Dear readers! We present to your attention the final issue of the LOGISTICS journal in 2024. We have tried to make it rich and interesting. Today, many Russian companies operate under strict sanctions restrictions, which force them to reorient logistics flows. One of the possible solutions to this problem may be the Russia – Mongolia – China economic corridor. Details can be found in the article by Alexandra Kazunina.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the 11th issue of the LOGISTICS magazine, where you will find relevant materials and articles. And again, the focus is on international cooperation. An important event in this area was the International Trade Day 2024 Forum, held on November 7, 2024 in Moscow.
Dear readers! The tenth issue of LOGISTICS journal opens with a large article dedicated to the results of the BRICS Business Forum, held on October 18, 2024 in Moscow. Yulia Kislova, Director of Agency Market Guide LLC and publisher of LOGISTICS journal, attended the event and prepared an article where she paid special attention to international trade and logistical connectivity of the countries of the association. The details are in the room.
GTE logistics successfully transported a universal milling machine measuring 540 x 417 x 415cm and weighing 32 tons from Germany to our client's warehouse in St. Petersburg. The day before the scheduled start of transportation, it was discovered that a construction site had been set up for bridge reconstruction along our intended route through Germany potentially threatening our haulage project. Our oversize cargo would possibly be blocked due to its size.
GTE Logistics entered into negotiations with the construction company overseeing the bridge reconstruction. We successfully reached an agreement to dismantle the site for a day allowing the through-passage of our hauling rig. We selected a low-loader with air suspension to transport the milling machine from Germany: precision machinery requires careful handling.
GTE Logistics specialists obtained approval and filed for all the necessary permits to transport oversize cargo through Germany to the port of loading. The oversize cargo was transported under police escort with escort vehicles. The transit time to the port of Luebeck totalled three days.
The cargo was then transported on MAFI roll-trailers by ferry to St. Petersburg to the Port of Bronka. After completing the necessary customs clearance procedures in the port, the oversize cargo was transferred to a lorry and delivered to the consignee's warehouse on a special rig with rear-wheel steering because of the difficult entry onto the warehouse territory. The cargo was also safeguarded by a convoy of escort vehicles and the police.
