Logwin masters XXL transportation by inland vessel

Logwin ships special tank from Germany to Romania
 

The international logistics service provider Logwin transported a special 13-tonne tank for the Hanau plant engineers of Passavant Roediger by barge from Regensburg to Cernavoda in Romania. The heavy load covered a total distance of 2,100 kilometers on the Danube. The destination was a power station in Cernavoda, where the tank is used for the temporary storage of completely desalinated water.

The transportation began in the Port of Regensburg on 10 July 2009. The heavy freight piece passed through a total of eight countries on its 13-day river journey. In Cernavoda, the consignment had to be transshipped onto a different means of floating transport, namely a flat-bed trailer on a pontoon. Propelled by a pusher barge, the tank covered around another 1.5 kilometers on the Danube–Black Sea Canal. The flat-bed trailer finally reached the river bank via a slipway, the so-called Danube ramp. On the way to its final destination, the the seven-meter wide and 17-meter long vehicle combination had to cross under two power lines and a telephone line.
