DAKO Worldwide Transport recently wrapped up a complex project - delivering oversized brewery equipment from Germany and China for a plant expansion in Paraguay.

The main components were 14 brewery tanks, with unit weights of up to 42tn and dimensions of 23.2 x 7.3 x 8.8m. The size of two city buses back-to-back and nearly as tall as a three-story building!

The tanks sailed from Shanghai in China to Montevideo in Uruguay before being discharged directly onto a barge for the 1,075km river journey up the Río Paraná and Río Paraguay, navigating through shifting water levels.

Due to the exceptional dimensions of the tanks, the barges were discharged very close to the jobsite, significantly shortening the transport route via public roads and minimising major civil works.

"South America always tests experience and local knowledge. But backed by decades of successful DAP deliveries, we once again proved our strength in managing complex turn-key projects."
