Today, a cooperation agreement for the 27th World Logging Championship was signed between the main organisers. The competition will take place in Otepää between 16 and 19 August 2006. The World Championship for Loggers will be held in Estonia for the first time. The competitions are organised by the Estonian Society of Foresters, RMK, OÜ Husqvarna Eesti and AS Stora Enso Mets.
“The agreement specified exactly what each organiser was standing for”, said Ulvar Kaubi, the chairman of the organisation committee and Marketing Manager of the RMK Forest Management Department. “By signing this agreement, the real organisational work has begun”.
The World Championships for Loggers have been held since 1970. Typically, about 120 loggers from approximately 30 countries participate in the competition. This year, the championship will take place for the first time under the auspices of the International Association for Logging Championships (IALC).
“In addition to sporting events, the competition also allows for the demonstration of professional cutting technology, equipment and safety equipment", said Kaubi. “In planning and carrying out the events, particular attention is paid to work safety which is also one of the evaluation criteria”.
Traditionally, the competition consists of five events: tree felling, fitting another chain, precision bucking, bucking by combined cut and limbing.
