CUSTOMS CLEARANCE AND TRANSPORTATION OF GOLD MINING EQUIPMENT
November 2018. Customs clearance and transportation of gold mining equipment for FLSmidth (BRANCH OF FLS NELSON RUS, FLSMIDTH RUS).
Route: Vladivostok – Nikolaevsk-on-Amur.
Destination: a gold mine.
During the summer, cargo transportations across the Amur River are done with a tow boat, in wintertime – over ice road. In November, ice on the river begins to freeze up. In order to reduce the delivery time and save about 50% of the client's costs on cargo transportation across the river, we have decided to move the equipment from the truck to a warehouse for three days and wait till lightweight vehicles are permitted to travel over the ice. Thus, we managed to cut the costs for almost a half. And the equipment arrived ahead of the agreed schedule.
