GEFCO Russia Continues Partnership with the National Sailing League

02 September 2019

This year GEFCO Russia continues to work with the National Sailing League as an official logistics partner

As an official partner of the project, the company controlled all aspects of the automobile transportation of participants’ ships and equipment of 8 stages of the National Sailing League’s  Higher and Premier divisions and the Russian Championship in the J / 70 class.

As last year, a detailed plan was developed for each individual regatta, in accordance with which a wide range of logistics services was provided to all teams. Since the beginning of the season, which fell in the spring of 2019, GEFCO Russia has been organizing the transportation of ships and equipment to Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad and Sochi.

GEFCO Russia announced the start of partnerships with the National Sailing League — the largest project of the All-Russian Sailing Federation — in 2018. The long-term expertise in the automotive logistics enabled the company to ensure the successful transportation of ships and equipment for sailing regattas with geography from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok.

For our project it is a great honor to cooperate with GEFCO Russia,” said Igor Ignatov, Director General of the National Sailing League. “We are very pleased that for the second season in a row, our fleet and equipment have been traveling around the country with a reliable carrier. The solution of non-traditional tasks and the operational management of all processes are the advantages of our logistics partner, which are difficult to overestimate. We hope that our cooperation will continue and expand, as we have new routes, cities and water areas ahead.”

For GEFCO Russia, cooperation with the National Sailing League is a great opportunity to demonstrate logistics solutions at the highest level and to confirm our expert position in the market, offering optimal and efficient solutions even for technically challenging tasks.

We are pleased to continue cooperation this year. Transport support of sailing regattas within the framework of the geography of our country is a technically difficult project, primarily because of the constant change of locations. This is an interesting experience for the company and another challenge that we are ready for. The successful experience of the past season showed that GEFCO Russia can be a reliable and significant logistic partner of sailing.
