Delivery of goods from European ports

Trucking as a model of delivery of goods from Europe

International road transport of goods is one of the most popular and demanded ways of transporting goods in Europe. Medium and small businesses in Ukraine often use this model for sending from Europe to Ukraine and for exporting Ukrainian goods to EU countries due to the availability and optimal time-cost-safety ratio.

Advantages of road transport on the Europe-Ukraine line:

• ample opportunities of the LCL model → the cost of delivery of groupage cargo is significantly lower for each owner of the goods participating in the Less-than-container Load scheme
• the ability to send several cargo vehicles (TC) with a single package of documents for the FCL-model → optimization of administrative time and budget
• transportation of groupage cargo using the vehicle of reliable partners-subcontractors under the control of the general operator represented by the company “Hals Market”
• transportation in containers, refrigerated trucks;
• the ability to select a customs control point at the border, taking into account the workload → reduced delivery time
• using auto delivery as a component of multimodal (combined) transportation
• fast and inexpensive delivery of small batches, small-sized goods
• frequent scheduled flights
• possibility of door-to-door delivery

High efficiency of delivery of goods from Europe as part of an LCL container by road is achieved due to the consolidation of goods at the nearest warehouse. Brokerage and logistics holding “Hals Market” has leased consolidated warehouses in the EU countries (Poland, Germany, Hungary). For shipment, a prefabricated party is formed, taking into account the requirements for joint transportation. Then the company managers draw up an individual route, taking into account the class and other characteristics of the groupage cargo.

International sea transport

Cargo transportation EU-Ukraine / Ukraine-ЄC by sea will be the best solution for container transportation of large consignments from abroad. It should be borne in mind that sea freight often takes more time in comparison with auto and air delivery.

A large share of the Eurozone’s cargo turnover is in the Port of Rotterdam (Netherlands) – the largest port in the EU. Productivity is 12 million TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit). The presence of a 40-kilometer deep port water area provides the ability to receive large cargo ships with a large displacement. The high manufacturability of the Rotterdam Marine Hub and the automation of processes make it possible to ensure compliance with the deadlines and speed of delivery of the processed goods. River transport routes include the Port of Amsterdam as the final / starting point for transporting the Rhine. The port of Antwerp is one of the most important transport hubs in Europe due to its advantageous geographical location in the very center of the mainland.
