Sea cargo transportation through Novorossiysk

The port of Novorossiysk is a non-freezing deep-water port, it operates year-round without seasonal disruptions and ice navigation. Novorossiysk ranks first in Russia in terms of general cargo handling volumes and is among the top three in container cargo handling. The route through the Azov-Black Sea basin is the fastest way to deliver goods from Turkey, India, Egypt and the UAE to the European part of the country, as well as to send export shipments.

TransGID organizes international transportation through Novorossiysk. We control the process at all stages: from booking a place on the ship to organizing door-to-door deliveries, customs clearance and issuing certificates.

Our forwarders are physically present at the port terminals and CFS. We interact directly with shipping lines, railway operators and regulatory organizations 24/7. We personally carry out in-port forwarding at the port of Novorossiysk: we monitor inspections, weigh cargo, move containers and solve emerging issues on the spot without intermediaries.

To handle shipments, TransGID uses an on-port terminal with covered and open storage areas. We palletize, label and accumulate any type of goods. Direct contracts with terminals give our clients priority in service and eliminate downtime during import transshipment or export shipment.

The terminal's equipment allows us to work with any categories of goods:

• Containerized cargo (FCL). We accept standard 20- and 40-foot containers from the ship, process transit or import and arrange road haulage.
• Consolidated cargo (LCL). We consolidate small shipments from Turkey, India, the UAE and Asia. You pay only for the space you use. The container is dismantled at our warehouse.
• Refrigerated cargo. We connect refrigerated containers to power at the terminal. We maintain temperature conditions for food, pharmaceuticals and chemicals along the entire route.
• Dangerous goods (ADR). We accept chemicals and other dangerous goods of classes 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9 for transportation. The terminal has the necessary permits and equipped areas for their handling.
• Oversized cargo. We accept special equipment, machines and equipment on Flat Rack and Open Top platforms. We use reliable fastening schemes that are allowed for transporting oversized cargo on public roads.
• Bulk and liquid cargo. We specialize in exporting agricultural products and liquid cargo. We carry out mechanized transshipment of grain and leguminous crops. For liquid cargo (oils, non-hazardous chemicals), we organize the transshipment of liquid cargo in flexitanks.

TransGID works on direct contracts with sea lines, which guarantees the availability of space on vessels even during the high season.

Specialists check commodity codes of foreign economic activity in advance, calculate payments and submit the declaration. This minimizes the risk of inspections and adjustments to the value. If the law requires mandatory labeling, we apply Data Matrix codes ("Fair Sign") before releasing the goods into free circulation.
