How transportation is organized
Design the route and check restrictions
We compare available rail, road and sea leg combinations and assess timing, cost, port and border conditions, container requirements, cargo type and documents.
Coordinate pickup and equipment
We arrange container or truck placement and coordinate loading window, shipper address, weight and dimension parameters, packaging requirements and cargo handover instructions.
Prepare transport and customs documents
We check commercial documents, transport instructions, transit requirements and customs data before dispatch to reduce the risk of delays at borders, ports or terminals.
Coordinate interfaces between transport modes
We control transitions between road, rail and sea parts of the route: terminal handling, transshipment, port operations, the Caspian crossing and further cargo movement.
Deliver cargo and close the shipment
We coordinate the final transport leg to the recipient, confirm delivery, hand over final documents and arrange return of the empty container when required by the transport terms.
Cargo requirements
Some cargo can be accepted only after checking the route, permits, packaging, safety documents, carrier requirements and restrictions in transit countries.
