Shipload transportation of general cargoes

General cargo is understood to include any packaged cargo transported on board a marine vessel. Transportation of this kind of cargo unlike bulk transportation requires more careful treatment. Cargo is shipped in a separate transport unit – a container or a ship.

The sole most convenient and available method of intercontinental transportation of any general cargoes is marine transportation. It is presently the most beneficial, reliable and safe.

An optimum alternative to transport small lots of cargoes by sea is line shipping, in particular, container shipments.

Shipload transportation is a better solution for big consignors, working with bulk cargoes.

A full shipload makes it possible to transport cargoes by any individual route between any accessible sea ports. This method helps optimize all logistic and transport expenses, perfectly satisfying the client’s needs related to timeframes and delivery costs.

Shipload transportation includes a number of tasks:

From development of the optimum route and search of a vessel of the relevant tonnage for a specific shipment at a specific time to control of the logistic chain, comprising stockpiling, storage, loading, transportation and insurance of cargo over the entire route.

Being in constant touch with transportation partners, market monitoring and close cooperation with counteragents around the world help us control this complicated process on-line and promptly respond to any situations, ensuring a timely and successful delivery of cargo.
