    I would have loved to be in the meeting where someone presented that the device cannot be directly delivered to its destination but has to take a 9000km detour. I guess that was not the plan from the start?

    The map shows the capacity of waterways. Down the Danube, across the Mediterranean and the ocean, up the Rhine, and only a few kilometers of road.

    Less roundabout, but the muon g-2 experiment magnet went from Brookhaven to Fermilab mostly by water (via the Mississippi)
