Ambercor works in cooperation with Fioravanti SRL on Canada movement
In a close concerted operation and cooperation between Ambercor Shipping, Canada and Fioravanti SRL, Italy, both members to the Worldwide Project Consortium (WWPC) for their respective countries, a heavy transformer was moved again through Canada.
The same transformer was imported from Italy to Canada in 2022 and required repair and maintenance in Ontario, Canada.
A spokesperson for Ambercor Shipping stated: “We had to arrange safe and timely transportation overland and overcame several obstacles as per following:Trafo was supposed to be transloaded and transported in January but was delayed due to road ban season; Finally was able to get the go ahead to move this transformer beginning of June 2023; The Ambercor team was present in Trail BC for the loading of the transformer onto our partner carriers Perimeter trailer; Loading of the trailer was a success and ran smoothly and the transformer was lashed down and secured for transport; Our partner carrier tried multiple options to get their trailer to move in Ontario, but due to construction season, all permit applications were rejected by local authority; We came up with the solution to transload this transformer from the perimeter trailer onto a different trailer – a 11 axle mini deck combo right before the Ontario (ON) border in order to reduce the width and get approved permits; The trafo was successfully transloaded from the perimeter trailer onto the 11 axle mini deck using a crane lift right before the ON border; Delivered to consignee successfully and is now being inspected and potentially repaired; We are now waiting for the greenlight to start processing permits for the delivery back to Trail, BC”
