Multimodal transportation in Russia and all over the world

This type of mixed cargo transportation makes it possible to optimize the process of cargo transportation, as well as to significantly reduce the final cost of delivery.

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.

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.
