Our Solution

To ensure the successful execution of the project, BGT Group developed a comprehensive multimodal transport solution.

• carried out crane-assisted transshipment onto broad-gauge railway wagons for onward rail transport;
• designed and obtained approval for customised cargo loading and securing plans in cooperation with Belarusian Railways;
• manufactured bespoke wooden support structures for each drum to maximise stability and protect the cargo throughout the journey;
• assumed full responsibility for transport documentation, route approvals, and 24/7 shipment monitoring.
