Logistics Encyclopedia

The arrival of a container train at a station does not mean that the container will immediately be positioned for unloading. There are many factors that can affect how quickly unloading begins - for example, — the availability of unloading fronts. This is one of the reasons for the difference between the container's arrival date and the date when unloading and pickup from the station actually begin.

There are several reasons why you may be unable to get accurate information about a container at the moment. Perhaps you did not specify:

• who the consignee is;
• the delivery address;
• the container's current position.

Without this information, it is extremely difficult to give an adequate answer to any questions about the container's current location.

It is important to understand that any calculations of the exact container arrival date are approximate. Various unforeseen situations may arise in transit (including weather conditions) that affect delivery times. It is unreasonable to assume that you can predict the actual arrival date of a container.

Unfortunately, to quickly receive information about the location of your cargo, you must know the six-digit request number. Otherwise, obtaining such information promptly may simply be impossible.

It is also important to remember that the consignee must arrive at the warehouse with a power of attorney for cargo collection. The power of attorney can also be sent in advance by email.

This is the transportation of cargo in standardized metal containers. We deliver FCL and consolidated LCL containers by sea, rail, and road

Standard 20- and 40-foot containers. Refrigerated, insulated, open-top, and other specialized containers are used for special cargo.

The main ones are the consignment note (CIM/AWB for rail or an air waybill for air transport), the bill of lading (BL) for sea transport, commercial documents (invoice, packing list), and certificates as required by the cargo.

Practically any: from consumer goods and equipment to agricultural products and pharmaceuticals. The only limitations are the container's weight and dimensions, as well as dangerous goods transportation regulations.

The main ones are speed and reliability. Air transportation delivers cargo within a matter of days (1-3 days of flight time, 5-12 days door to door). This saves time and keeps stock available during peak demand.

Practically everything, including valuable, urgent, and small-sized cargo. Temperature-controlled and dangerous goods (under special rules), live animals, medical equipment, electronics, flowers etc.

Mandatory: an air waybill (Air Waybill), a commercial invoice, and a packing list. For export shipments - also an export declaration and certificates (including phytosanitary/veterinary certificates for food products).

It is one of the most reliable delivery methods, with high capacity (up to 200 tons per train). Trains run on a schedule, which ensures a stable timetable and a low probability of delays.

Standard 20' and 40' containers (including refrigerated and special ones). If necessary, we can rent containers of the required type and size.

We optimize the route across the West Siberian Railway and other corridors, taking loading and unloading points into account. Combined delivery with last-mile road transport is available.

Yes. We provide access to a train and container status monitoring system: the customer can track the cargo's movement all the way to the destination station.

A railway consignment note (CIM), an invoice/packing list, and certificates. In a combined transport scheme, a sea waybill (bill of lading) and the necessary transit permits are added.

It is delivery that combines several modes of transport (sea, rail, road, air) within a single chain. It makes it possible to achieve savings and speed in international logistics.

Any, especially oversized and irregular cargo: containerized goods, oversized items, hazardous chemicals. Deliveries of goods from China and Southeast Asia to Russia using various transport combinations are common.

Logistics specialists analyze timing and budget requirements and combine modes of transport: for example, by sea to a Russian port, then by rail to a major hub, and then by road to the warehouse. This approach takes the customer's preferences and realistic transit times into account.

Routes from Southeast Asia (China, Vietnam, India) to Russia and back are popular. We operate regular multimodal corridors "Southeast Asia - Russia" and "Russia - Southeast Asia".

This is the delivery of temperature-controlled cargo: refrigerated containers make it possible to transport frozen and chilled goods at a constant temperature.

Refrigeration is needed for food and medical products: frozen/chilled meat, fish, dairy, vegetables, fruits, flowers, pharmaceuticals etc. - anything that requires quality preservation.

A range from -40°C to +30°C (set precisely for each type of cargo). Precise control preserves the properties of the products.

The containers are equipped with monitoring systems. During transportation we keep an eye on the readings and respond promptly to any deviations (applying emergency protocols).
