Transportation of bulk and liquid cargo is a non-standard task that not every freight forwarding company can handle. Delivering such goods requires specialists with extensive experience who know how to properly build logistics chains, as well as specialized vehicles. STARWAYS LOGISTICS has logisticians of the appropriate level and the necessary equipment.
We have been transporting bulk cargo and liquids for over 11 years. During this time, our specialists have developed standard delivery routes for goods to Uzbekistan from China, the CIS, Europe, and Turkey, as well as in the reverse direction. By contacting us, you can import or export cargo in a short time and significantly save on freight forwarding costs.
Most often, goods arrive at the freight forwarding company’s receiving point in packaged form. This applies to the majority of food products, clothing, household appliances, and many other types of cargo. However, there are goods that are inefficient to transport in packages. These include:
Each of these goods has its own specifics, so bulk cargo transportation involves various complexities. For example, nitrate fertilizers, such as ammonium nitrate, are explosive substances. Therefore, transporting bulk cargo of this type requires additional safety measures and special permits. Organic products, such as grain or flour, are prone to spoilage and can be contaminated by dangerous microorganisms. Accordingly, specialized equipment must be used for transporting bulk cargo of this kind.
Liquids, like bulk materials, are often transported in packaging: barrels, bottles, plastic tanks. But in some cases, this is economically impractical, and in others — impossible due to the properties of the goods themselves. Therefore, companies resort to transporting liquid cargo in bulk. Most often, this service is used for the following categories of goods:
Like bulk materials, liquid cargo transportation requires thorough preparation. This is because many of these goods have specific physicochemical properties. For example, strong mineral acids are highly chemically aggressive, and liquefied gases tend to evaporate and leak. Some substances, such as petroleum products, are flammable and explosive. Therefore, special tanks and transportation permits are often required for transporting liquid cargo.
Transporting bulk cargo and liquids is a service that allows large companies to significantly save on logistics. Cost reduction is achieved through the economy of scale. The larger the volume of cargo transported, the cheaper the delivery cost per kilogram or liter. This rule works in reverse as well. Small volumes of cargo are unprofitable to transport either in bulk or in liquid form.
If you need to deliver a large quantity of liquid or bulk goods, contact STARWAYS LOGISTICS. Our specialists will help select the appropriate vehicle and minimize transportation costs.
