I saw this on an industry publication. The term "
specialized hauling" definitely applies here. Even though this is a waterborne tow, someones going to have to haul this once it hits shore.

UK's Sheringham Shoal goes offshore
Written by Richard High
The first foundation of the UK's Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm has now been installed, off the Norfolk coast by the heavy lift vessel
Svanen.
Over the next nine months,
Svanen will install the remaining 89 foundations ready for the mounting of two substations and 88 wind turbines.
The Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm is scheduled to start operations in 2011 and will provide enough electricity to power 220000 homes.

Image via Wikipedia...not actual coasterI stood there trying to figure out what was being hauled until finally I broke down and Asked. (very similar to asking for directions…you just don’t want to do it) Turns out this is a piece of a roller coaster rail. Of course it is. These theme parks don’t get there by accident, specialized hauling and heavy haul companies like East Coast have to move these monstrosities so they can be assembled on a job site.
