The last stage of the joint project of Zaporizhstal Plant and Mammoet, a Dutch company, with the active participation of JSSC Ukrrichflot was completed in May 2017. A mega crane of 143 m high, weighing 2,000 tons, with a carrying capacity of 1,600 tons was involved in the reconstruction of the third blast furnace at 'Zaporizhstal'. The delivery of this crane from Odesa to Zaporizhzhya River Port and back from the ZRP to Odesa, on commission from Crane Ukraine, the agent of Mammoet in Ukraine, was performed by Ukrrichflot.

All the components of the crane, placed in 96 20-feet and 40-feet containers, were transported by Ukrrichflot in one voyage. The total weight of containers was 3100 tons. The cargo is a specific one, with special requirements for delicate and careful transportation.

The unique capabilities of Ukrrichflot as a carrier of cargoes via river made it possible to replace a caravan of 50 vehicles, which would have to make 2 trips each, with a one-way container ship. And the term of transportation was 3 times reduced in comparison with the estimated. The most important advantages of delivery over water remain the environmental friendliness, economy, simplicity, and efficiency.

The exclusive project for the transportation of a specific oversized cargo was successfully completed. The experience gained by Ukrrichflot allows the Company to develop and implement complex logistics projects when working with other customers, offering them the most favorable conditions in the freight market.
