Nurminen Logistics delivers tanks to Belarus

Over the past few years, Finnish Nurminen Logistics has made several special deliveries to Belarus.A follow-on to these deliveries came in the summer of 2011, when the company delivered three large tanks from the Klaipeda harbour in Lithuania to the Kostjukovichi and Krichev cement factories.

The largest tanks delivered by Nurminen Logistics were 5 metres in diameter. The heaviest weighed 122 tonnes. Due to the strict axle weight restrictions in Lithuania and Belarus, a 4-axle truck and a 16-axle trailer were used for the job.

The trip along the freighting permit-compliant route from the loading place to the unloading place racked up a total of 1,300 km. Despite the many challenges encountered on the journey, the deliveries were made in even less time than scheduled. The professional knowhow of Nurminen Logistics’ drivers and their familiarity with the conditions in Lithuania and Belarus, as well as the equipment used – a perfect fit for the job – guaranteed that the delivery went smoothly. The success of this delivery in demanding conditions was also made possible through seamless cooperation with Nurminen’s partner SIA Ultima and the local authorities.
