BSF Company
takes charge of organizing the delivery of bulk goods, offering reliable solutions using modern vessels and full control at all stages.
Cargo transshipment at the Port of Novorossiysk is a set of operations involving the transfer of goods from seagoing vessels (bulk carriers, container ships) to rail or road transport or warehouses, ensuring seamless integration into multimodal supply chains. In 2025, the port handled around 168 million tonnes of cargo, maintaining its leading position among Russian ports in terms of dry and liquid bulk throughput in the ice‑free Tsemes Bay, which offers a 16‑km quay line and draft depths of up to 19 meters. BSF provides reliable cargo handling services, minimizing risks and transit time for both exporters and importers.
Terminal operations in Novorossiysk are characterized by high throughput capacity: NCSP is designed for over 200 million tonnes per year, including substantial container volumes, while NLE specializes in container handling and storage. This is more than simple rehandling; it is an integrated process that takes into account the specifics of the ice‑free Tsemes Bay with drafts up to 19 meters, making it convenient for bulk carriers and container ships. Operations include handling of dangerous, liquid and dry bulk cargo.
BSF has direct contracts with the NLE (Novoroslesexport) and NCSP (Novorossiysk Commercial Sea Port) terminals. This enables us to promptly process containers, dry bulk and breakbulk cargo at berths No. 28–30 of NLE and in the dedicated areas of NCSP. The terminal agreements ensure full compliance with the rules approved by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation (Order No. 182 of 2014). Thanks to these partnerships, BSF provides this service with full transparency of costs and lead times, which is ideal for multimodal delivery schemes.
Cargo handling in Russian seaports is strictly regulated and consists of sequential steps designed to ensure safety and efficiency. The typical workflow includes:
Acceptance and inspection of cargo: verification of documentation, recording of volumes in the contract, acceptance from vessel, railcars or trucks.
Unloading and storage: deployment of cranes and handling equipment; temporary storage at NLE/NCSP terminals.
Processing and packing: direct operations (ship‑to‑terminal or terminal‑to‑ship) or via warehouse; re‑packing and labelling as required.
Loading onto onward transport: loading into containers, rail wagons or trucks; issuance of VGM and other required approvals.
Release and documentation support: final checks, customs documentation and handover to the end consignee.
Strict adherence to these steps minimizes idle time and fully complies with applicable regulations.
