Antonov Airlines, in collaboration with Rolf Riedl, has achieved a remarkable feat by successfully transporting a power supply skid from Tekirdag, Turkey, to Hamburg, Germany, aboard one of its AN-124-100-150 aircraft. The cargo, a prefabricated sub-station known as an E-House, was essential for the high-priority project of establishing Germany’s first LNG terminal, providing an independent and low-emission energy supply system.
The transportation of the E-House was no small feat, as it had to be transported in a container measuring 19.00 meters in length, 4.24 meters in width, and 4.01 meters in height, specifically designed by Siemens Energy. Antonov Airlines and Rolf Riedl successfully overcame this challenging task, ensuring the safe and timely delivery of the vital equipment.
“A floating LNG terminal was scheduled to go into operation in Elbe port at the beginning of 2023 to ensure uninterrupted gas supply to Germany so that German households are warm and cozy. As the world’s leading operator of the AN-124-100 aircraft, ANTONOV Airlines has necessary experience and capabilities to handle such complex and time-sensitive operations. We grateful to Rolf Riedl for entrusting with the important task of transporting the equipment and look forward to continuing to provide excellent service in the future,” said Volodymyr Goncharov , Commercial Executive, Antonov Airlines.
