Bulgarian GPLN member Unishipping International recently moved a hydraulic turbine rotor from Russe, the largest Bulgarian city on the Danube, across the European continent to the Antwerp, Belgium, area. The cargo was a total of one piece weighing 74,163 kgs and having a volume of 74.55 m3. The maximum dimensions: 6.34 x 3.51 x 3.35 m
The carrier departed timely and as it entered the next transfer point the weather became increasingly worse. BDG could not fly the cargo direct into Yellowknife due to the fact that this is not an international customs port. Thus, they had the cargo landed in Winnipeg for customs clearance where they had people on the ground waiting. The Canadian broker cleared the goods at 01:00 am, waited for de-icing and was back in the air ASAP. Cargo arrived into Yellowknife at 04:00 and was signed off at 06:00 on the Sunday morning.
At the end of the day this was another job well done for George Belev and crew and they have the photos to prove it!
