Large and heavy turbines moved across North America

Nov 17, 2023

Ambercor Shipping, a member to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) for Canada, and an outstanding project cargo logistics specialized company, played its part by recently delivering three turbines to the project site of a Hydroelectric Dam under construction. Coming from Savona, Italy the turbines arrived in the US east coast port of Baltimore on 8 June. Ambercor took over the three 92-ton units, each measuring 10.7 x 2.8 x 2.6 meters, and prepared them for their safe and secure railway transport leg across North America. After a delay within the rail network, used for sending several other shipments around Baltimore, Ambercor managed to get things moving.

Marcel Hafemann, VP of Ambercor stated “Our experience ensured that the 4400 km railway leg for this transport was smooth – once it was going”

After 30 days of transit, the turbines arrived safely to the unloading and transit point near Fort St John from where clients arranged the forwarding to the job site C Dam.
