Globalink moves 15 tonnes of gas pipeline gear from Ukraine to Kazakhstan
GLOBALINK's projects division has successfully transported compressor equipment, weighing 15,000 tonnes, from the ports of Ilichevsk in Ukraine and Astrakhan in Russia to Almaty, Kazakhstan for a gas pipeline project.
This involved the handling of 350 truckloads of over-dimensional cargo, said the Globalink statement.
The over-sized shipment required non-standard special equipment for loading, unloading, and the haulage itself direct to the project site. At ports the equipment - the biggest piece being 4.5 metres high - was reloaded from vessels onto trucks with floating cranes and heavy duty trawls, reported American Journal of Transportation.
The logistics provider required road permits and had to organise a military escort for the safe transportation of the cargo to its final destination, as well as customs clearance in Almaty.
