The project involved more than 5 months of comprehensive logistics planning and engineering studies. This transport included four power transformers, each with a unit weight of 354 Mtons, and four shunt reactors with a unit weight of 135 Mtons each. The total project consisted of over +3250 Frt.
Logistics challenge
The initial challenge was related to the storage area constraint at the manufacturer’s factory. To overcome this issue, COLI’s Istanbul team provided a designated warehouse solution with suitable ground bearing capacity and route feasibility in order to ensure safe intermediate deliveries from the factory. The second challenge was getting the cargoes from the warehouse to the port of loading, which required precise coordination with road authorities and loadport management.
Permits and protocols
During the entire planning period, all necessary permit applications and road protocols were obtained and a thorough logistics plan was shared to successfully keep all involved parties on the same wavelength. Arranging the permit applications for this exceptional load transport was a complex project in itself - on top of the engineering studies, calculations and, of course, the transportations themselves.
Equipment
With, amongst others, 140 hydraulic axle lines, a girder bridge configuration, 20 SPMT axle lines, a 1,000 Mton capacity gantry crane, and +70 trailers being utilized throughout the project period, it was satisfying to see that all requirements were met (and all obstacles were overcome) to satisfaction, not in the least because of the professional collaboration between Coli’s team, the subcontractors and other stakeholders.
After safely arriving to port of loading and handling continuous vessel loading operations for four days , all cargoes were smoothly delivered to Gydnia, Poland.

Comark’s escort drivers work hard to keep every special load safe on the road. They handle tricky routes, work late-night shifts, and always go the extra mile to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Silvasti was responsible for the road transports in Finland, including route survey, route modifications, transport permits and the transport itself.
Transport of such magnitude requires a lot of demanding planning work, which wouldn’t have been possible without the world class cooperation with their client Andritz.
