Two of our employees, Maria Byskata and Aleksei Kumpulainen, serve as agents for Russian deck cargo ships carrying large and heavy modules from<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0Hamina\u00a0<\/span>to Kazakhstan. The modules are built in Korea, and shipped on ocean going vessels to<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0Hamina<\/span>. After handling and storage in<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0Hamina<\/span>, the modules are loaded on deck cargo ships and barges. The modules sail from Asia to Finland, and then from Finland to Kazakhstan, more than 5000 kilometres.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\">The river barges and deck cargo ships are a part of a massive project. Port of<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0Hamina<\/span>Kotka has invested millions to improve the infrastructure and services in<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0Hamina<\/span>. Sarens Group N.V., the main logistics coordinator of the project, have brought around 150 specialists to<span class=\"apple-converted-space\">\u00a0Hamina<\/span>, and invested around 46 milllion euros to make the shipments possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN\">\u201cIt is extremely interesting to be involved in this huge project. The sheer size of the modules is impressive\u201d, says Maria Byskata, head of agency at Meriaura. \u201cDue to expertise with Meriaura\u2019s own deck carriers and demanding project cargoes, we understand the needs of these special ships and their crew. As we also run our own fleet, we know the added value a good ship agent can bring for a customer. And the crews onboard appreciate a lot that we both speak fluent Russian.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1022\" src=\"https:\/\/meriaura.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/agentti.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meriaura.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/agentti.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/meriaura.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/agentti-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/meriaura.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/agentti-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/meriaura.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/agentti-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meriaura opened an office in\u00a0Hamina\u00a0earlier this summer.
