new market. The French company has recently received the backing of 12 million euros from the government and financial sector. Both adhere to the same creed: point-to-point air cargo transportation with live 60-ton loading and unloading of large or awkward items. The demand for affordable, sustainable transportation to remote locations is growing as the market for renewable energy does so quickly.

For sustainable special freight transportation in populated or isolated places, civil engineering and construction companies must overcome enormous obstacles. For example, given that the logistics of providing humanitarian relief frequently present a significant problem, it can aid in maximizing operations for significant volumes like in this example below – the drop of three containers with a total of 60 tons of medical aid and food essentials.

This thanks to the huge size of the transport, some 200 meters long and 50 meters high.

Modular hospitals that are erected on location after being delivered by truck have long been a concept. The innovation is the 90m x 7m x 5m hospital that is hauled and delivered in one piece using winches and the hold. Without touching down, deliveries are made while hovering.
