Dangerous goods
We arrange transportation with regard to the hazard class, packaging requirements, and the necessary accompanying documents.

Special cargo transportation
International transport group Transit arranges transportation of cargo with special requirements for packaging, equipment, temperature, documentation, securing, and routing. We select a transportation scheme based on the characteristics of the shipment and integrate it into a single logistics loop.

When a special logistics scheme is required
For such cargo, simply choosing a mode of transport is not enough. It is important to align the shipment's technical requirements, document preparation, handling, loading, handovers between legs, and control of key operations.
Cargo parameters are the foundation of the solution
Before quoting, we clarify the physical properties, packaging, weight and dimensions, temperature conditions, and accompanying documentation requirements.
Transport and equipment pairing
We select a container, a specialized tank unit, rolling stock, or road vehicles in accordance with the nature of the cargo and the route.
Control at route junctions
We plan cargo handovers between sea, rail, road, inland waterway, and warehouse stages so that no operation becomes a separate, unmanaged link.
A single operational loop
Transportation, terminal operations, warehouse handling, customs clearance, and the last mile can all be arranged through one responsible partner.
What cargo we transport
We work with cargo where special transportation or handling conditions are critical. The specific technology is agreed after analyzing the product range and the route.
| Category | Product examples |
|---|---|
| Dangerous goods | DG-classified products, lithium batteries, goods with packaging and DGR/MSDS documentation requirements |
| Temperature-controlled cargo | Fish, meat, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, frozen prepared foods, pharmaceuticals, flowers |
| Liquid cargo | Oils, wines, juices, chemicals — in tank containers or standard containers with a flexitank |
| Dry bulk cargo | Grain, flax, peas, meal, oil cake, coal, construction materials |
| Oversized and heavy cargo | Industrial equipment, special machinery, heavy indivisible units |
Types of transportation
The choice of scheme depends on the cargo's properties, the origin and destination points, the available infrastructure, and the timing requirements.
Refrigerated transportation
We move perishable and temperature-sensitive cargo in reefer containers with control of the set temperature regime.
−25 °C to +25 °C
Liquid cargo
We select a solution based on a tank container or a flexitank inside a standard 20-foot container.
T-11/T-14 · flexitanks
Oversized and heavy cargo
For cargo that does not fit into a standard container, we develop the route, the securing scheme, and the sequence of project operations.
Engineering-driven approach
Transportation geography
We apply special solutions on domestic Russian, import, and export routes. The route is agreed after assessing the cargo parameters and the available infrastructure.
Russia and the CIS
Road, rail, inland waterway, and multimodal schemes with delivery between ports, terminals, stations, and consignee facilities.
Imports from Asia
Sea and rail routes from China with onward delivery across Russia; reefer container solutions are available for temperature-controlled cargo.
Export shipments
Arranging the export of products via port, rail, and multimodal routes with the shipment's characteristics taken into account.
Temperature-controlled equipment
Refrigerated containers with Thermo King equipment and in-transit temperature monitoring.
Liquid cargo solutions
T-11 and T-14 tank containers and flexitanks for transporting a range of liquid cargoes.
Project cargo equipment
350+ units: lowboy trailers, modular platforms, escort vehicles, and truck cranes.
Inland waterway logistics
Transportation of bulk, general, and oversized cargo with an inland waterway leg integrated into a 'river + rail + road' scheme.
Cases we handle
We design a scheme for the specific product range rather than applying a single template to different cargo categories.
Temperature-controlled shipment
We determine the temperature regime, select a reefer container, and plan the route with in-transit temperature monitoring.
Liquid cargo
We compare product properties, shipment volume, and route, then choose a tank container or a flexitank inside a standard container.
Non-standard equipment
We carry out engineering analysis, select the transport equipment and securing scheme, and arrange the process of obtaining the required permits.
Stages of arranging transportation
We collect cargo data
We clarify the product range, packaging, weight and dimensions, temperature, hazard class, and documents.
We verify the requirements
We define the requirements for packaging, equipment, securing, escort, and terminal handling.
We design the route
We select transport legs and control points with the infrastructure and restrictions in mind.
We prepare the operation
We coordinate the equipment, loading, documents, and the parties involved.
We run the transportation
We coordinate execution of the agreed scheme and cargo handovers between stages.
We monitor the status
We report progress through the agreed control points and handle any deviations.
End-to-end logistics support
Special transportation can be complemented with the services needed to move the shipment all the way from shipper to consignee.
Customs clearance
Import and export procedures handled in the same loop as transportation.
Warehouse handling
Receiving, storage, packing, labeling, and preparing cargo for the next stage.
Multimodal delivery
A combination of sea, rail, road transport, an inland waterway leg, and terminal operations.
Project logistics
Engineering route analysis and management of complex oversized cargo operations.
FAQ
We need a cargo description, packaging, weight and dimensions, origin and destination points, temperature or hazard class requirements, and information about the documents, if they are already available.
