Nurminen Logistics has completed  a challenging special road transport in Finland from Pori to Nokia.

The cargo was the Silver Sky, the largest boat on inland waters in Finland, Cargo Equipment Experts said in a statement on behalf of its member. Silver Sky measured 30 meters long and 7 meters wide and was built in Turkey.

The transport began in early August at the Mäntyluoto harbor in Pori. The height of the 250-tonne transport was 8.3 meters. Special arrangements on the route from Mäntyluoto to Nokia were extensive, including cutting off of electricity in 70 places, taking down telephone lines and the detachment of electric lines from pylons along the way.

Nurminen transported the vessel to Nokia, a distance of about 124 kilometers, a trip that took place primarily at night.

The lake cruiser will soon begin its scheduled voyages, the first of which will be from Nokia to Tampere along Lake Pyhäjärvi. It has a maximum capacity of 250 and can seat 150 in its restaurant.
