Transportation of loose and bulk cargo
International Transport Group Transit organizes logistics for grain, flax, peas, meal, oilcake, coal, and construction materials. We select packaging, transport mode, and a multimodal arrangement with regard to cargo behavior, lot sizes, and route infrastructure.
Calculate Cost
What determines the arrangement for loose or bulk cargo
For such shipments, what matters is not only the rate and the route but also how lots are formed, compatibility with transport, terminal technology, and preservation of cargo quality.
Packaging selection
For grain, flax, peas, meal, and oilcake, we consider liner bags and big bags depending on the agreed arrangement.
River leg
For coal and a number of bulk cargo types, we use inland waterway transportation as part of a multimodal route.
Combination of several transport modes
We arrange river + rail + road combinations to connect the shipping point, the terminal, and the end consignee.
Working with cargo behavior
We factor in requirements for the cargo, packaging, transshipment, and subsequent transport operations when preparing the route.
What cargo we transport
We select an operational arrangement for agricultural, construction, and industrial loose and bulk lots.
| Category | Product examples |
|---|---|
| Grains and pulses | Grain, flax, peas |
| Processed products | Meal, oilcake |
| Fuel cargo | Coal |
| Construction materials | Loose and bulk construction cargo |
| General cargo | Lots that can be incorporated into a river or multimodal arrangement |
Types of transportation
We build transportation around cargo specifics and infrastructure availability along the route.
Rail leg
Used for delivery between regions and connection with river, port, and terminal operations.
River + rail
Road delivery
We arrange the first and last mile between a production site, terminal, station, and consignee.
River + rail + road
