As a project team we undertook detailed preparation, planning for this delicate move. Lashing was done on the transportation cradle as this is safe since no damage can extend to the fuselage. We adopted global recommended standards used and recommended by the manufacturer to lash move the helicopters. Accessories were packed in wooden boxes and securely lashed on 40ft flat rack container. The helicopters and accessories arrived into Durban in good order on 9th December 2018.
