Logistika-Terminal is fully functional

A fire broke out in hangar at container terminal in Shushary (Leningrad oblast) at night on December 3, 2019. The fire started in warehouse No. 1 and didn’t impact other buildings. Fire has been localized by 08.00 a.m. The container terminal is fully functional. There are no casualties.

A reach stacker driver discovered fumigation at temporary warehouse No. 1 at 02.05 a.m. on the 3rd of December, 2019. The information has been immediately forwarded to EMERCOM and firemen have  been called out. The warehouse was equipped with fire-fighting system which according to preliminary facts was activated immediately.

Nevertheless the warehouse with approximately 4 000 tons of rubber and 1 000 tons of plywood was burnt to the ground by the fire. The ignition cause will be determined by investigation.

The work of the terminal is temporary stopped because of fire-fighting machinery which is still working at the premises. Handling operations at the terminal will continue shortly after the approval of the authorized bodies.

Safety and security have always been a priority for TransContainer. The cause of the incident at Logistika-Terminal premises will be analyzed carefully. All the necessary measures for stable and safe work at the company’s facilities will be taken.
