Liquid bulk and dangerous goods transportation across the border of the Russian Federation

International transportation of dangerous goods

International transportation of dangerous goods is the cross-border movement of substances and materials that can cause explosion, fire, poisoning, or environmental damage, using various modes of transport (road, sea, rail, air). It is strictly regulated by international agreements: ADR for road transport, the IMDG Code for sea transport, ICAO-TI for aviation, and RID for rail. BSF ensures reliable delivery via the ports of Novorossiysk, Saint Petersburg, and Rostov-on-Don with minimal risks and transparent timelines.

Special features of international dangerous goods transportation

The requirements for transporting this type of nomenclature are determined by the risks to people, animals, transport, and the environment. Special packaging, orange diamond labeling, and qualified personnel with ADR certification are required.

Transportation is permitted only using certified equipment, taking into account the hazard class and route. Violation of the rules entails fines, confiscation, or revocation of the carrier's licenses, so BSF strictly follows ADR and IMDG regulations.

It should be understood that port terminals have very strict rules for handling dangerous goods. In Novorossiysk, they cannot be handled within the port area. Our company handles them under the "direct option" scheme.

What is "direct option" haulage?

"Direct option" haulage is the handling of dangerous goods directly from the vessel onto a truck without storage at the port. This scheme minimizes downtime and costs, especially in Novorossiysk and Tuapse, where coordination with the terminal is required.

BSF has contracts with port terminals for direct option handling, which speeds up the process and reduces costs. This is ideal for urgent shipments with a high degree of danger.
