HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Drivers, be on the lookout for two massive crates being moved through Houston this weekend. The two large crates carrying three sections of a drilling ship are scheduled to be transported from northwest Houston to the Bayport Cruise Terminal beginning Friday night. The journey is expected to take four nights to complete. The biggest crate is measured at 135 feet long, 27 feet high and 24 feet wide. The transport requires more than 30 state troopers and 20 bucket trucks. Along the way, the caravan should block traffic, move power lines and temporarily relocate some traffic signs. The crates contain three sections of a drilling ship ordered by Samsung Heavy Industries. As for the timing, the move is set to start at 7 p.m. Friday at W-Industries. The caravan should arrive in Sugar Land, the first stop, around 5 a.m. Saturday. There is a chance of temporary power loss in some neighborhoods, since crews have to adjust or relocate power lines to accommodate the big haul. Upon arrival at the Bayport Cruise Terminal, the crates are expected to be loaded onto a ship headed for South Korea for a month-long journey.
