Rules for general transport
To ensure safety during transport, a number of mandatory rules must be followed:
Proper packaging of general cargo. Each item is packed according to the properties of the shipment itself, the specifics of the transport, and possible risks. Packaging ensures the integrity of the shipment, protects it from external influences, and facilitates loading and unloading.
Secure fixation, fastening in the vehicle. This is necessary to prevent the boxes from shifting while driving. Our experts professionally secure the shipment with the help of
- tie-downs
- straps
- stops;
- gasket materials.
Marking and identification. Each package must be clearly labelled with the recipient, destination, weight and other necessary data. This makes it easier to handle in warehouses and eliminates the risk of confusion.
Compliance with temperature, humidity, and other special conditions during the regular and international transport of general cargo of perishable or dangerous goods. Our trucks are equipped with refrigerated units that ensure a proper microclimate in the body along the entire route.
Compliance with safety regulations during loading and unloading operations and on the road. Our drivers and loaders are regularly briefed, undergo medical examinations, and strictly follow the necessary safety measures.
Transport for delivery
A range of transport modes is used to transport general cargo:
Sea - beneficial for mass and heavy shipments over long distances. It provides regular connections between major ports of different countries and continents. The disadvantages of transporting general cargo by sea are longer duration and dependence on weather conditions.
Rail - is characterized by high carrying capacity and reliability. It is optimal for containerized, liquid, and bulk cargo. The disadvantage is limited mobility and the impossibility of door-to-door transportation.
Air - benefits from faster delivery times, logistics flexibility, and point-to-point capabilities. It is used for urgent and valuable goods. Limitations - high cost, weight, volume of transported goods.
Road - manoeuvrable, fast, with delivery to the final destination. Optimal for general groupage shipments over local distances.
Our company has its own fleet of vehicles and trailers with a carrying capacity of up to 65 tonnes for flexible, prompt delivery of your goods to your destination. Our logisticians will select the optimal transport scheme based on your requirements.
Factors that determine the cost of transportation
To clarify the price of delivery of general cargo by sea or any other means, it is important to take into account not only its size, weight, how it is packed, but also additional services, such as
- insurance,
- forwarding,
- loading
- transshipment, etc.
Insurance protects the cargo from possible damage or loss, which is especially important for expensive and easily breakable items. Services for loading/unloading, storage, and paperwork also affect the cost. This helps to avoid unnecessary hassle. It ensures that the goods are delivered safely and on time. These factors determine the final price for transportation, ensuring quality service and your peace of mind for the safety of the shipment.
