“The shipping deadline was strict- by September 15, 2016 as this was the letter of credit closing date,” Alexander Kovalev, ACEX Estonia manager comments. “Still, the Consignee responsible for the sea freight could not choose the vessel type and consequently we could not plan the loading process. A 300 – ton crane lease was arranged for the column loading. Road transportation was accomplished in the nighttime as the column blocked two strips on the road because of its width and it was necessary to take to pieces all the road signs and other constructions preventing the cargo journey. The difficulties in Tallinn highway junction where the electricity transmission lines detained the truck traffic.”
Transportation to the port of Paldiski took 3 nights. Having arrived to the port the specialists fixed the accessory mounting for the column base according to the producers’ scheme. The truck reloading and loading to the ship took about 5 hours and on September 16 morning the cargo arrived to the port of Saint Petersburg.
