Two transformers of 105 tons each were offloaded from rail carriers at berth N9 of JSC Commercial Seaport of Vladivostok (CPV) for further shipment to the port of Magadan, the CPV’s press service reported.
The heavy-lift cargo was handled by two gantry cranes Gottwald in tandem, each with lifting capacity of 63 tons. The operation took about 40 minutes.
The imported transformers were delivered to the CPV by rail from St. Petersburg. The heavy equipment will be loaded to a specialized vessel, equipped with lifting equipment to work with the heavyweights, and transported to the port of Magadan. The final destination of delivery is Ust-Srednekan, the construction site of Ust-Srednekanskaya hydropower station.

In September CPV handled a 170-ton autoclave for processing iron ore from a ship onto a rail carrier.
