Vanguard, a firm specializing in heavy transport and rigging, headquartered in South Africa, has successfully completed the delivery and installation of a 360-tonne stator. The oversized cargo was transported from Wrocław, Poland, to the Matla power station located in South Africa. This comprehensive, end-to-end project commenced in September 2025 and was finalized in March 2026.
The project utilized a multimodal transportation strategy, beginning with the initial movement of the stator from its origin. While specific modes were not detailed, such a heavy and out-of-gauge shipment typically involves specialized road transport, potentially barge or rail for inland legs, and heavy-lift vessels for ocean transit.
