In-port freight forwarding

International Transport Group Transit coordinates terminal operations and cargo handover between the port, warehouse, rail station, and road transport. We run the process within one logistics chain: from receiving and document work to dispatch to the next leg.

Why involve a forwarder in in-port operations

At a terminal, the result depends not on a single action but on how well operations, transport, documents, and the onward route are synchronized. Forwarding keeps this process in a single loop and enables a timely response to deviations.

  1. Coordination of all parties

    We align the actions of the terminal, carriers, warehouse, and consignee. The customer does not need to build communication between several unrelated contractors.

  2. Connection with onward transportation

    We plan forwarding together with the sea, rail, road, or multimodal leg. This reduces the risk of the chain breaking after cargo handling.

  3. Document control

    We verify the set of documents required to hand cargo over to the next stage of transportation and coordinate actions during customs clearance within the logistics scheme.

  4. Operational transparency

    A dedicated manager monitors the statuses of the terminal operation and onward dispatch, reporting on agreed stages and deviations.

What cargo we transport

Forwarding is applicable to batches that require controlled passage through a port, terminal, or warehouse hub. The specific set of operations is determined by the packaging, cargo type, and route.

Types of services

In-port forwarding is not limited to one scheme: it is included in the route wherever cargo changes the mode of transportation or goes through terminal handling.

Port + rail

We coordinate unloading, terminal operations, and handover of the container to a rail platform for dispatch to the inland regions of Russia.

Sea → terminal → rail

Port + road

We arrange truck supply, cargo receiving, and dispatch to a warehouse, distribution center, or directly to the consignee.

Sea → terminal → road

Terminal + warehouse

We hand the batch over for storage, sorting, picking, packing, labeling, or preparation for onward dispatch.

Handling in the warehousing loop

Terminal + cross-docking

For batches that do not require long-term placement, we arrange through-flow handling with receiving, resorting, palletization, and dispatch.

Without long-term storage

Transportation geography

The choice of terminal and the operation scheme depend on the direction of transportation, the clearance location, the cargo type, and the onward delivery leg.

Vladivostok

The terminal on Snegovaya Street performs interterminal transportation, consolidation, 3PL storage, loading and unloading, packing, and securing of cargo.

Ussuriysk

The container terminal is used for export cargo dispatch and agro trading tasks, with handover to rail and multimodal destinations.

Moscow and St. Petersburg

The terminals support receiving and release, warehouse operations, sorting, picking, packing, and batch building for onward transportation.

Cases we solve

We shape the solution not as a set of isolated terminal jobs but as part of the cargo's movement from shipper to consignee.

Container transloading to the rail leg

After the cargo arrives at the port, we coordinate terminal operations, paperwork, and handover of the container to a platform for onward dispatch across Russia.

An import batch delivered to a warehouse

We arrange cargo receiving, agree on document work and truck supply, then hand the batch over to the consignee's warehouse or Transit's warehousing loop.

Export via the Ussuriysk terminal

For an export batch, we build the sequence of vehicle supply, terminal handling, document preparation, and cargo handover to the chosen destination.

Steps to organize transportation

  1. Receiving the request

    We clarify the route, terminal, cargo type, packaging, documents, and the target date of the operation.

  2. Planning the scheme

    We agree on the sequence of terminal actions, warehouse handling, and the onward delivery leg.

  3. Coordinating transport

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

  4. Arranging receiving

    We control the handover of cargo to the terminal and the start of the agreed operations.

  5. Supporting handling

    We coordinate loading and unloading, consolidation, packing, securing, or warehouse actions as requested.

  6. Verifying documents

    We control the set of documents required for the next stage of transportation or clearance.

  7. Handover to the next leg

    We arrange dispatch and report on the status of the cargo's onward movement.
