Sea cargo transportation

Sea transportation is the oldest and global means of transportation for long distances. It is available for all cargo types. For long, Russia has been one of the leading sea and ocean powers, having access to the major waterways and basins. Here, sea transportation is a well-developed and demanded service on the international market: sometimes, it is used even for delivery within one the same continent.

Our company will organize export and import transportation by sea on a turnkey basis between any continents and countries. The international transportation company Logos operates without any intermediaries and cooperates with the largest ports of the world. It takes less than a month to deliver goods to or from Europe by sea, and no more than two to other parts of the world.

Advantages of sea transportation

  • The cheapest way to deliver any goods for long distances.
  • High level of transportation reliability.
  • Suitable for all cargo types.
  • Opportunity to transport extremely large consignments.
  • High carrying capacity: by sea, you can bypass borders of many countries with their own customs clearance rules.

In other words, transportation by sea is preferred when low cost and high cargo safety are important, with delivery time taking second billing.

Difficulties of sea transportation

  • Sea freight logistics is considered to be the most complicated task in international transportation. It requires interaction with lots of contractors (a shipping company, a ship agent, a port, etc.).
  • Low speed and strong dependence on weather conditions make it impossible to guarantee delivery of goods on time.
  • Rigid packaging requirements.

Cargo types suitable for sea transportation

Our company offers sea transportation of two cargo types: consolidated cargo – consignments from various clients in one container and a fully loaded container. Goods with different characteristics and dimensions are allowed for delivery.

  • Bulk and liquid cargo (transportation in tankers of various capacity).
  • Non-standard and oversized cargo.
  • Hazardous goods.

The majority of goods is transported by sea in special containers. Standard international container sizes are 20 and 40 feet. Before being shipped, the container is sealed with the client present.

Currently, container sea transportation is believed to be the safest way of cargo delivery. Their cost depends on the cargo size and characteristics.
