ADR Transport from Glazov to Kocaeli: Calcium Granules in Metal Drums (UN 1401)

We carried 20.6 tonnes of calcium granules, dangerous goods under ADR, loaded in Glazov in Russia's Udmurtia region, by road to Kocaeli via the Upper Lars border crossing and Georgia.

Challenge

Calcium granules imported into Türkiye from Glazov in Russia's Udmurtia region had to be carried to Kocaeli. The cargo was calcium with the number UN 1401: a substance listed in ADR class 4.3 that emits flammable gas in contact with water. The transport therefore had to be carried out with an ADR-certified vehicle and driver, and the drums had to be secured so that they could not shift along the way.

Solution

• ADR vehicle: The transport was planned with our partner carrier, which has an ADR-certified vehicle and driver, using a tilt trailer.
• Load securing: The metal drums were placed on the trailer in rows; the upper rows were tied together with wooden frames to secure them against shifting.
• Customs and route: Export customs procedures were completed in Glazov; the vehicle crossed into Georgia at the Upper Lars border crossing and then entered Türkiye. The destination customs office was Kocaeli.
• Tracking: Throughout the trip the status of the vehicle was tracked every day and reported to the client.

Result

• Loaded on 14 September 2026, the vehicle was unloaded in Kocaeli on 1 October 2026.
• 20,644 kg of dangerous goods were carried from the interior of Russia to Türkiye in a single vehicle in compliance with ADR rules.
