General Cargo

Transportation of break-bulk, unitized cargo requires that shippers and carriers maintain stringent unified standards of packaging, labeling, movement processes and temporary storage compared to handling dry bulk shipment. Forwarding such cargoes in the port is associated with an increased scope of shipping documents, permanent monitoring of the transported loads safety and condition, as well as additional claims-related work.

Universal Forwarder provides transport and forwarding services for non-primary upstream, midstream and downstream products at Russian ports of the Baltic and Azov-Black Sea basins, and at CIS states’ ports. If necessary, we can arrange the unlashing, additional processing, repacking and avoidance of cargo damage from precipitation.

Our competencies and well-established business relationships ensure that clients will receive comprehensive information on the progress of loading/unloading of their cargo, reduce idle time in the port, and timely complete state supervisory authorities formalities.
