Bulk Cargo Transportation and Industrial Raw Materials
Specialized Rail Freight Services
To move high volumes overland, we utilize specialized rail cargo solutions. Depending on the cargo type, we deploy hopper wagons (grain carriers, mineral carriers) or open wagons. This is the most efficient method for long-distance haulage, allowing us to form dedicated Block Trains for uninterrupted supply.
Containerization Technologies
Modern logistics allows for shipping bulk goods within standard units. We use special liner bags that transform a standard shipping container into a hermetic bunker. This is the ideal solution for the multimodal transport of grain or pellets, eliminating the need to handle the product itself when changing transport modes.
Transshipment and Storage
Owning access to storage facilities with open yards and railway sidings allows us to accumulate ship-sized lots. We control loading and unloading processes at our warehouse services hubs, ensuring weight verification and surveyor quality control.
Handling Packaged Raw Materials
If the consignee’s infrastructure cannot handle loose bulk, we organize transport in FIBC big bags. These flexible soft containers are perfect for mineral fertilizers and construction mixes, enabling the use of standard curtain-sided trucks for road freight on the “last mile.”
How Dry Bulk Shipping Is Organized
Working with loose cargo requires strict weight and quality control:
1. Cargo Analysis
Assessment of physical properties (density, flowability, moisture content, hazard class).
2. Scheme Selection
Deciding between loose transport (in holds/wagons) or containerized technologies.
3. Loading
Rigorous weight control at weighing stations to avoid axle overloads. Installation of protective tarpaulins to prevent weathering.
4. Transit
Delivery to the destination with full processing of phytosanitary and veterinary certificates during customs clearance.
Industry Solutions
We adapt our bulk logistics to the specific nature of the material.
Agricultural Complex
Grain transport (wheat, barley, corn) and oilseeds requires absolute cleanliness of the cargo holds. We ensure the provision of rolling stock that has undergone sanitary processing, which is critical for food exports.
Construction and Industry
For inert materials (sand, gravel) and coal, we use open-top rolling stock. The transportation of coal and ore concentrates is often carried out via sea freight, where we charter bulkers for delivery from transshipment ports.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is natural loss?
This is the permissible reduction in cargo mass during transport (due to drying or spillage). We strictly monitor the process to ensure losses do not exceed established natural loss norms.
What are the benefits of Liner Bags?
They allow for bulk cargo transportation “door-to-door” without intermediate transshipment at elevators or ports. The cargo is loaded at the factory and unloaded at the client’s site while remaining inside the closed liner.
Do you transport dangerous bulk chemicals?
Yes, certain fertilizers are classified as hazardous. We organize their delivery in full compliance with ADR requirements, utilizing our expertise in the transportation of dangerous goods.
Raw Materials in Focus
Our professional approach and the quality of completed projects are a great foundation for long-term and productive cooperation.
Raw Materials in Focus
Scale Logistics: Specialized hopper wagons are the primary tool for delivering grain and fertilizers over long distances. The self-discharging design accelerates unloading at the terminal.
Raw Materials in Focus
Flexible Solutions: Using FIBC big bags allows us to convert bulk cargoes into general cargo, simplifying storage and further transshipment into standard semi-trailers.
