Why arrange in-port handling through Transit

At a port or terminal, synchronization of operations is especially important: uncoordinated actions increase handling time and the risk of extra costs. We combine terminal work with the onward leg of transportation and document control.

  1. One management cycle

    Terminal handling, the overland leg, warehouse operations, and documents are coordinated by one responsible partner. This simplifies cargo handover between stages and deviation control.

  2. Terminals in key logistics hubs

    The company's warehousing infrastructure includes terminals in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Vladivostok, and Novosibirsk, as well as a container terminal in Ussuriysk for export cargo.

  3. Operations tailored to cargo characteristics

    Depending on the task, we arrange receiving, loading and unloading operations, consolidation, packing, securing and unsecuring, and container stuffing or unstuffing.

  4. Status and document control

    A manager monitors operation statuses, documents, and onward dispatch. Shipment information and closing documents are available in a single support loop.

What cargo we transport

The scope of operations is agreed before work begins: we consider the type of packaging, placement requirements, the need for consolidation, and the onward dispatch scheme.

Transportation geography

We select the terminal and the sequence of operations with regard to the route, the customs clearance location, the cargo type, and the onward delivery leg.

Vladivostok

The terminal on Snegovaya Street performs receiving and release of cargo for interterminal transportation, SKU-based 3PL storage, consolidation, loading and unloading, packing, and securing.

Ussuriysk

The container terminal in Ussuriysk is used for export cargo dispatch and agro trading tasks.

Moscow and St. Petersburg

The Moscow and St. Petersburg terminals support receiving, release, storage, sorting, picking, packing, and batch building for distribution.

Company scale and capacity

The warehousing and terminal infrastructure makes it possible to include cargo handling in the route without handing the operation over to several unrelated contractors.

Cases we solve

We build the in-port handling scheme around the specific cargo handover point and the next transport leg.

A batch from the port to the rail leg

We arrange cargo receiving, terminal handling, and handover to rail dispatch in an agreed sequence. The manager monitors operation statuses and documents.

Consolidation of import shipments

Several batches are received at the terminal, go through the agreed warehouse operations, and are prepared for onward dispatch into the regional network.

Distribution without long-term storage

For distribution we use cross-docking: cargo is received, resorted, palletized, and sent to destination addresses without long-term warehouse placement.

Steps to organize transportation

  1. Request and initial data

    We clarify the terminal, cargo type, volume, packaging, documents, and onward route.

  2. Operation plan

    We determine the sequence of receiving, transloading, consolidation, storage, or cross-docking.

  3. Transport arrangement

    We plan the supply of a truck, container, or rail rolling stock for the operation.

  4. Receiving and control

    We receive the cargo at the terminal and record operation statuses in the agreed loop.

  5. Cargo handling

    We perform the agreed loading, unloading, warehouse, packing, and securing operations.

  6. Document preparation

    We verify the set of documents required to hand the cargo over to the next stage.

  7. Dispatch and updates

    We hand the cargo over for onward transportation and provide information on the operation status.
