Международные мультимодальные перевозки грузов

Multimodal transportation is used where direct delivery by one type of transport is impossible. The cargo moves in a single shipping unit (container) using different modes of transport, but without reloading the contents.

We act as a single logistics operator: combining sea, rail, road and air transport under one contract. We coordinate the schedules of ships, freight trains and vehicles, eliminating downtime at transit terminals. You get an end-to-end rate and a guarantee of cargo safety from the sender's factory to your warehouse in the Russian Federation.

Main schemes of combined transportation

We select the optimal routes based on the required deadlines and the client's budget. TransGID uses

Sea + Rail DeliveryBasic route for imports from Asia. The most popular route, from China to Russia, is implemented through the ports of the Far East (Vladivostok, Nakhodka). Containers are transshipped onto fitting platforms and travel by rail to the terminals of Moscow (Vorsino, Elektrougli, Selyatino) or any other regions of the Russian Federation. Suitable for general shipments, machines and raw materials.

Sea + Road DeliveryClassic scheme for door-to-door transportation. Sea freight is carried out to the ports of Novorossiysk and St. Petersburg or transit hubs (Istanbul, Bandar Abbas). At the arrival terminal, the container is loaded onto a container truck from our fleet and delivered to the recipient.

Air + Road (Express)Solution for valuable cargo and samples. Air delivery to the nearest available international airport, followed by road transportation to the warehouse.

Single document

We issue an end-to-end bill of lading (FIATA Multimodal Transport Bill of Lading) or a single waybill covering all stages of the journey

Own fleet and SVH

We do not depend on third-party carriers at the stage of road transportation from ports and railway stations

Licensed customs clearance

We carry out customs formalities for cargo right at the arrival ports or final stations

Financial logistics

We organize payment to your suppliers in compliance with foreign exchange control

Geography of international transportation

TransGID organizes multimodal container transportation only in international traffic. We operate in the following directions:

China and Southeast Asia. Multimodal transportation from China, Korea, Vietnam and Thailand. We use consolidation warehouses in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Qingdao, as well as land border crossings Alashankou, Khorgos and Mudanjiang.

Middle East and India. Multimodal transportation from India and the UAE. We build routes through Iranian sea ports (Bandar Abbas) with further transit by road or ferries across the Caspian Sea to Astrakhan and Makhachkala.

Europe and Turkey. Multimodal transportation from Europe via Turkish warehouses (Istanbul, Ambarli). We organize transit of cargo through the CIS countries: Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan.

What goods we transport

Our infrastructure allows us to accept any commercial shipments for transportation:

FCL (Full Containers): Standard 20- and 40-foot containers.

LCL (Loose Cargo): We consolidate small shipments from different suppliers into one multimodal route.

Oversized and heavy cargo: We use specialized platforms (Flat Rack, Open Top) and low-frame trailers for the delivery of special equipment and production lines.

Dangerous goods (ADR): Transportation of industrial chemicals and batteries in compliance with the requirements of sea and rail lines.

Benefits of working with a single operator TransGID

When organizing a complex transit chain, working through intermediaries carries the risks of cargo loss and hidden payments. By working with us, you get:

What is the difference between multimodal, mixed and intermodal transportation?

From a legal and practical point of view, these are synonyms for the customer. The term mixed transportation is more often used in the internal legislation of the Russian Federation.

Multimodal transportation is carried out by one company, which is also responsible for the cargo at all stages of delivery. The carrier issues a single package of documents for all modes of transport. It is faster and more convenient.

Intermodal transportation is carried out by different companies. Each company is responsible for its stage of transportation and issues a separate set of documents. It is longer and more complicated in terms of preparation and оформления.

Who is responsible for the cargo when changing transport at the port or station?

The responsibility lies entirely with us as a single operator. You enter into one agreement with TransGID LLC. All risks when reloading the container from the ship to the train or from the railway platform to the truck are insured and controlled by our representatives at the terminals.

How to calculate the cost of mixed transportation?

The end-to-end rate depends on the port of shipment (for example, Shanghai or Ningbo), the type of container (20 or 40 feet) and the destination station in the Russian Federation. For the calculation, a packing list and an invoice are needed. We will provide a rate, taking into account terminal handling (THD), freight and auto-export.

Do you carry out customs formalities for transit routes?

Yes. We carry out customs clearance both at border crossings (Vladivostok, Zabaikalsk) and at internal customs posts (CED) after completing the customs transit procedure.
