Intra-port forwarding in St. Petersburg

Intra-port forwarding is the cargoes’ transshipment in ports with all the related works, including storage and documentation.

Due to the large amount of cargo traffic in Russian ports, the demand for cargo transshipment services is quite high. However, in order to reliably perform the procedure, it is necessary to take into account many factors that affect the timing and other conditions.

The freight forwarding company is responsible for the full cargo support:

protection of cargo from damage and external factors
customs clearance
cargo movement within the port
cargo storage and placement
loading, unloading and other types of work

Freight forwarding in any port requires legal qualifications, experience, as well as contacts with the authorities and stevedoring companies. These help to optimize the cargoes’ delivery at all stages, starting from the paperwork and ending with the customer receiving the cargo.

Our company conducts intra-port forwarding according to the signed contract. It indicates the scope and type of work that will be performed by our representatives.

“AST” Group of Companies offers a comprehensive intra-port forwarding service in the ports of St. Petersburg, Ust-Luga, Baltiysk, Murmansk, Novorossiysk, Vladivostok, guaranteeing compliance with the deadlines and cargo safety.

How are transportation costs calculated?

To calculate the transportation costs, you need to specify the number of locations and the dimensions and weight of the cargo. In most cases, customers provide a cargo diagram and specify the exact loading and unloading locations. In the case of internal customs transit, it is necessary to indicate the address of the place where customs clearance will be carried out.

What is there to provide in order to apply for transportation?

What documents must be presented in order to use our cargo transportation services?

Do you offer cargo insurance services?

If necessary, we can insure your cargo and include this amount in the transportation costs. We also have carrier and forwarder liability insurance with a total insured risk of up to $1,160,000.

How reliable are your transportation services?

We are 100% financially responsible for the cargoes transported from the moment they are loaded to the moment they are unloaded. We also offer forwarding services. This is necessary if, for example, the cargoes are transferred from a ship to a motor vehicle during transportation. In this case, the freight forwarder bears the financial responsibility for the cargo.
