FESCO delivered 8 oversized mining excavators from Russia to India
The delivery of the batch took one year and a half as the production process continued
FESCO Transportation Group has completed the delivery of eight oversized mining excavators and their spare parts from Russia to India. The weight of one set of equipment exceeded 9 thousand tonnes. It took about 90 days to deliver one excavation in a disassembled form while the delivery of the entire batch took one year and a half as the production process continued, from March 2022 until July 2023, the Group says.
A special intermodal scheme of the delivery was developed for the project. It included the equipment transportation from the town of Kolpino to the port of Saint-Petersburg, loading onto ships and transportation to the Indian port of Calcutta where the cargo was reloaded onto modular trailers and transported to coal mines 700 km off Calcutta.
The Group is currently working with the Russian machine-building plant on the development of a new delivery project involving a new route.
