At the port, a 500-tonne mobile crane loaded the toaster and cases on board the vessel, Vega, which transported the shipment to the Russian river port of Rostov-on-Don. Here the toaster was discharged by a 100-tonne port crane and a 150-tonne mobile railway crane.
From Rostov-on-Don the cargo was delivered by road to Alexeyevka on a modular multi-axle trailer, a 1,300 km journey which took six days to complete.
