A team of Volga-Dnepr Airlines’
experts in Ulyanovsk, Russia and London Stansted combined their expertise to
expedite an urgent shipment of oil production equipment from Scotland to
Turkey.
Moving the 35-ton cargo onboard one
of its IL-76TD- in Istanbul. 90VD freighters took just three days from the
initial customer enquiry to delivery of the shipment
“After receiving an urgent customer
request, our engineers in Ulyanovsk developed a load plan and multi-purpose
shipping cradle to load the cargo of 19-metre pipes and the manufacturing of
the cradle was organised by our Stansted team. Whilst this was in progress,
Volga-Dnepr’s Engineering and Logistics Center made all the arrangements to
rent cranes for the loading as well as a trailer to deliver the pipes to
Prestwick Airport. Extra loading equipment was also delivered from Leipzig,
Germany, especially for this flight. Despite a strong 20mph wind in Prestwick
on the day of the loading, the technical crew of the aircraft completed the
hardest part of the project by promptly building up the loading complex on the
trailer and in the aircraft, fixing the pipes in the cradle and then lifting
them into the cargo hold,” said Huseyn Mammadli, Logistics Executive, ELC,
Volga-Dnepr Group.
The oil production equipment was
delivered on behalf of the DHL Global Forwarding company to Istanbul’s Sabiha
Gökçen International Airport. It will be used in exploration and drilling
projects looking for new oil and gas fields on the Black Sea shelf in Turkey.
