BSF offers professional organization of road haulage for cargo leaving the port of Novorossiysk, Russia’s largest seaport. We know all the specifics of terminal operations and help avoid penalties for overstorage. We will promptly pick up the cargo and deliver it to the required destination at the consignee’s request.
Features of the Port of Novorossiysk
The Port of Novorossiysk is one of Russia’s key container hubs, so the removal of containers and other cargo by road here must be planned especially carefully, taking into account heavy traffic, terminal congestion, and demurrage charges for any delay and overuse of equipment beyond the free time. The port handles standard 20- and 40-foot containers, reefers, Open Top, High Cube, oversized cargo, and other special equipment types, as well as bulk, liquid, roll-on/roll-off, and loose cargo. That is why it is very important to provide the correct transport for each cargo type and to coordinate all operations with the terminal in a timely manner.
Main terminals:
There are three main container terminals in Novorossiysk: NUTEP, NLE, and NMTP.
NUTEP is the most modern and one of the leading terminals in southern Russia, with a capacity of about 700,000 TEU per year, its own railway tracks, and direct access to the M4 highway, which speeds up onward delivery.
NLE has 11 berths, 4 of which handle containers, while NMTP is the historically key terminal of the port, specializing in transshipment of oil, petroleum products, coal, grain, and containers. The port infrastructure includes a developed road and rail network, large warehousing areas, and cold storage facilities for cargo requiring temperature control. For imports of food products, plants, and animals, veterinary, phytosanitary, and quarantine control operate in the port, so correct documentation and compliance with procedures are no less important here than the logistics of the cargo removal itself.
Cargo removal from the Port of Novorossiysk
There are four options:
- From the port to a temporary storage warehouse (TSW) in Novorossiysk
This is the best solution if the following is required:
- cargo inspection;
- repacking or re-stuffing from a container into a tarpaulin truck;
- cargo marking;
- short-term storage;
- consolidation of different shipments;
- splitting goods for dispatch to several consignees.
We work with trusted TSW facilities where:
- customs requirements are strictly observed;
- the required storage conditions are provided for all cargo types;
- additional services are available, such as photo reports on the condition and placement of the goods, marking, repacking, etc.
2. From the port to the client’s warehouse in Russia or the CIS
We provide direct delivery of containers and other cargo “from terminal to warehouse” on an agreed date.
Features of this solution:
- it can be part of a multimodal shipment, combining the sea leg and road delivery;
- the route is selected individually, taking into account cargo characteristics and road restrictions on dimensions and weight;
- direct trips are possible, as well as options with transshipment at hub terminals and intermediate warehouses;
- guaranteed cargo safety throughout the entire transit.
3. Road haulage to our warehouse with further consolidation
This option is suitable if cargo storage is needed, for example, until document formalities are settled, in order to avoid major fines for staying in the customs control zone. It is also suitable if the entire shipment needs to be accumulated (consolidated) in one place.
The service package includes:
- temporary storage of cargo at our warehouse;
- consolidation of shipments from different suppliers;
- re-stuffing into the customer’s trucks or into our tarpaulin trucks;
- optimization of last-mile delivery costs;
- preparation for dispatch to the regions according to the optimal schedule.
4. Cargo removal by rail
This integrated solution is suitable for large shipments and long distances. Our company provides:
- organization of rail transport from the port;
- coordination of wagon supply schedules;
- loading and unloading operations at destination stations;
- multimodal schemes with road haulage to the rail station;
- full control of delivery to the final destination.
What the cargo removal service includes
The container removal service from the port is a full range of operations, from dispatching the truck to the terminal to delivering the cargo to the consignee’s warehouse. We check that the container is ready for removal, obtain the necessary port approvals, verify the numbers and seals, and monitor the container’s integrity. We coordinate the optimal pickup time with the terminal in advance, taking its workload into account, arrange transfer of the container to a temporary storage warehouse or directly to the consignee’s warehouse, and support the process with all required documents.
At every stage, the client receives status updates: vehicle dispatch, departure from the terminal, arrival at the warehouse, and at the end we provide the full set of accompanying documents. Usually, removal takes only a few hours after the terminal confirms that the container is ready, but the actual time depends on the cargo type, terminal congestion, and the work of port services.
Our task is to organize the process in a way that minimizes possible delays.
