Bringing it all home

22 Dec 2014

The ITER Itinerary is tested a second time in 2014, including the maritime leg of the journey to the ITER site. In the picture, the 33-metre-long customized trailer and its mock load of concrete blocks (800 tonnes) is transported by barge along the Canal de Caronte, which connects the Mediterranean and the inland sea Etang de Berre.

On 1 April the test convoy begins its journey in the Mediterranean town of Fos-sur-Mer. If all goes according to plan it will reach the ITER site in four nights, after travelling along the 104-kilometres of the Itinerary with a full escort of police officers, technical personnel and support vehicles.
