Moving a 50-tonne vessel from Jämsä to Lake Saimaa

We planned and carried out the road transport of a 50-tonne vessel from Olkkola shipyard in Jämsä to the Saimaa lake system, including two cranes for unloading and launching.

Balanced Logistics transported a vessel from Olkkola shipyard in Jämsä to the waters of Lake Saimaa.

  • Cargo: vessel, total weight 50 tonnes
  • Dimensions: 19.5 × 4.45 × 7 metres (length × width × height)
  • Route: Olkkola shipyard, Jämsä → Lake Saimaa, by road
  • Equipment: low-loader trailer and two cranes for unloading and launching

The project was planned for several months: the route, the oversize transport permits, the escort and the cranes at the launch site all had to fit together. The transport was completed successfully.

Oversize and heavy cargo needs early planning. If you have a similar project, send us the dimensions, weight and the pick-up and delivery places, and we will plan the route and equipment.
