For the transportation of 13 heavy duty iron ore and coke screeners to CST-Arcelor in Vitoria, a larger operation was set up.

Thirteen low-level lorries had to be found throughout Brazil. Not an easy task, as the transportation contractor has only a few and those were performing earthmoving machines transportation in places as far 2.000 km from São Paulo.

After about a week of searching and redirecting the lorries, the first five arrived and the screeners could be loaded onto their berthes. A trip of 1.100 km on very bad roads lies ahead, a three to four days trip.

Brazilian truck drivers deserve a special nomination for their endurance and skills.
