The shipment was transported from Tampere via the port of Vuosaari to Germany and from there via the Poland and Slovakia before it reached its end destination in Ukraine. Finnlines was also involved in assisting with the transportation by offering the emergency aid transport, operated by Kuehne+Nagel, from Finland to the port of Travemünde.
The shipment arrived safely at the Ukrainian Red Cross warehouse in the village of Solomonovo on Monday 2nd of May. The shipment is divided into smaller parts, which will be distributed to the Ukrainian Red Cross in Uzgorod. Finnish aid workers in Ukraine will set up a health care clinic and hand it over to the Ukrainian Red Cross.
According to Ritva Lahti, Head of Procurement at the FRC: “Our cooperation here in Finland has worked well with Kuehne+Nagel, and we are very grateful for your support in transporting the clinic.”
