The company “KMZ Cargo” (part of the military-industrial holding “Kingisepp Machine-Building Plant”) began preparations to send a cargo weighing a total of 5000 tons from Vladivostok. At first glance, everything seems simple, but the route and conditions make this project special.
The route will consist of two parts. The first stage will pass through the Sea of Japan, the Tatar Strait, and end in Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, where part of the cargo will be transferred to a barge that will deliver it to Udinsk. The vessel with the remaining cargo will proceed through the Pacific and the Arctic Oceans to the port of Tiksi. There, the cargo will also be unloaded onto a barge that will transport it along the Lena and Vitim rivers to the final point — the port of Bodaybo. The total length of the route will be over ten thousand kilometers.
From a logistics perspective, this project has a number of challenges. One of them is the weather conditions. Navigation periods differ on each section of the route, so it is important to accurately calculate the timing of each stage of delivery. Otherwise, the cargo may remain at an intermediate point due to ice conditions or fairway closure. Another difficulty lies in the lack of necessary port equipment, such as cranes with the required lifting capacity or a suitable berth wall. Specialists at KMZ Cargo fully understand all the peculiarities of working under such circumstances and know how to find solutions to the problems they face. For example, in this case, the transfer of cargo from the ship to the barge was decided to be carried out using a crane vessel, and a special employee was appointed to control the loading and unloading operations.
Cargo transportation by the “river-sea” scheme is one of the key directions of “KMZ Cargo.” At the same time, the company provides a full range of transport and logistics services and will find a way to deliver cargo to any point in Russia and the world. By contacting “KMZ Cargo,” you can be confident that your cargo will be delivered to its destination!
