The cargo is being transported from Romania to Rotterdam. In total 16 pieces will be moved. Each will weigh 15 tonnes and be 4.2 metres tall and 5.02 m in diameter. The cargo will be moved over a timescale of a month on low loaders. Each piece will be loaded and unloaded using an overhead crane, a spokesperson said.
The cargo requires multiple permits to travel the 3,000 km and will be accompanied by police escort.
