Transportation of containers by railway

Railway Logistics Service provides comprehensive rail freight forwarding solutions for containerized cargo across Europe, the Baltic States, the Caucasus and Central Asia. We organize the entire transportation process, ensuring reliable, cost-effective and transparent logistics from origin to destination.

We arrange the transportation of all types of ISO containers, including both shipper-owned containers (SOC) and shipping line containers (COC). Whether you need to move a single container or organize regular shipments as part of a block train, we deliver flexible solutions tailored to your supply chain.

Our container transportation services include:

​

• Collection of containers from seaports and inland terminals

• Full rail transportation management

• Provision of suitable railway wagons and platforms

• Preparation of railway documentation (SMGS/CIM where applicable)

• Customs clearance and border formalities

• Payment of railway tariffs along the entire route

• Coordination of terminal handling operations

• Payment of shipping line and terminal charges

• Cargo monitoring and shipment tracking throughout the journey

 

Cost-Effective Container Solutions

 

When shipping line containers cannot be used for the entire route, we can arrange the transshipment of cargo into carrier-owned or privately owned containers. This solution eliminates the need to return empty containers to the shipping line, helping customers reduce transportation costs by avoiding empty return charges, detention and demurrage fees.

 

Value-Added Logistics Services

 

Thanks to our extensive network of agents and logistics partners, we can provide additional services at destination stations, including:

• Customs brokerage

• Terminal handling

• Warehousing

• Last-mile delivery to the consignee

• Cargo inspection and insurance
